arpie Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi guys I took the yak out yesterday morning, as it was such a lovely day, & tried blackie fishing under the bridge. There are always heaps of big blackies & bream hiding between the pylons, so I just had to give it a go!! Got lots of bites, but no hookups, so when the tide turned & picked up, I high-tailed it to the safety of the Marina & tossed my TT Blade lure around! Got chatting with the local Coastal Patrol guys (in the background of the photo) who were most intrigued with My Hobie SPORT yak & just left the lure 'on the bottom'! Pulled up the rod & this is what I caught! A bloody trumpeter! Not real exciting! I had hopes of a bream or flattie & even tried it under the bridge for a blackie ...... didn't catch any tourists this time tho :) Can't wait to catch a real fish!

slinkymalinky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm guessing it didn't fight as hard as the tourist though! Maybe you could up the excitement level a bit further by trying to get past the hungry tourists and hit a holden instead... I hear they go really well on bream gear Nice to see you got a fish on a blade all the same... mine are still looking lonely and dry in the bottom of my tackle box.
