funnierthanu Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Decided to travel up to swansea last night for a fish before going back to work.Arrived there at 4.30 to fish for bream till dark then try for some whiting after the sun goes down. The nor eastern was howling , last week was the southerly when i fished , headed up the channel and fished on the sand bar next to the airport .The tide had just changed so the boat was swing madly from side to side . This is perfect conditions for bream and whiting conditions as the baits drag along the bottom when the boat swings . We managed 20 bream in 2 hours before dark. Funny thing is most of the bream were full of stimulate berly which i didnt use , i dont use berly .Must have been someone elses burly. With night fall came the prawns and then the whiting , every prawn was a fish ,it was none stop till 11 when we called it a night . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keflapod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hey Mr Funny ! Long time no hear from you. Jeez mate - took you two whole hours to bag out on the bream ? You must have been slouching around or something Mate you never disappoint with your catches. And the whiting look like good fish too. Are the fish spawning ? They certainly are in Botany Bay. I got one last week at 47.5cm,. Anyways, mate well done - excellent catch and give us a bell if you're keen on fishing the bay in my boat - just gotta replace that blown wheel bearing from yesterday....

locodave Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I love fishing Swansea. I normally go a little further down from you. I seem to catch when the tides turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
