rjc123 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 cracker bream mate! The hawkesbury sure has some monsters! Got my PB 44cm bream there earlier in the year and it was very very fat weighing spot on 2kg. Took a strip of mullet up at milson island. I'd love to connect with a 45+ on 4lb some time. Would be a cracker of a fight! COTM for sure Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still fought like a small school jew though! The SW corner of dangar isl has loads of nice flatties. Always get some there.. Also found loads of whiting around there at times..

Yer, for every 1 bream I catch, I pull up around 10-15 catfish eel. captainpete: They suck on the bait, so you won't know you've got one until you strike or check your bait.
