Breambucket Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Hey guys hit up Botany sunday mid day to arvo with my mate Trent befor we went out to dinner with a few mates that night. We started off at towra first drift for nothing other than a couple of pike then decided to move in real shallow to chuck hard bodys and weightless plastics First cast with the hardbody and i was on to my first of the season hardbody bream Then for the next hour and a half we basically landed a fish every 2nd to 3rd cast with a few bream and a heap of pike thrown into the mix. the best bit was that i actually caught fish on 12 different lures! Squidgy - wrigglers, lobbys, critters, flick baits, bugs, Powerbait - gurbs, bass minnows,and hawgs Scumline - amphibians and ripjerks My own blades and the Atomic HB in the first pic Heres a pic of fish released after our second drift... And a couple of trevs on a double hook up we had both went 41-42cm There were a few bust offs from larger fish and trent lost a flattie that would of gone mid to high 60's easy So all in all not a bad sneaky sunday arvo fish with 25 or so tevs between 33-42cm,5 bream between 25-33cm a heap of pike and a couple of whiting We only kept a couple of bream and trevs for trents mate but the rest were released Thanks for reading guys Cheers Pete Edited October 10, 2011 by Breambucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Topic is a little bit sarcastic compaired to some days especially when the bream are on but it still was a very frustrating day missed alot of fish hooks didnt like sticking at all ! After working the way they were bighting we would strike then high stick the rod and reel in really fast untill the hooks set. We went well on the flatties the other week but we tried heavier weed this time basically just trying to find Bream but bycatch is very welcome Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never really targeted the bream and travs in the weedy patches with lures but will give them a go now after seeing your many post! Watch out for me on the weekend invading your patch!

Formosan Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice going BB, That's a hot session. You must be pretty handy with the lures. Sunday mid arvo was kinda windy and you still did alright. So far I can only manage a few flattties on SP and not consistantly. Have to try shallow water and Towra soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice Pete The bream should fire up there on the next new moon Water must be cold still if your getting pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmak Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Pete, Great 'slow' day action. Good to see the bream have shown up and looks like you found a good school of trevally. When they're in a feeding mood, they'll take virtually anything and are probably beating bream to the lure. I enjoy targeting them actually! You're not wrong with the weather - hopefully we really get our spring weather in the next couple of weeks ... pmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 WELL done Pete yet again.... SLOW DAY "landed a fish every 2nd to 3rd cast" .. Thats not a slow day... Id be happy with that...

Nice Pete The bream should fire up there on the next new moon Water must be cold still if your getting pike Hey Andrew! the water was 18-20 degrees depending where in the bay i was hopefully the pike piss off soon I hope the bream are around in the basin in a couple of weeks i got the squidgy final on and apparently it has been super slow down there Pete, Great 'slow' day action.

Cheers Trung Hey mate ill be out there on friday soo ill take most of the fish but leave some for you But Seriously its anyones water, i have confidence in catching fish (which does not always work out) but if someone is in a spot that i wanted to try i just go somewhere else, theres a few good places more towards kernell and in the channel between captian cook bridge and ramsgate which is where we found the fish a couple of weeks ago Post a report up of how you go mate Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadavu Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Awsome catch shame on the flattie though good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.kenny Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I hope my next session at Towra is as slow as your sessions are Pete . The trevs must have been good fun on light gear. Looks like the water is slowly warming, I can't wait for it to warm up and the surface bite starts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
