Nelsons Bay Drummer

Recommended Posts

went up to Nelsons Bay for a couple of days with the family. I have been fishing for about a year now and have spent the last 2-3 months focused only on Drummer (in Sydney) have caught small ones but hadnt felt the fight of a decent drummer. I have used cunje, weed, prawns and always burley with bread. this time I had some crappy prawns which did nothing but attract pickers so I started to use bread. Almost immediately started to get some action, brought up about 5 small drummer and a couple decent size wrasse. And then the fight of my life followed by a second even bigger. It has taken me three months but it has been worth the effort, and they were a great feed.

good work, i still can't get over how hard a pig can pull

just a little bit south of you we got some nice drummer 45cm.

we were using pealed prawns from coles (cheaper than bait)

did you use berley?

Yes I was using bread, that's why I thought I'd give the bread a go as bait and it worked

Thats a couple of nice pigs you got there. don't they pull hard.Wait until you hook an unstoppable, the 5 seconds it takes to blow you away will leave you wanting more. Worth the effort and a nice feed to boot.

I can only imagine what the "unstoppables will feel like" I am totally hooked.
