Dougz77 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hey Raiders, I got up early this morning to get down to my fav spot as the conditions looked very fishy. Wind was peaking at 10-15 knots but was fairly calm. I was targeting Jewies on this outing so i decided to use heavier gear, larger mustard 5/0 bait holder hooks, 20lb line etc.. By 4am i had a bucket full of livies (yakkas) ready to drop in front of any jewies that may have been around looking for an easy meal. After about an hour of having two yakkas out in the water and a tide change i had a decent hit! As i grabbed the rod quickly a fair amount of line was being torn from the spool in a frantic pace. After this first run i gave some back to the fish and slowly retrieved him in, which i thorght was a little too easy. No jewie but instead a very hungry bream of 28ish cm's (pretending to be a jewie!!!) See photo He must have been starving before i came along because he demolished the live yakka head first. He was well hooked to my 5/0 hook which really surprised me that it would fit in his mouth!!! Anyway from this point on all went dead and i had only pickers till i finished at 8am. Even though no jewie this time it was still great fun and worth getting up early. It seems that even when i use small hooks and light gear as well as heavy gear i seem to find bream at my local spot in Sydney Harbour. Take care all Dougs77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 That was a bit of excitement for you Doug! Bet you were surprised when you saw the breambo!! Surprised he could fit the hook in his mouth! Hope you get your jewie next time Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piss'n'Broke Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Bloody bream taking your livies! . This used to be a regular occurance in the harbour for us. Bream and snapper to 45cm would take our bite size liveys. Yakkas <100mm Grrrrr. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werris Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Good work mate. I used to get live poddy mullet smashed by Bream. They don't mind a decent sized feed sometimes. I guess they get bored with prawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I do get bream on live poddy mullet and small yakka's but in the georges river a few weeks ago had a 32cm tailor out for a livie and reel in a 24cm bream undersized with the hook swallowed down deep!!! My theory is the livie got off the hook with a piece off wherever u hooked it stuck on the hook so the very hungry bream take it A.dawg~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougz77 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 I cooked him amd ate him last night. Found when i gutted him that he had two semi digested crabs in his guts. I never thought bream to be such a garbage guts until now. Dougs77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
