nbdshroom Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Been going to various places in Georges River and Parramatta river over the past couple of weeks. These are a summary of the catches. Been using the new Squidgie wild prawns and I gotta say I sold on them. They catch pretty much everything that swims - no joke. It passes the (bream) litmus test with flying colours so I'm adding these arrows to my quiver. The nearly indestructible Z mans are still going strong as usual. Might try some other lure types soon to broaden my range (like some critter patterns that Bassboy888 suggested in the other thread or that worm type that Ben gave me a while back which I haven't caught anything on yet :/). Things new include getting my first whiting (now 2), crab and luderick (possibly foul hooked but it was between the eyes so I guess he was going for it) on lures! The bigger whiting was only 30 cm but easily a pb for me whilst the blackie was 35 cm (another pb). The blackie was totally unexpected, felt like a 30 cm bream from hook up but then it went up another gear. I actually couldn't pick out what it was, I instantly thought bream on hookup but the fight pattern changed and it started taking more drag than before as it came in close - I knew it couldn't be flathead (as I could feel the bream-like tail fluttering), tailor (as previous) or jew (felt too light). Got a few flathead as well but didn't get pictures as it was nothing to write home about. At least one of the catches appeared to have red spot disease too. All fish were released as usual.
