dnmn8r Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I've been going out every weekend since the social trying to put plastics to the test, and yesterday I finally had some success! Launched off at Gray's Point at around 1pm, right around low tide, and went towards lilli pilli. Put on a z-man 2.5" grub in the motor-oil on a 1/16th head on some 4lb fluoro leader, and rubbed it all with some s-factor. Cast near the shore, jerked, LONG pause and then BANG. Nothing huge by the standards I've seen here, but this is my first legal fish on plastics so I'm pretty happy. Also accidentally caught this Trevally on a Sabiki rig with the tiniest bit of prawn on one of the hooks. Was a fun fight since that reel is half broken, but it came out at 31cm so it went on the table. Good to finally pick-up some legal fish (though the rest of the day's catch was frustrating little pinkies), hopefully will go out again in this morning's high tide to try and pick up another few to feed the family tonight.

fat_souvlaki Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Well done mate, I had my obsession for about a month to tempt a bream on plastics but gave up! Trusty flatties for a feed every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Congrats on the legal bream with the SPs man, that's one more than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmn8r Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Cheers guys, hopefully will have more success to report in the future. Funny thing is I've always been told to fish for bream on a high tide, and the first time I get one was on a low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtBundy Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have been told various theories. Last night I got one on the beach on high tide, my dad's mantra is no run no fun, and others I have heard are they like moving in on an incoming tide. I think the best bet is to go when I am not, as they seem to be absent then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I fish landbased, I seem them 40-50 meters out of casting range. Whenever I fish off the boat, they're no where to be seen XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
