Camden Haven River 15/16, Hastings River 17th

[Dan A]

What a good weekend and ADO, managed to get out fishing all 3 days.

First day was on the Camden Haven tried a new spot and berleyed up for a while using no frills oats, this is my standard burley mix with a touch of oil for scent and they sink well.

Sat there for a little while and the burley kicked in, started hooking into a few small bream and the got a nice flatty as well as a couple bream.

Next day hit the Camden haven again but this time went up one of the creeks off queens lake and managed a nice 35cm Bream and a 50cm Flatty, released the bream as he didn't look very healthy at all, very skinny and sluggish.

Today was on the Hastings river, started out a bewdiful morning, travelled up the Maria river attempted to drift fish for a little while for a small flounder which was released.

Little bit more drifting and hooked up on a nice pan size flathead, in the well he went.

Anchored up as the wind was howling an blowing me along to quickly, stayed for a little while and managed a nice 35cm Bream, then the wind got to much and decided to seek shelter.

The travel back wasn't very nice 1/2 meter chop in some parts making for a wet ride home.

Good weekends fishing and able to check out a few new spots as well, in the end managed 5 Bream and 4 flathead from memory, I could be missing some!

Not Sure what sort of fish this is?

Nice Bream, Released.

Flatty's

Bream for the Plate.

Nice 34cm Bream for the Plate.

Dunno what that fish is !! Maybe the rare large finned striped whiting...

Nice haul though.

I had a fish that looked very similar to this in and aquarium. It was called a targer perch. Good work on the flatties and the bream.

Cheers
