Daniel Frost Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 When pre fishing we caught quite a lot of bream but also plenty of bycatch and had a couple good feeds from the Basin. What a beautiful area and lovely waterway , I will be heading back down there again for sure . Taylor where plentiful and there was some big ones amongst them . JBjew Got in on the hot bream bite What a place to catch a whiting , we caught heaps of quality fish there and they were some of the most solid whiting iv'e seen outside of Forster , not many small ones were caught they were all over 30 and some around the 40 mark . Was a very enjoyable place to fish , plenty of flats points , an island surrounded by shallows , what more could you ask for . Had a ball and thanks JB for helping out on the prefish , really appreciated your help and enjoyed your company as always , Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is that the series II SOL rod in the second last photo, Dan? A great collection of fish as always mate! Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Frost Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hodgey , im not sure about that rod , it's JBjews and that was it's maiden voyage . But i think your right it's a SOL and he just bought it brand new so i'd say so , I don't know the Daiwa rod range that well . It had a fairly slow action , it cast the heavy hardbodys quite well and the blades, I wouldn't want to cast softies with a 1\40th or 1\20 jighead on it though . Bass catcher Ive only made 3 trips to the basin but it has never been busy , except on the comp day and even then there were plenty of spots you could fish and even with all the boats moving around plenty of good fish were caught . If i were you I would go down very soon as the fish are plentiful and the accomodation is cheap in winter . 96cm Tailor now thats a BEAST , I lost some very expensive lures in my 3 trips mainly to tailor , the buggers , good fun to catch though . Poddy trapper , the Fireblood is a great reel , so smooth , lamiglass rod . The Lamiglass rods are quite brittle , they snap like toothpicks , but in their defense they are the best bream rods I have ever laid my hands on . So sensative it's unbelievable. But it's a very expensive rod and is so because of the lack of resin in the blank , making them brittle but also super sensative if I had tons of money I would have a pile of them . The light Lamiglass rods 4 to 6lb i HAVE SNAPPED 3 IN 6 MONTHS, not fun , 2 on the cast and one a bumper against the sounder . The heavier 8lb to10lb and 10lb to 12lb have been awsome . While fishing I have never snapped another rod. Now I'm using 2 Sagaki's, a miller bream buster and G Loomis Dropshot rods[ and my 3 remaining heavier Lamiglass rods] Cheers Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
