Yowie Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Not big as you said, but that does not matter, plenty of them, makes for an entertaining outing. Enough if a few needed for a feed. The last bream has a good chew mark on the top side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sydney Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 How stoked to keep catching on so many different lures ! Were you challenging yourself or something ? It takes a while for me to change lures if I’m getting bites ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) I had 5 rods with me. I fished in 6 metres of water for 2 bream. Trolled a hard body and slow rolled a 1/2 oz with a paddle tail. The rest came from a couple of centimetres to about 1.2 meters along tree and Mangrove banks. Yes. Size wasn't there But the fun was. The first photo is of a bream with a 50m/m lure in its mouth. A small bream. But I skipped a cast in under the trees right up against the bank, the hit was instant! Perfectly executed. Im happy !! The Bridge was a stop off along the way. My main objective was to fish a creek up the back of a sandy bay. Bream Bass Mangrove Jack. ( Ha who am I kidding ). Exploring a new area!

Green Hornet Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The quality might’nt be there but the quantity sure is, so still a successful day. Did you give the reverse prawn a flick? I’m keen to see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Flick Prawn Failed. Didn't flick. The above photos have it rigged weedless head first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Great report - I’d be interested in your response to the action of the flick prawn - I’ve tried it with disappointing results, but don’t know if it my ignorant application?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Pickles,; My flick prawn was an experiment Rigging a prawn weedless and backwards with the tow point halfway down the back to see if the tail would flick under when hopped backwards. It failed No action as hoped for. The same prawn rigged head first on a Weedless weighted hook caught some of the flathead above. Zman prawnz. I use a few prawn imitations, but I rig them myself. that way I can choose the hook size and weight. The MMD soft prawn is a favourite in the light weight. Like a jelly prawn. Like in the first photo. Also the Holt swim prawn. But not weedless. Hopped or very slow rolled. And lets not forget the Daiwa Risky Critter ! Hidden weight system or weedless. Ok better stop now !

Wish they were more common. Also Estuary cod I have never caught in the Hastings ! A friend of mine and his wife have both caught a Cobia in the river since Christmas.

I haven't caught a Hastings cod either which is surprising I'm still dreaming of an estuary (or any) cobia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
