Rod L Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Been fishing with my father-in-law Dene (Hodgey’s guide/driver/antagonist ) over the Christmas period. We’ve mainly concentrated on Bream with poppers with lots of “kisses” and a few good catches. Poppering over a break in the weed bed yesterday and was lucky enough to see this momma come up and suck the popper in. She fought well and with lots of instruction from the guide we were able to boat her, take a few snaps, measrure her to 72cm and send her on her way. They’re a bit hard on the popper but a great by-catch when targeting Bream. Thanks for the lend of the guide Hodgey, he’s not too bad Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome when you actually see them come in for the popper, eh? Cheeiro Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
