Breamin the passage

[beefaman]

On Saturday, ventured up to Caloundra to go wading with Mike and Ken from the fishraider site. We out on Ecogear SX 40F Lures and started casting around a location where we have been nailing heaps of quality bream. Mike hooked up first , followed by Ken and then myself. Fish were then being constantly caught, this continued for nearly two hours, and it didnt matter what lures we used, be it HB's or SP's. We landed 21 bream for the session, with the smallest 27 and biggest 38cm. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Great day in great conditions ;D SP lures used to catch fish were: 3" Berkley Power Minnow (Rainbow), 2" Gulp minnow grub ( pumpkinseed and red) and Ecogear Mini Tank (Pumpkinseed)

Ken with a nice passage "chromey"

[beefaman]

No one gets my hat...and I mean no one [smiley=beadyeyes.gif] ::)

[Hutcho]

That "chromey" is a fine bream. What sort of lure has it got in its gob?

[beefaman]

It is an Ecogear Sx 40F...great bream lure, great action which is nice and tight.

[Brenno]

make me want to get out more often.

Beefa,
Nice work mate, just love those pics. I still think you should've used Paintshop Pro to distort the background colour of your hat! :-X :P :-/ ;) But seriously some really nice fish there. Aren't they great fun on the HBs?
Hutcho, do yourself a favour get yourself a couple. They are bloody expensive but have consistantly produced the goods.

Totally agree about the lures Herby....you just wait til I get a pic of your poofy purple shorts you wear :-X

[beefaman]

I will be heading up again this weekend to see if they are still around....they should be though..Wohoooo!!!

[flathead_fred]

hey that last bream is over a kilo i reckon, fantasic effort guys, i bet you got a few weird looks from the old timers, one cos you were gettin quality like that throught the day............and two not a hardy head a mullet strip in sight (gun bait for bream in the passage). im very impressed. you were wading hey, so those big bream came from the flats, in the middle of the day, even more impressive.

regard,
mike

[beefaman]

Yup, just wading on flats, casting at Eddies etc.
We have got numerous 40 + fish now, and they should be around for a while yet [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

[Hutcho]

you heading out there again this weekend Beefa? I imagine they would be around in even greater numbers during the night on the flats. Ballsy man to be wading out there then though......!!

hutcho.
PS. Where do you buy Ecogear lures? My normal tackle guy didn't have any in stock.

[Hookem_Herby]

Hutcho,
I had the same problems finding them at first.
I went to 4 tackle shops before eventually letting my fingers do the walking! ;)
The Tackle Warehouse at Cooparoo has them but are charging $18.95. :o You can get them for a few $$$ at the tackle store in Caloundra. From memory he only charges $16.50

Cheers,
Herby

[beefaman]

As long as the tide is low enough, I would wade out there at night, it really is quite shallow to get out there, only one deeper bit....thats when I will send Herby first [smiley=stupid.gif]

[Hookem_Herby]

Beefa,
You know [smiley=iloveyou.gif] but I'm drawing the line here!
[smiley=stop.gif] You seen the size of the stingrays that inhabit that area!!! :o
If it was night time you and I would be flipping a coin as to who was going first [smiley=argue.gif] Durimg the day your pink hat should do the trick and scare them off ok! :P [smiley=speechless.gif]

See you out there on the w.e mate. ;)
