jdanger Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I wanted to try my luck on luderick and fly in the east, but Nick was on a short leash and desperately needed a quick bend in the rod so we opted for an early start in the inner west in between downpours. What's fishing without mates, eh? Despite a negligible tide and fresh dirty water, it wasn't long before we got stuck into bream, flathead, a thin whiting, a legal tailor (my first from here) and a fat salmon. Definitely felt like winter had arrived, with a few less fish than normal but much better quality (bream to 36, with a healthy late-20s average). The sambo went 52cm and gave Nick the fix he needed. On the tackle side of things, z-mans were once again the go-to. I've also decided that fishing plastics on straight fluro is not as bad as some folks reckon. Yes there's more stretch, but I feel the stealth makes up for the slight reduction in casting distance and sensitivity. Not fiddling with leaders is also nice.

luderick -angler Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Nice going there lads. Once the water clears a bit looking to target a few bream on the fly.

Been fishing here since I picked up a rod & it always amazes me how surprised the locals are that there are fish here. Nothing like a salmon on bream gear to draw a crowd though!

luderick -angler Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mate the bream I have found a little tougher but I'm working on them amd some flies I think will work well in shallow water. Quite small size 8 and 6. I'll put a pic up when I finish them. I found bream are more of a dead drift slow twitch technique amd cast to sighted fish or structure with very fine tippet.
