Georges River 26th May 08

Got to Oatley Bay around 7ish and launched the little timber boat

found a nice looking drift on the sounder in about 14 to 17 feet

rigged up a turtleback on a 1/8th jighead and lets go fishing

didn't take long for the action to start with both my Dad and myself landing 28 cm Bream

released these as we felt we were in for a good day

landed 4 bream in the first 20 minutes , this is good fun

the fish were starting to get a bit bigger as the morning progressed , the keeper net was filling up

Dad has a screaming fight on his 4 pound outfit and nets a 41 cm model

had a few double hookups today which made netting some big Bream interesting, (but fun )

Dad got a nice Flathead as well that went close to 60 cm's

probably dropped as many fish as we caught today as well as releasing about 6 Bream each

got a couple of 38 cm flatties also returned to grow for next time

we left them biting which was a great feeling

if this keeps up we will need a bigger keeper net

got back to the ramp and met fellow raiders Iceman and Still rockin

nice to meet you guys

tally for the day was 16 bream , 3 flatties ,couple of tailor and a whiting for me

and 8 bream, 3 flatties , a few tailor and a flounder for Dad

what a great days fishing

There's no doubt about you and your dad robeebee, you're both champions!

I'm going to stake out the ramp and follow you next time! I only live 5 minutes away.

What a great catch. The brag mat covered with those bream looks fantastic. And that 41cm one is a real thumper! When you include all the throwbacks it was a sensational session alright.

Love reading your reports

Keep up the great work (both of you)

Cheers

Some nice bream you had there Robee

Looks like we went straight past the fish and out into an empty bay

Robbie you and Dad have got the Georges down to a tee on the bream. That 16 inch bream is a bon tassler, like the big winter bream your Dad would remember. Robbie now is the time to make the bream the bi catch and fish for the big ones with the rainbows, ay

I agree with Roberta

Turtleback what a top name for the new wooden boat

turtleback was the gulp lure they were using Byron, it looks like a mix of blood/sand worm. i might have to buy a pack!
