ARC H Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi RAIDERS Had to head down to Maitland for a dentist appointment and after wards went out of the way a bit to go to stockton breakwall got there and settled down a third of the way out on the harbor side of the wall. I started flicking out a samaki spider prawn bouncing it along the rocks 5 mins of doing this then Bang. Hook was set and i was on to a hard pulling bream came in at a nice 38 and fought awesome. 10 more mins of this and nothing so i swapped over to bait flicked out a lightly weighted pilchard sinking down the rock wall and instantly on to another hard fighting one the fish pulls me right in to the rocks and snaps the line on a oyster rigging back up flicked back down and on again this time in comes a smaller 28cm model over the next 10 mins i get another bream around 30cm this time, also another hook up but rubs me off again all in all was not a bad day GEAR WAS: 1:3 kg rod 2000 size reel 8lb braid with 8lb fluro leader Cheers ARC H PS: was hoping to put a yakka out on another rod couldnt seem to berley them up tho, also the biggest bream looks sick didn't notice at the time should i eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailcraft43 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Good stuff. I wouldn't eat that big bream. it looks diseased or near death. It lacks the healthy brightness of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
