Bream fishing - ourimbah creek

[Toby_fisho]

So this day began like the others. Wake up at 4:00, pack my gear and head up begin the carry the kayaks down the street. Get to the water and begin paddling toward Chittaway Point. Within the first cast I was hooked up to a fish, running me all over the place, and finally into the kayak  - 29cm. Then my mate Ryan casts right up against a rock wall underneath a small jetty lined with pilons. Me, being 50 metres away, hear him yell to me “It’s a good fish!”, so I paddle down towards him and he pulls out a 39 cm fish, which  not only took him around the pilons but nearly busted him of on the barnacle covered rocks. Very lucky! So we commence on down the creek catching a few 25 - 28 cm fish when I fish the very last jetty, it had a sand bank the cane right out and dropped of right where the pilons were, perfect bream territory. I flick my grub right next to the pylon and without a hit my reels starts screaming and a good fish has just taken off. I hold the spool so it can’t dust me off on a pylon and slowly I drag it out past the pylons and it does it’s typical bream run, down deep and short hard runs towards the bottom. I get it up and without a net I grab it ever so slightly and put it in the kayak. I grab my measuring ruler and it pushes 36 cm to the tip. A great fish and great fight! 

It was a great day on the water with 12 bream all up from myself and my mate Ryan.  It’s a lovely time of the day paddling over when the suns rising, and even better to catch some good bream!

Great read and a couple of good bream in your session, getting out on the water before dawn & watching the sun rise & a great way to start the day, you guys will be up scaling your PB’s in no time with dedication like that

[Toby_fisho]

Thanks @masterfisho7 and @61 crusher. I hope I will upgrade soon! But any fish over 30 is normally a fish I’m happy with. As long as I get a 1  fish  at least 35 each session I’m content for the effort to fish!

Great report and very well written Toby!

Blackfish slow at my end of the lake but better than two weeks ago. 

Enjoy the rest of the break.

Thank you @kingie chaser @lakelad And @LuckyFil. I was getting my fish on zman grubz in motor oil @LuckyFil.

[kingie chaser]

Thanks for the tip Toby, I might have to grab some & give them a flick 👍

Ive actually just bought 2 Atomic hardz bream cranks & havent even tried them yet but looking forward to the next trip to give them a shot.

Tight lines 😊

I also meant to say  that's just rewards for getting up at 4am. It's a great time to be fishing but sometimes hard to do it😬

[Toby_fisho]

No problem @kingie chaserhope you get some. @LuckyFil it sure is hard to get up when it’s that early, but you definitely reap the rewards later.

Awesome report mate well done. You and your mate are certainly learning the finest arts of bream fishing. Cheers R&B
