Hi guys. Haven't been posting for a while. For a 2 hr pass this morning, so I took 1kg of pillows and went to my usual spot. Fish the change of high tide, burley with 4 pillies and the breams started coming!!! Set up 1 rod, toss it down with float and rig up another one for my son, 10 seconds later. I was looking for my float!!?? Straight away it ran into the rocks!! I'm like Fxxk! Fishing with 6lb line. It breaks! Rig up again and toss it down! Within 5 seconds, while doing up the other rod!! It went again!! I set t hook! It went into the rocks again!! Another line break!! So I said to myself!! I'll fish with one rod instead!!! 

 

Im landing bream like everyw10 minutes! Lost 4, 2 due to line break and 2 lost of hook...

 

totaly 7 fish. All legal. Biggest 36cm. 

 

One last thing!!!! I was told today that fish from east of harbour shouldn't be eatten?? While I hear a lot of people fishing druymmore/ chriswick/ birchgrove etc.

 

please let me know thanks

Good stuff Sam nice to see you are getting some good fish there!

Maybe up the leader if you are getting busted by the big breambos on the rocks.

To be honest mate, probably fine once or twice but would not recommend it at all, thats why the fishing is good west of the bridge because a majority of people C and R. There are a lot of dioxins in the water west of the bridge.
