Crabs and Bream

Plenty of crabs and Black Bream down Mandurah way. Went down with the wife and daughter on saturday to spend the night with friends on the canals.

Arrived at 3.30, on the boat at 4.00 and bagged out on crabs by 5.30. Heaps of smallish ones with some bigguns amongst them. Trolled back to the canals picking up some fresh tailor for bait. After a feed of fresh crabs which were packed tight with meat and a couple or four coldies we retired to the waters edge and proceeded to try for black bream. A couple of rats at first and then the bigger fish came in.

Busted off twice before landing this guy. I'm not usually a bream fisher but pretty happy with a healthy one this size. Easily the biggest I've ever landed. Measured him at 38cm before release.
