Donkey Bream
Scrapped my plans to go wide and took the dinghy up to Basso for a solo hardbody bream sesh. Launch from Fishmarket ramp and changed things up by heading down river around the Helena rivermouth and scored a fat little rat on my 3rd cast.
Spent the next 90 mins casting into snags, along flats, under reeds and trolled some flats and didn't get so much as a hit and the baitfish were casually floating about with no tide running which is never a good sign.
Decided to head up to my usual ground and there were about 5 crew in kayaks fishing baits and getting no action. Tried a few of my marked spots for nothing so packed up and trolled some flats with the electric motor on the way back and caught a small billy grunter.
Chucked out again and got a snag so stopped to sort it and the snag started peeling line off my little 1000. Knowing I was on flats I knew I could play him with my 6lb line and had a great little battle in front of an audience. I sighted him and thought it may be a PB but he was 1cm short at 37cm.
A quick pic and he went back in much to the surprise of the kayak crew.
