Davemmm Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I have put a little time lately into the bream in a particular area of Botany Bay. I have had a couple of expeditions that returned donuts and a few sessions that have brought in small returns but I am starting to get it right now. The fish have turned out to be almost non-existant in the daytime but like to put on quite a show after dark. Last night was a session that was quite lively. I put in about 1.30am and got settled in by 2.00. The first cast seemed to go straight down a breams throat, a short sharp tussle and he won his freedom around a bit of structure. Fifteen minutes later I was on again, this time i managed to drag him into the clear to land a 30cm model. The evening continued like that till dawn. Landed a few, got busted up by a few more. Seven reasonable bream ended up in the tinney ranging from 27cm to 41cm. Neptune managed to keep at least the same amount of rigs so I guess we are even. I fished with both nippers and mullet and it was about fifty fifty on the hits for each The bigger fish took mullet gut that I think must of got stuck in his throat because it was the weakest blue I have ever had with a bream of that size, he pretty much had one good run and then gave up completely not even a last minute dart when he got near the boat! As soon as the sun came up it attracted both the little pinkys and the rain so I packed up and left. Great night and very lucky the rain held off till morning. Dave I know I said seven but the neighbor was coming in with the papers when I got home so she scored one for dinner.

damariboyz Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the report mate. I am on hol's at the moment and only said to my I might put in an after dark session next week. Will make the extra effort and get some live Nippers down Maianbar on the day. I have had no luck on the Bream this year so this may be the turning point. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to the pic's Russ Edited January 19, 2008 by damariboyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 The bream have been on a bit for the last week or so. I think the big seas probably brought them in. It certainly hasnt been a good summer season though has it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
