robeebee Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) sorry for the delay on this report as i broke the tip on my new rod and have been a tad upset anyway me and dad went out on monday for a gulp only session hit the ramp at 7.00 and was nice and quiet went just along the beach as far as the Novatel and got a nice drift going in 12' of water put on a 2"shrimp natural and sprayed with ultrabite first cast I'm on and it's a small reddie, still , first fish gets my heart going everytime second cast another reddie 29 cm's this time , getting better third cast something is pulling drag now and i'm onto a good fish but alas i drop it I know what your gunna say , every cast a fish? but it was great out there on Monday anyway, i get another good run, but boat it this time , a nice 30 cm bream ,fat one too by this time my Dad is getting a little peeved as he has had just a few bites so i give him one of my Nitro jigheads and he tries a sandworm next drift he lands a 40 cm flattie, finally . I get another good bream and have some fun with reddies (30 cm now but I set them free ) got a 28 cm flounder aswell wind picks up and changes direction so we head up to Dolls pt get another drift going and the water is a bit shallower , bout 9 to 10' put on a 4" turtleback worm (yeah I know they are for freshwater ) first cast I'm on , rod bends and get him near the boat and takes line get the net for a 52 cm flattie next 2 casts i net a 55cm model followed by a 58 cm cracker this is like a dream! wind is making it hard to drift as we cant reel in fast enough, and Dad's still getting nothing we anchor and clean the fish as the water is still filthy near the ramp i have a couple of casts as dads gutting the fish and ZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIINNNNG !!!!!!!!! pulling line like mad this one , big bream ? after 5 minutes and sore forearms a nice Trevally never got one of them before , pull like a train , great fun on light gear get the boat out of the water and pack up put my rod in the rod bag and tie it up and line goes slack shit there goes the tip took it to my local tackle shop and He tells my it it not so bad (thank god i thought it was stuffed ) he files the tip and fits a new guide and says i will only lose a bit of sensitivity and cant use really light line anymore I only use 6 pound so that is okay (i cant tie knots with 2 and 4 pound ) so a bad end to a great day out I'll give the rod a go on the weekend at the breakwalls to see how it is sorry no pic's as I had the shits Edited May 1, 2007 by robeebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bream Mad Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Great Session Mate Sounds like the gulps could do not wrong A fish every cast is as good as it gets, have not had a sesion like that for a long time Trevors have that distinctive thump,thump, thump of the tail as they pull drag at speed!! Great fun cheers BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robeebee Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) How big was that trevor you caught sounds like it went hard? didn't measure it , sorry , should have for my own benefit being my first i put it back as we had enough fish and dad said there not great eating would have gone about 45 cm's ?
