9 hours of fishing
Started at about 5 in the arvo at RFBYC jetty hoping to hook up some bream with my new bought baby vibe. first cast and got a small tailor. decided to stay and try for mulloway, but there wasn't anymore actions after that small tailor. no squid, no tailor. therefore, no bait for mulloway. so met up with a friend at the narrows. it was rather quiet but started to get some small tailors (in the 20+cm range). and then i got one that took some line. landed it and measured up. it was a 40cm tailor! my PB.
then after that the fish went pretty thin. i lost all my metals cos my line snapped. think i need to get some new braids already. So i put on my Rapala minnow. first cast and i caught my first bream on a lure, and also my first bream from the narrows. I wasn't expecting that at all. the bream went 33cm, 3cm shy of my PB
my friend caught a 32cm tailor towards the end of out session. we also brought up a big blue manna using both our rods like a chopstick. it was just sitting near the shore on the bottom and my friend wanted to get that but didn't have a scoop. no picture of the crab though.
one weird thing happened when i first got to the narrows though. this guy beside me caught a small eagle ray on his twisty!

Sounds like a few 'firsts' occurred over the session - congrats.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Congrats on the PB's. Chop
Congrats on the PB's.
Chop stick caught Bluey - now that is a first!
Saw a bait ball getting smashed up by tailor against the rock wall midway along Langely Park this morning whilst riding to work - had to stop, was a great sight. Hmm, might have to sort a small flick stick for the bike.

sounds like you had some fun. well done on the pb tailor.with so many fish being caught in the swan it shows that the river system is in reasonable shape. never seen a ray caught so far up tho.

I've seen an eagle ray with at least 20m wingspan in canning bridge during the lowest of low tide last summer before. It was just cruising along upriver

Further proof of the effectiveness of a Twisty
Bloody things catch everything. A twisty used as a bottom jig also works a treat, and the NW snappers, cods, trout take them with gusto. No space age jigs needed, just a twisty.
