ElwoodBlues Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Was sitting watching tv on saturday night and decided to go for a fish around hunters hill I arrived at about 10pm and started getting bite pretty quick mostly from little whitting. Then at around midnight I got a hit in a big way and line was streaming off the reel. The line started to run toward the jetty pylons so I start moving down the jetty and try to bring the line off the pylon before it snaps and I loose the fish. I stand on the railing leaning over to get some leverage on the fish and keep reeling finally it surfaces a Big bream I lead him back down the jetty and got the net to get him on the deck. I measured him up and he went 43cm to the tip of the tail. That is a new PB for me. He was caught on a prawn on a size 4 longshank After about another 20 minutes I was flicking a soft plastic squid around and hooked onto a 43cm flathead So all in all a very pleasing night for me
FishDrought Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Great catch mate & thanks for sending those pic's to my phone, just to rub it in a little more Haha Cyu on Saturday!
Penguin Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Great Bream, there is a nice meal in him alone penguin
Laredo Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Great Bream, there is a nice meal in him alone penguin Real good bream mate, 43cm is also my pb. A lot seem to be 43cm mark don't they? also want to remind everyone that bream this size are 30+ years old.
GregL Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Nice bream mate. The Cove has been fishing pretty slow over the last few months and hasn't been producing the tournement winning bags it's renowned for. We have only been getting small fish threw the moorings of late. Good to see there are a few large ones up there still to be had. Definately one of the nicer waterways to fish in on the Harbour in. Greg
pelican Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Great catch . Big fish , not only 43cm but looks like it needs a vist to Jenny Craig. That is one fat fish.
ElwoodBlues Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Great catch mate & thanks for sending those pic's to my phone, just to rub it in a little more Haha Cyu on Saturday! I did invite you but you were taking care of your sick miss's so not my fault hahaha but yes I will see you on saturday Real good bream mate, 43cm is also my pb.

Your making me feel guilty about eating a 30+ year old fish but still 1 of my favourite captures Definately one of the nicer waterways to fish in on the Harbour in. Greg I would have to agree with you its such a peaceful place Great catch . Big fish , not only 43cm but looks like it needs a vist to Jenny Craig. That is one fat fish. Yeah it was very meaty fish. Hope I can get more that fat
fish feeder Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Not surprised by the size with all the talk of radio active waste there at the moment, on;y surprise is that it didnt have 3 eyes

fishhunter76 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Nice bream mate. Its better getting out there and fishing then just sitting watching the box. Good catch.
