Local bream, flatties and pleasant by-catch!

G'day raiders

Headed out early today with Jordan and his brother for a fish for bream in rozelle. Started out getting heaps of nice bream on the marina and some smaller ones in really tight structure

I was using the powerbait crabby and Jordan and his little brother where both using zman grubZ

There where heaps of bream around, then I lost a really nice one in the structure

Moved on towards the fish markets and picked up a few bream and flatties on the way

Then stopped for lunch then, on the way back, walked past so pylons, cast my crabby next to it, first twitch and BOOM! Lucky the fish swims away from the pylons, then the fight begun

After some very sizzling runs and huge head shakes and about 20mins of fight, I land a kingy!! On 6lb leader and 1-2kg gear!!! Awesome fight landbased, I measured the fish next to the rod and when I got home, measured the rod

I couldn't believe my eyes! If the brag mate was right, the fish measured 70cm!!!! After a few pics, he was released

It was a very skinny fish but very long

That was about it for the day, an awesome day

Cheers Gianni

Awesome catch in thr inner city! Is it cool to fish off the marinas or do you have to be stealth?

[thefisherman6784]

Thanks mate well lucky when I hooked it, the fish was a huge dead weight slowly moving away from structure. This is when I predicted a monster flattie or jewwy, but then a blistering run made a king the possibility. I was very lucky to land that fish

Cheers Gianni

Mate, I think that Kingy was more like 72cm. Whatever, well done on 6lb. Takes a bit of luck, yes, but a lot of nerve and skill. That's also born out by the other fish caught that day. It's great to have those magic days. They keep the spirits up when you have days that aren't so good. Hope you catch many more.

[Penguin]

You did very well, congrats

[harold]

Great catch.
