jaysondanielgraham Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Went for a quick session last night. Took off down to Windang after work got there bout 8pm the wife requested fresh Flathead for dinner tonight. You know what they say happy wife happy life.. After a very slow start with one fish in the first hour things picked up and got 5 in the next. then picked up 3 more in the last hour. Used plastics 3 inch gulp green prawns and 80mm wrigglers with 9grm jigg head 9 keepers in the bag was time to go home and show the wife. I have put my order in for Thai red curry flathead, should be great in this cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slam354 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 To get the bream try using 4 pound braid with 4ib fluro leader with light jig heads ultra light nitro pro heads in the various sizes 1/16 grams or more depending on current.The goal is to be able to throw the required distance using light braid.Use the gulp prawn and the turtleback worms also the bloodworm wriggler 80mm is a good alround size.Go to you tube and search for adam royter bream soft plastic videos.All the info is there mate.By the way are you local to the area.Would like to try there some time if you want some company.Never been down that way how long does it take to drive down there from sydney?.Good luck with the bream,have you tried bait?

elferoz777 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I seem to have luck smashing bream off servo prawns... the cheap stinky ones. Maybe the bream in Windang have higher standards but servo prawns have killed it for me at Bulli... If you ever want to save forty five minutes off your travel try Bulli.

Yeah she likes the fillets for a red curry. She makes the best curry's nice and traditional as her heritage is Camo/Loas.
