Finally a Bream!
Called up MetallicSharky this morning and tried to suss out where he was going, he said he was going out on a boat with his mate...
anyway 10 mins later i got a msg saying plans had changed cos they lost the keys to the boat and he was just going down to this island in the river
So I went to tee up to meet with him and his mate and I got to ashfield and like, they were nowhere to be found... rang him up and the phone cut out mid conversation and then his phone must have gone out of range or something so I thought the bastids had ditched me! So I texted him and he said they were just ducking out to get more bait.. i thought it was all bullcrap so I just stayed and fished by myself....
Chucked an unweighted jellybean styled prawn out and within seconds of it drifting to the bottom, I was hooked up.... bream ran for a snag, i tightened my drag (because it was 10lb line due to my rack raider snapping on the weekend i was using my daiwa cy and tierra with just a light 6lb flurocarbon leader) and yeah then it started to go the opposite direction for a tree stump then I pulled it in....
FINALLY, IVE LANDED A FISH IN 2 WEEKS OF RIVER FISHING TRYING TO GET THE BASTIDS!
Was a very clean approx 23cm bream.... very silver in colour? Thort that was strange...
Anyway, pulled 2 more tiny buggers in, like fishtank material and this boat rocks up... guess who!
Metallicsharky! hahah found his keys... so much for the fish though, I think thier boat engine spooked them...
I had a few more big tugs but didnt manage to land them and that was it for the day...
but im still happy, thanks sharky for sharing the spot... :) Much appreciated!

hahahah yeah, dont worry
hahahah yeah, dont worry about them... so the bream around all year around at burswood? Hmm nice...
I dont think im 100% sure where you are going, id have to spin down there maybe tomorow or whenever I can and look for the bbq and play equipment...
t boned eh, ouch bad luck champ... i can always swing by and pick you up when we tee up a fishing session....
Man, im hooked.. I wanna pull some horses out of there! But yeah, is it me or do the bream just flock to prawns more than the SP's?
I noticed today when I was at the river when it was a bit dead, I would twitch the jellybean bait and the bream would strike so heh, SO i gather once you know bream are there, SP's or HB's all would work heh...
Cant wait to land one on sp's

Cheers Rickets!!
Yeah the Bream are there all year round mate, they won't move to far if they are not at one spot move up or down the river and I'm pretty sure you'll find them.
Using the jelly bean theory is a absolute dynomite way to get array sizes of Bream. But when you use softies and hardbodies you'll be exactly hooked.

phones suck
sorry about the run around mate, was not bullshit, if anyone knows around that way there isnt a lot of places to get a pack of river prawns. On the way to picking them up the keys were found. As for the phone, we all know how good they can be at times, well done on your catch its all go for you now
