GregL Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Nice work and both crackers! Are you casting into the marina after your bream? The sercurity is on the ball usually down there..... G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james7 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Congratulations Adzzy on the pbs! All because you knocked off work early. Imagine if you'd have taken the whole day off! That bream is a real thumper. And I never thought I'd say it, but I am actually jealous of someone with the crabs! Top catch. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh88 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Great bream mate, thats a nice big one, 2kg is a good size. Nice on the muddie as well, bet that tasted good. Add your photo to catch of the month and brag board if you want-its all up to you! Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi GregL i was casting into the very last birth furthest from the shore line why would the security care if im on my own boat thats not illegal i hope cheers Inside the marina is ment to be a "fish sanctuary" so the coast gaurd and sercurity use to always tell us.. That place is full of MONSTER bream Take a loaf of bread down and rip a few pieces up and chuck it in the corner of your berth. Shouldn't take long for the bream to start going ape over it. Now squash some over a unweighted hook but leave a section unsquashed so it will either float or slowly sink and hang on! Some of the old blokes in there and Cabarita marina showed me this many years ago. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjneville Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Fish sanctuary my ass. It's a public waterway. You can't own the water. They're just concerned about me dinging the hull of their precious floating gin palaces with my jig heads Diddums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerg Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Adzzy - very nice bream mate. There is absolutely no problem fishing the outside wall mate, though some of the gestapo will try to tell you that it is "private" on the outside of the marina too. I've been shoo'd away whilst fishing the outside walls of the marina at cabarita, though the security guard couldn't tell me how far the "private property"of the marina extended out from the outside pontoons. cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
