Dave_ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) G'day Raiders, This is a few trips in one as I've been too flat out to post so my apologies. Went to Stockton Breakwall a few times over the last few weeks, all nighter for Jew one night, chased pelagics one day and gave my gun winter Bream spot a run on Sunday. Frigates - There's still a lot of bait in the water but it's tiny. 3-5g metals will do the job but take a bunch. There are Macs and Watsons Leaping Bonnies mixed in and some are quite big (60+cm). They are still hanging around, mostly off the very end. Jew - No luck for me but everyone else seems to be getting them. I was catching bait when my livie got taken when my rod was in the holder. My young fella grabbed it and nearly went in (10-20kg Sensor Surf 13' and Saltist 6500h with a heavy drag hahaha) but another fisho grabbed him and by the time I got there I let him have a crack. About a 10 minute fight resulted in the 60lb leader being shredded. Shattered for the young fella, I held his shirt and another bloke kept weight on the rod butt when the fish ran, he had to have it under his arm because the Sensors have a long butt section and he couldn't reach the reel properly. Big Jew.... Bream - Same spot, same time each year. These are spawning fish so I released anything above 35cm. If you fish light (8lb and 8lb which is ultra light for a Breakwall) and you have fresh bait, it's a fish a cast but they're hard to land. Some are huge and they're super clean fish so we kept a few. Released dozens more. Biggest went 38cm but we've got them to 44cm at this particular spot. Fresh Yakka fillets done the job and are easy to catch on the left just before the end of the wall. I seen a 44cm Bream spit up half a whole Yakka once and that's why I use Yakka fillet here now haha. There were a lot of other bits and pieces too, Jackets, Tailor (not many), silver drummer (juvenile ones), a 42cm Trevally, sharks and eels etc I also attached some pics of my wild set-up for anyone interested. Cheers Edited July 11, 2015 by Dave_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croydon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hi mate, Nice report. That brings back some memories, haven't fished the break wall since I was a teenager in the early 80's. Is there anything left of the wreck? Used to love crawling around that thing, caught some good fish too. Best of luck....... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still get squid and slimies around it in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_ Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks for the report mate Nice rig/setup you got there I need one like that for the beach Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk Yeah, I've thought about a set-up for the beach. Everything points to a quad or one of those polaris 4x4 utility things. That's what I'd use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaClH2OK9 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Thanks for the write up Dave. That's on hell of a trolly set up you have. Any bigger and you could have a bunk in there for the night sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bigger and you could have a bunk in there for the night sessions. Hahaha, it's funny you should say that because my young bloke has slept in in on many occasions. The livie tank is removable so he just throws a blanket in it and he's set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
