Hi Ausfishers!
What a wimp :smash: I ring the Mighty Whitey ( he should change his name to "Mary") .... to see if he wanted to come & have a fish today! ........ No , He was too tired:gorgeous: ....... Well he missed out on another good session!:D
So , With no crew I decided to leave the atomic powered bream in the toxic waste dump alone .... & do a little prospecting in my local waters around Botany bay!
On the water around 1pm , I decided to take a look at the Eastern Side of Woolooware Bay while I still had a bit of a tide - This area drains dry!!!! . Well , have I found a great spot to fish in summer..... with poppers!!!:P This place is most definitely a mine field .... lots of Oyster encrusted rocks surrounded by huge yabby beds ..... with some pockets of weed 30276 _ Oh yeh , & a bucket load of big bream ....... You should have seen them ! So in a nut shell & 4 -SX40s later ...... I was unable to turn a fish before they had me cut off! ....... I was even using the Miss Stella which was having its first outing after being respooled with 8lb Fireline Crystal ( :thumbsup: Thanks Pete {Pistol_P} for the recommendation ..... no wind knots :) , so I might drop down to 6lb) - In the 2 hours that I fished this area , I felt that this must be what flats fishing for bone fish would be like ....... 2 feet of water , drifting along ...... spooking many bream , not accepting most presentations ....... & then you get a hook up ...... & its over in seconds! ........ The SX40 was the only lure / SP they were interested in ...... & only fished dead!!!! ( The poppers were at home:'( )
Anyhow ...... This place will definitely be revisited on a bigger tide! ...... Tough fishing in bright clear conditions but .... Whooo Hoo!
So after a bit of a feed & no water (tide) , I thought a little more prospecting was called for ! Destination - the Woronora River 30279...... Which I've poaked my nose into once before , but the tide rips through there! ........ So with a 10 min run , I've entered the Wonny on pretty well the bottom of the tide ( the western bank is quite deep at around 2 M .... up tight against the carved out edge) ....... I start to cast towards the rock walls , boulders & man made structure ....... with pretty well instant success - bream after bream were hitting on the lightly weighted Squidgy lobby (Wasabi & Dusk)....... Not big fish , but plenty of action:) 30277 30278 I stopped counting bream / flatties & started counting packets of Squidgys::)
A bit of a chat with a guy who was preparing his little CC ..... at his winch on private boat ramp / boat shed ...... waterfront property :P he was blown away that you could catch bream there!!!!
I kept fishing into the night ...... but aside from catching the fish of the day ,,,,, 30280 The fish were small30281 & the flatones thick as !!! ..... Being dark as it was , I found myself casting onto the rocks ...... & snagging up :'( A couple of times that I moved in close to the rocks to de snagg , I'd spook bream that were feeding on the oysters ........ Arrrgghhh
Well it got to a point where I was freezing my butt off ...... busted off my two placcy outfits + I hate fishing heavy anyhow - - 3 grams was flying with a tide that was running at 4 knots .......................... THAT'S IT
A most interesting day .... with changes in the weather (overcast- sunny - threatening - windy - calm ...... hell I thought I was in Melbourne!! ) + changes in my fishing fortunes ! ...... 2008 continues to be a great winters breamin!!!!!!!8-)
