glennmreid Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Went back to my usual spot today for a fish. My spot didn't disappoint. After a slow start, ended up catching 5 bream, 3 mullet and 2 great flatties. The flatties were 52cm & 57cm. Plenty of solid bites after the turn of the tide. Hooked and lost a decent sized fish. Caught the flatties on ganged pilchards.Just as well I was using ganged hooks, the leader was light and would've had no chance against those flattie teeth. Took home the 2 flatties, and 2 mullet which will be great for those Roseville jews. 52cm flattie 57cm flattie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sails Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well done for a good outing Chopper 75. I had lunch to the north of the Roseville bridge during the week and watched from the car as something of good size pushed its bow-wave up and down real close to the edge, passed the pull-over where the garbage bins are. Couldn't make out what species it was but there was some size in the wave so it got me excited.Plenty of bream cruising that area also. Its one place I hope to fish sometime from the yak cheers Sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennmreid Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Chopper, can i ask what rig u used to catch those mullet? traditional bread and small hook rig? Bread on a size 10 hook rig. I basically used the same set up that I use for blackfish. A sliding float rig with 3 small split shot sinkers and a size 10 hook. So much mullet around at the moment. Boy, do they like to give a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpanag Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 That's a great bag of fish, good to see there are still plenty of fish up that way at the moment. They're 2 real good size flatties as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
