Well, this was a bloody surprise. TimVB jigged this up on the weekend. It went bloody hard on PE3 and we were expecting a MUCH larger fish. Tim was very disappointed.....
Dirty Buff Bream I presume, but fought like 10 bastards! If only they took jigs more often....must have been Tim's weed like jig assist......haha.

Cray bait
Looks like you have caught yourself plenty of cray bait there. Was it hooked in the mouth.

yip
They fight like mad. Saw a big school under one of the jetties in the cut. As the herring was slow tried tying a piece of "rock cabbage" to the hook and Wow. A smallish model ate it, and on the light herring flicky it was a blast. After the fight and landing I was very impressed with the power, but couldn't get another on the line.
Another shit fish with power to burn up north is a swordtail catfish. man with that tail they have a fight and a half, and I thought I had a decent black Jew attached.
