Breambucket Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Hey guys! Last weekend i went to Mallacoota for a 3 day fishing adventure We pre fished the friday in the pouring rain and at times it was hard to even see where the lure landed but we did find a couple of just legal bream (28cm in vic) a couple of bigger fish which pulled hooks on us and a few feistey salmon that i landed on 3lb leadder Saturday We started 36th and after all the rain they had and reports of fish being hard to come by i decided to try out in the first lake in deeper water. That move paid off for us with getting out 5 fish bag in around 3 hrs then we move into the top lake to try get a couple of upgrades. Straight away that paid off with a nice 34cm black bream comming aboard! things went quiet and after a couple of moves we got one more up grade then went back out deep for the last hour but could only manage 5 or so salmon again After weighing in and meeting the one and only Bushy we came in 25th over all and pretty happy with our fist days result Sunday Things started off well with landing a legal bream on the second cast but that suddenly changed when i pulled hooks on 2 nice fish that one would of been a bloody monster at around the 40 fork mark! The sun came out and the wind went which totally shut down all the fish so we moved into the top lake to try and find s couple of fish to help out bag The only action we had was a couple of decent taylor and a suspected decent jewie i chased with the electric for around 15 min befor he got freedom by cutting my 3lb leadder I noticed a few clouds coming over so we headded back to where we started the day in a hope that the clouds and wind picking up would bring on the fish again. With an hour left i decided to go for broke and chuck out my blades on my 2lb straight through fluro set up which paid off and finally got our bag with 15min to go Back at the weigh in and even with a smaller bag from the first day we still managed to go up to 24th over all out of 78 entrants and beating a few well known teams in the process! Biggest bream of the weekend was this 1.8kg monster black and a beautifull fish to see in the flesh Its a wonderfull place to fish and i cant wait to go back there as soon as possible to catch myself a bloody horse of a bream real soon All of the fish were caught on the one colour blade and I ended up getting all ten fish for the weekend but we both put in the hard yards and its a teams event Thanks for reading guys hopefully i go alright in the grand final in a couple of months time cheers Pete Edited August 24, 2011 by Breambucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Tough weekend by the looks of it Pete Did Neil tell you where and how he and Wayne caught bream down there? I like that colour blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breambucket Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah Wayne caught 8/10 of the bream and all of them on one of my blades but a slightly different colour They mostly fished the top lake but not totally sure where. I'm gettin some molds done real soon so I'll chuck a few your way mate. I'm also getting in some "walk the dog" top water lures that I want to paint up and try so I'll get you to test them for me when the water is a little warmer Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheap charlie Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Caught an episode of ifish filmed at Mallacoota with Bushy showing Paul a thing or to in relation to black bream on blades.Bushy swore by a phantom colored blade in that particular waterway. Bushy landed a number of decent bream on the phantom colored blade, whilst. Paul had little to show using a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breambucket Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Nice work mate...glad your blades worked well...did you chuck any bw wrigglers? Hey mate i chucked them heaps on the friday and a little the other 2 days and not much attention at all other than some flatties and i fished them super light too From what i heard from all the boys if there was one plastic working well it was lobbys but most of the guys up the top landed there fish on blades or hardbodys around the edges Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kadavu Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Sounded like a good weekend despite the weather, how long did the big bream go or did you not manage to get a length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breambucket Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Sounded like a good weekend despite the weather, how long did the big bream go or did you not manage to get a length? i think they said 46 fork length but not totally sure mate i seen him release it and it was massive!

pmak Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pete, You must be pumped doing the comp - especially since you managed to do better than some of the seasoned pros. Doing it with your own hand made lures must also be doubly rewarding. I like the look of your blades - especially since they work so well! pmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well done Pete! Terrific fishing in tough conditions!! Congrats on your placing! That colour on your blade is terrific! Bet you see a few more around that colour now! That is a horse of a bream, eh? Shame your biggies got off! Hate it when that happens!
