botany bay morning session again

[sean221]

Went for a quick session this morning. started fishing at 545 finished at 830.

berleyd hard with sand bread tunaoil and string weed.

Was in search of bream, drummer, ludrick.

bait: white bread, string weed.

Used a blackfish rig with 12 lb fc leader, size 8 mustad.

First spot didnt produce any downs what so ever so i moved 100m near some structure and continued to burley.

Love that feeling of striking on a down.

Dropped the first fish due to poor netting skills, and landed one tarwine (340mm), and a bream (380mm) both on bread.

Also missed allot of downs.

Heres some pics!

340 mm tarwine is big fish!

340 mm tarwine is big fish!

It is ay, on first sight thaught of a brea...... Nope its a tarwine! I usually catch small baby ones, but never as big as this before. In future will be letting them swim, both bream and tarwine. Only kept em for the mrs. I was hoping to land a smaller bream for the table but it didnt show up, so its a shame the big girls had to end up on the plate. Im real keen on catch n release.

Looks like a productive morning, although if I made the effort to drag myself out of bed that early I'd feel obligated to stay longer

Any trick to getting the bread to stay on the hook? The last time I tried with bread I found it didn't stay on very long. I tried rolling into a ball as well as flattening it onto the hook.
