rjc123 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hi Raiders, Another opportunity presented itself today so headed down to rosie. There have been a load of yakkas and tailor around so i planned to fish a livie for jews, flathead etc.. And flick a mix of unweighted baits and small SP's for bream and what not.... Started fishing around 3:30, just after the tide change. Caught a few yakkas and sent one out, then first cast on the light tackle resulted in a prawn munching 25cm bream. This pattern of just legal fish continued for the next hour, with the odd tailor and trevally mixed in. At this point, i figured i'd tie on a 2.5" Grubz in Bloodworm colour and have a flick. No hits for the first five mins but then proceeded to land two 31cm fish in a row. Kept persisiting with a big storm looming, and was rewarded big time. The Grubz was smashed and a powerful run parallel to the rocks followed. Originally thinking small jew or big trevally, I got a glimpse of a big bream. A few nervous moments trying to net him but finally did. Measured him up to 37cm. Not a monster but a big bream none the less. My biggest on SP so far... The storm hit soon after but i still left a happy fisherman with a good feed. The fishing is hotting up big time so get out there! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinsoi Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 That sounds like a ripping session you had Tom! Maybe the falling barometer yesterday afternoon with the approaching thunder storm made them come on the bite, well at least this is what I've read but yet to experience Of course and undoubtedly your superior angling skills played the major part!! Congratulations again and I look forward to hearing about more of your PB's being smashed!! All the best Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasskl Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Nice work Tom. I'm hoping to hit that area very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Nice work Tom. I'm hoping to hit that area very soon. If you do focus your efforts late arvo or early morning and into the night. That is if you are looking for the better fish. The smaller bream, tailor and trevally are around most of the day. As a hint, fish light (no sinker or light jig head) and dont cast too far out. Especially with the baits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irongustavius Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Do you guys fish under the bridge or at the marina? Heck of a catch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Do you guys fish under the bridge or at the marina? Heck of a catch too. Yeah i rarely fish the marina... I'm sure there's a few big bream lurking around there but its too hard landbased. I'll have a go from the yak though! Either side of the bridge is the go..

Marinas tend to be where I catch my biggest (still not very big though) bream - I love wrestling them out from the pylons and pontoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if the yakkas have come back. Was there a month ago and couldn't get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, just near the bridge. I'v been getting loads of them on peeled unweighted prawns. Late arvo and dusk i get loads of them. They should be around the wharf by now as well...
