350chev Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi Raiders, It's been some time since ive been out for a fish or posted, mainly due to work . Anyway went down to balmain to see if i could catch a feed. Ended up with 3 nice bream, 2 going 35cm and 1 thumper going 43cm . I was about to call it quits when i noticed some weight on one of the rods. To my suprise i brought up the biggest Blue Swimmer iv'e ever seen, it was huge . It went 75cm from tip to tip. If anyone has caught or seen i bigger one id love to see a pic. Cheers and tight lines raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAfisho Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Looks like the place off to the right of Elliott St? Be wary of the water quality there, there's been a lot of run off around Iron Cove due to the bridge works, a lot of sediment being stirred. Lots of white chemical crap coming out of outlets as well.
