Canning Report
hit up the canning today, armed with river prawns. i rocked up just as the water became slack, so i was hoping for a good little session. already rigged up on the train so i could get straight into the action. first drop down i nailed a small bream, 23cm. went quiet for a bit until the water became slack. perfect cast onto a pylon, waited no more than 3 seconds and had line screaming from the reel. forgot to tighten my drag, so i lost him to the pylon. landed another 7 bream, undersized in about the same amount of casts. then went quiet until i had another solid hookup. at this stage, the current had picked up quite a lot. managed to land him, 35cm. very healthy fish. next cast got absolutely smashed by a big bream and shortly after he bricked me. unstoppable haha. some asian bloke using mussels managed to pick up a beautiful 42cm blackie after a long tussel on ultralight gear. put my bream to shame! finished up around 2:30ish when i ran out of bait and headed home. id put photos up, but i cant get them off my phone!
