Andy_from_the_CJ Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 G'day lads, a mate and I went down to Bobbin Head on Thursday night after a bream or two on the turn of the tide. Six pound line, size 8 snecks and unweighted bonito strips produced these four keepers. Two bigger bream broke us off on the pilings. Cheers to all, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckendorfmortgage Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I have seen some monster bream in near where the "restaurant" is. Marina management isnt keen on fishing. How did you avoid their security fellow? MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_from_the_CJ Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 hello Heckendorf, we were fishing off the back of a boat down there, which is OK with the management. Regarding the restaurant, I've seen a few blokes spinning there at the crack of dawn out of a 12 footer with an electric outboard, but I haven't seen them land anything. I think the go is, burley.

Andy_from_the_CJ Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Good one Naked. Yes, that's a very interesting creek at Appletree. I saw a whopper mudcrab swimming up it a while ago and it would probably be a good spot for a witches hat trap. There was a Chinese bloke down there throwing a cast net at the bream too, but they're too smart for that. Regards, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) fortunately we hav our boat tied up at bobbin head. the bream there a absolutely huge and same with the possums . dont ever try to put ur rubbish in the bin there at night 9 times out of ten our fury little friends will jump out with a few chips in there mouth lol. i have fished off the back of the boat berlied up alot of bream then dropped a lure down and got smashed as soon as it hit the water almost lost the bream on the props of the boat !! it was only one fish tho wen i hooked up with the fish every other bream dissappeared . apparantly there are video cameras watching the boats so i guess you will be caught on camera fishing not that i could see them really bothering to pursue you. besides they have other things to do like getting to the fuel station wen you have been waiting for a while already i have seen workers dopping a line over after work along with a few beers i guess ... thats my excuse if i get caught my guess is that andy is friends with one of the workers thats how he gets past the security either that or he sits on the roof in a possum costume dropping the line down wen the security dude isnt looking hehe nice fish btw... did they happen to taste like hamburgers and hot chips ?? thats all they seem to eat Edited January 9, 2005 by Edward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well done, that’s a very nice tidy package of bream. You seem to have had a little more success than a few of us over the weekend. Well-done guys Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Phil A mates girlfriend caught a huge Muddy on a handline with prawn bait off the Apple Tree Bay boat ramp one night. She thought it was a snag at first & started tugging at it, luckily when she did that the crab got tangled up in the line. I swear it's claws were bigger then my hands and almost twice as wide. Just the claws would have been a decent feed for 1 person lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
