rjc123 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hi Raiders, Headed out on the yak earlier in the week with the intention of getting a solid bag of bream in a few hours. The snags have been good to me lately so most of the session was spent fishing them... Started out having a flick in a favourite flattie spot. 3 smallish 45cm flatties in as many casts! Still good fun on a 1-2kg rod! Nothing more after this so returned to the target of the day - BREAM. Went to my favourite set of snags and started peppering casts in every likely holding area. Typically the top of the tide had slowed the bream down but i hung around and was rewarded big time. Around an hour after the tide change, my little Z-man Grubz in "Watermellon Red" got smashed right in front of the snag. It was less than a foot deep so straight away got a glimpse of a good fish. Hard work keeping him out from the snag on ultra light tackle but after a few minutes netted a solid Bream of 34cm. A very fat fish for its length! Popped him in the live well and this was Bream #1 for the bag. Next cast straight into a new snag and this time the plastic was smashed on top! Was fishing it on top and letting it sink once it had passed the oyster ledge behind the snag. Was a great visual and got a great little tussle from a 27cm Bream. Popped him in the livewell and he was Bream #2 for the bag. Less than 5 mins later had another sensational surface strike from a 25cm Bream. Bream #3 for the bag! Things started to slow down with only a few undersize bream and choppers hitting the plastic. Moved onto my next set of snags soon after. It took under 5 mins for the next fish to hit the deck. A 26cm Bream which was Bream #4 for the bag! Not long after i reached the target scoring another 25cm Bream and getting that Bream #5 to complete my bag. Was hoping to find a few better fish soon after but things died down and called it a day. Overall a top little session with a couple of good fish caught. Here's the end result, before release. Cheers, Tom Edited January 6, 2013 by mulloway man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Ian You'll love them mate! 1/12 TT jighead is perfect for the grubz in most situations. The 4" swimmerz claim their fair share of jews. Hopefully thats the case this afternoon Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRED-ATOR Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Top Bream Tom : ) Im hoping to get out this week. Might give the z man's a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Top Bream Tom : ) Im hoping to get out this week. Might give the z man's a go Yeah the bream are firing atm. With the z-mans, you need to superglue them onto the jighead (unless you use the TT Headlockz) otherwise they slip down the hook... Definitely my #1 bream plastic at the moment. I think its time i try and crack a few on top water HB's! Heading out chasing EP's and maybe a bass or two later in the week. Need to tick them off the list!
