Breambucket Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Hey guys Went up to south west rocks to fish with my uncle in there annual fishing comp / get together It was definitely a hard weekend and i have never fished fast moving water with lures befor but i was up to the challenge heres a pic of the vessel we fished out of Day 1 started off slow and we could only manage flattties and small bream for the first couple of hours, i had a go at some hard bodys (first time in salt water) and pulled what i thought was a nice bream out of some cover but it ended up being a nice bass in really salty water! there you go basscatcher one for you We fished rock walls that were basically anywhere between 14-30ft deep and basically hopped both plastics and blades down them which as you could imagine takes a hell of alot of your tackle with it We finally found some bream but most were between 21-24 fork length, heres a pic of the first we caught After around 20 flatties and a couple of nice lost bream i decided to try using a stinger hook in the tail and i finally landed our first legal bream (and only of the weekend) which went 425 grams and around 28 fork which was still good enough for 9th over all the first day sorry no pic this one went straight into the live well Day 2 was alot slower and even though the bream didnt play for us i still had a good time and landed some nice flatties and whiting. for everyone in the comp it was a hard weekend and the bag that won the comp for 8 fish was only around 3.4kg or something I enjoyed myself the whole time and it was still a great experience, a few teams didnt even weighed in a bream so it just goes to show how tough it really was Here are a few pics from the weekend Thanks for reading guys Pete Edited September 20, 2010 by Breambucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElwoodBlues Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey Pete Unlucky the bream didnt want to come to the party. But what an awesome boat to be on for the weekend. You got some very nice flatties tho. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading to a skeeter some time in the future??? Mate i would love a skeeter and they are a great boat but i think the cost for me at this stage is a little too much maybe in a few years are you goin to the social in the bay? we can have that friendly comp we were talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
