chemfish Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi folks, I dont often get a chance to post on the site as i don't often catch fish. But on Saturday I broke my duck and caught my first ever bream (in fact first ever real fish) on a placcy. It went 40cm and took a 10cm squidgy shad. I caught it in the middle of the day on Botany bay. I can't believe how a fish on a placcy can turn a grown man into a little boy but i was hollering and hooting so loud i think the whole bay would've heard me. I wouldn't have believed that a bream can chew on such a large lure but after seeing the gob on this sucker i am now convinced. I wanted to take a pic but it was put straight onto the bbq at my old folks place and demolished before i got out of the shower. Finally, all the money spent on sp's, jigheads, rods, videos and a new secondhand boat has been justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
