wchh Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Failed to suppress the urge to go for a fishing after finishing the birthday dinner for my son, I got to the beach @ 9:00 pm knowing I had only about one hour for the session. Was it a correct decision! I took only 6 re-frozen pilchards with me and with these I actually landed 5 fish within 6 casts. The fish came home with me is a 43 cm bream, happened to be a PB, exceeding my previous PB by 4 cm. all other fish were released and got home 10 to 11pm.

RexSenior Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's a ripper of a bream on 80lb leader! Gotta be happy with that! What were the other fish caught? Nothing better than sitting down and enjoying a nice monster bream after a fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than sitting down and enjoying a nice monster bream after a fish! First cast, lost the bait without feeling any bite, second cast, the bream, followed by one fish a cast in the next 4 casts in the sequence of salmon, blind shark, shovel nose, salmon. The salmons were about 65cm but at the slim side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexSenior Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 ABCfisho you are a legend! I was half and half about going fishing last night and taking your attitude on board I went out to the local beach despite the howling southerly and cleaned up! I also caught a shovel nose (which I thought in the dark was a nice jew), I've heard they are OK eating - threw mine back but have you tried them?

wchh Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 RexSenior, my condition is called ATF "addicted to fishing " I don't seem to have come across any cure through reading almost all posts on this site. No I have not tried shovel nose but have seen people selling some sort of shark fillets that looked like from shovel nose to me as they are all thin strips.
