Some photos of recent trip to Vic River NT including first metre barra to both of us 101 and 103cm.

        Caught about 35 fish of all sizes over 2 days. 2 fish in the 70's kept the rest were released.

          Other fish in photos are 87 and 90cms.

Wade and I hit the water at 5am and as there was no breeze or swell we decided to trek down to South Point, at the bottom of Groote Eylandt.  When we got down there we were amazed at the numerous bait schools hanging around (although no birds working), particularly as many of the schools were bat fish.

We threw the lures out and straight away mine was taken......I initially thought I was snagged but after a quick check by Wade we realised it was a big fish.  I was hoping it was the elusive Mack as I've been wanting to catch one for ages.  Once again I lucked out as it busted off.  Oh well, better luck next time.  Lure back out again and it took off straight away.  Unfortunately this time it was a shark – and he snapped the bib on the lure.

All of a sudden Wade's lure took off and after a bit of a fight he pulled in a Cod! You bewdy, cant wait to eat that for tea!

We trawled around for a bit longer and just as we were about to pull the lures in for the day as the breeze was starting, my rod started screaming.  Would you believe it, another big Cod!

We then motored up to Connexion Island as some of our mates were fishing there.  On our second drift Wade had just dropped his bait to the bottom when a school of baitfish being smashed by tuna started heading towards our boat. He would up really fast and without time to change his rig, threw out his baitcaster which already had a slice on it.  Sure enough, he was hooked up straight away, although I'm not sure the tuna realised as it kept on swimming with the school!  He had a great time winding it in....

A few more drifts bottom bouncing and we pulled in 4 Tricky Snappers.  We looked to the horizon and saw some rain heading our way so called it a day.  Boat is in the backyard now getting washed by all of this rain (ripper!).

Love living in paradise!

On Sunday, Ben and I competed in the Clamari Classic and ended up with 22 squid, taking out 1st place in the JetSki category.

We couldnt help ourselves, and went back out today. Ended up with 24 squid this time, as well as 8 whiting. We caught the first 15 squid in about 20 minutes and it was realy going off, with multiple squid following up hooked squid on the jigs.

We then decided to head out behind GI as the wind dropped down to under 5knts. We caught 8 whiting, wrasse, flathead, skippy and herring in about 8m of water. We then tried a little closer to the island in a couple meters of water where Benjo hooked this buff bream. Not sure how he didnt get snapped off as he was only using 8lb main line with no leader in pretty reefy country.

Honsu

Tasted great with garlic and butter haha 

The catch..

Looking forward to eating the squid ink marinated whiting too

....because my catch bag was too small! Going out again on Sunday off Dawesville, diving 30m....need a dive buddy, pm me if keen!

Hi All

Went for a flick with a few Hardbodies this moring in the canning trying to entice a flathead or two, No Luck of that front but I did manage to catch a Bluey!!

Not the first time that I have got a crab on a line but it is the first time I got one on a Halco scorpion 35...!!

Went back to grow up a bit - might have been size but no measure so it lives to fight another day.

Pulled him out his hole off the rocks using bream head on a 7/0 gamakatsu occy. mobile fone quality pic

Been fishing the Ord around the Diversion Dam of late. The wild weather has knocked the fish around.....

One week the water temp is up over 28 C then next week its done to 25-26 C as cold water is flowing out of the dam. The early wet is also knocking things around.....

Even the local guru's are struggling.

I got an invite to hit the lower Ord and seeing I was keen to do more exploring I was not going to say no. There was three in my boat and we were following some Wyndham locals in their boat.

Launched at 6am and steamed the 40kms to the lower Ord. It's big distance travel out of Wyndham down Cambridge Gulf.....

After a very windy Saturday we were greeted with calm conditions. Something to relish here as the Cambridge Gulf is notorious for real choppy water generated from competing tides and wind. Tides, this end of town range up to about 9m, and can push hard enough that a 15hp motor will not move forward...... So one uses the tide to travel to conserve fuel and time.

The Kimberley is vast so one has to accept such consessions when chasing Barra but the country is spectacular; that in itself is worth the travel.

Hit the Lower Ord and being the first excursion into unknown country decided to stay around the junction with the Gulf. Needless to say there was very fishy habitat.

Nick scored the only Barra of the day. At 57cm it was a keeper and fell to a Lively mullet lure. Bob scored some Treadies but all released. I skippered all day but still happy with the learning curve offered by the locals.

So much water to explore.........

A few pictures from the day.

Nicks fish, silver and came up well for dinner.

Expansive mudflats but we just missed the runout tide.....

fishy gutters

Big distance travel is required.

Looking forward to the upcoming trips to the Lyn were the big Barra lurk.

I was anchored up just a few metres off Fortescue Island  and decided to throw a nils master into a small school of big fish with my abu garcia/burkley dropshot graphite rod and on first cast, I hooked one. After 10-15 mins of big runs and unbelievable arial displays, I landed the 12.5kg,1.2m Queenfish !! I was stoked!

caught  this  beauty off the rocks :p  lots of  fun, great feed :D  good to  see them hangin around this close.

Packed the boat up and headed up the ck last on friday only to be met by dirty dirty water and a pretty strong NW wind coming thru....

Thought we'd give it a crack anyway and got some live bait, cracked the first (of many) beer, kicked back and enjoy the serenity as you do up here in Broome....Only for a  saltie to pop its head up 3m away from the boat, have a look at us and the bait bucket then disappear and grab my mates lively, come back to surface, smile and cruise off towards the bank with bait in mouth.... Didnt take much to bust him off either as he wasnt stopping.

 Come 5pm and the sun starting doing its thing with an awesome sunset and the wind rapidly dropping to absolutly nothing, then bzzzzzz first run and on..... Nice barra leaping out of the water and going nuts.... Was a great fight and after a few big jumps was landed..

92cm to open the accout for the night.. After a quick few photos it didnt take much for the lively fish to swim away in a hurry 

Reloaded with a fresh mullet, threw it back in next to the snag in the exact same spot.... A couple of beers later and I was holding the rod this time in freespool.... Line slowly starts to peel off and luckily heading out into the middle of the river then pickedup speed and took off... Time to strike I thought and another nice barra headed for the stars in another awesome aerial display... And it was on again in another challenging fight as she turned and headed back for the sticks.... Needless to say the little curado was under the pumped to try and turn her... Came very close but managed to get her back out and more jumps around the boat, then landed... 95cm barra.... Awesome... Then we fished till abut midnight for only 1 sawfish.....

Great night out... Had a quick fish in the morning too but nothing, home by 1030 saturday.. Cheers

Like a good decky, I packed up the boat yesterday arvo and sent Wade off to work his last nightshift.  Woke up this morning, chucked the bait in, made hubby a bacon and egg sanga and waited for him to come home - and then we were off on the 2 min drive to the ramp.  It was chokas (well for Groote Eylandt - about 30 trailers!) as there is a billfish comp on this weekend but although chasing the black marlin was tempting, we though a casual trawl and bottom bounce for a couple of hours sounded much beter!

I have yet to catch a Spaniard so I threw out a deep diver and a new lure (on Wade's recommendation) - a Ritcher Junior Tornado.  After a few minutes we heard zzzzzzzzzz from the rod with the Ritcher on it.  Holy moly, I was getting spooled.  I pulled the rod up and started gaining some line back.  We were excited - whatever was on the end of the line was on the surface and it had all the fighting characteristics of a Mack.  As it got closer excitement turned to dismay when we saw it was a shark a little over 1m.  Worse still, just as I was bringing it closer to the boat the top of the rod snapped. Doh!

I quickly swapped the lure onto another rod and put it out the back to swim along side the deep diver.  5 minutes later line started peeling off again.  Wow! This was a tough fight!  Like the last fight, this fish went to the surface and as it got closer to the boat started to circle it.  Wade was giving me some great advice to ensure I missed hitting the aerials and prop!  I finally pulled it in and realised it wasn't my day to catch a Mack - attached to the deep diver was a 10kg Tuna.  Wasn't sad though - it was a great fight!

We decided it was time for a bottom bash and Wade drove over to a sensational lump he found as we were trawling.

First drop and Wade was on!  We were overjoyed when he pulled up a Tuskfish - our first keeper at Groote! I was so excited I forgot to get photos :-(  As the current was racing, Wade decided to let me fish while he drove to keep me on the spot.  All of a sudden I had a massive hook-up!  It was a Coral Trout and after getting my PB last week, I beat it by 2cm today (55cm trout).  I dropped again and pulled up a second Coral Trout!  With that we decided to call it a day.  Got home, Skipper went for a shower and sleep and #1 Deckie washed the boat and cleaned up!

Another awesome Groote Fishing Adventure!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

I have just been on a trip 2 my Lancelin house again and started trolling kokoda soft plastics down by the leader lights!

Heaps of Tailor have been caught there we realesed 16 and kept 3. The biggest was 38cm!

Catch Ya on the Water!!!

Tom

hi

im offshore on a public computer and logged in to check my fishwrecked but it logged me straight in to another guys fishwrecked account........ hahahahaha might be a good reminder to log out when your on a public computer reece! ;)

cheers,

kane hahahahaha

Wade and I finally hit the water after a bit of a fishing drought......brought about by me as last time we went fishing I was filleting the fish and ignored Wade's advice to fillet with the knife pointing away from me....end result was 2 stitches, hurt pride and never being allowed to fillet fish again!!!

We hit the water at 5am and motored to our favourite spot.  Being a full moon the current was up so we decided to trawl instead of bottom bash.  Wade motored to the top of Bickerton Island in glassy conditions while I monitored the lines.  In 5.5m of water, I heard the magic sound of the reel peeling off, zzzzzzzzzz, and after quickly tightening the drag started pulling our catch in.  There was lots of praise for the skipper after I landed my biggest Coral Trout yet at 52cm.

Happy with our catch and before calling it a day, we threw a few twisties at some bait schools.  Having only caught smaller tuna before (3-5kg), I had some fun pulling in a 6kg tuna - at least this one gave me a fight!

Looking forward to tasting the Coral Trout tonight as I've never eaten it before.  I never ate fish until a month ago when I got hypnotised - worked a treat and am loving eating smoked mackerel!

Yet another great day on Groote! 

The weather was too good to be ignored so I took the day off work and headed to Pakin Atoll for some jigging, low tide casting and trolling.

We can only get to Pakin about four months of the year due to the rough seas over the winter period so with a favourable forecast we headed off. Unfortunately even with the new sounder showing good ground holding fish they didn't respond to jigs. I say jigs because I threw a tonne of metal in their direction and they didn't want a bar of anything. Same same with the casting.

Decided to go for a troll around the atoll and we picked up two wahoo. First one is the first picture. We saw a school and chased that for some smallish skipjack tuna. Unfortunately I lost a brand new richtor skirt to a wahoo hitting the line just before the head. An inch to the right and it would have been a hook-up instead. Didn't even get to land a fish on that one. Sorry Ryan, hopefully the others get some results.

Decided to try jigging again after a completed lap but we got the same result, nadda. Trolled again, three minutes into it we got a double hook-up on wahoo. We brought them in and started to motor off again, 10 seconds into it one of the lures that we left out during the previous fight was hit and hit hard. Eight kilos of dragging was pouring off. Awesome. Landed what is now my PB Hoo at 27lb (I haven't caught that many)- last pic. We ended up with seven wahoo for the day, along with barracuda, rainbow runner and skip jack tuna. Not a bad day off work for sure.

Tim's first dolly at 2010 Billfish Comp

well yesterday wasnt too bad, i was quite surprised as to how much the ambers were fired up. Normally they arnt like that. It was good because it gave me a chance to try out a few new rods that i have just started stocking. I had one of the new daiwa demon bloods and expert far-get rods to put through the paces and my overall opinion of both rods i thought they were quite nice. The expert far-get was pretty much perfect for the job yesterday and i really gave it to it just to see if it could take the punishment. I definately found i was hooking alot more fish on better quality jig yesterday as usual compared to the other guys on the boat using sea rocks ect. i even caught a few fish on the new 11in mcarchy prototype i had.  anyway heres a few pics 

Caught of Ocean Reef in shallow water.
Both on large slabs of squid tube.

Cheers Duffman

ps Leathery was 41cm :)

3 colber with a gidgey off safetybay/warnbro beach just the other night.

all over 43 cm, tasted good for lunch the next day with a bit of lemon and pepper seasoning!

It's been a little while since I've put up a post so I thought I'd share this mornings quick session. Went out with a mate for a quick casting session on the local barrier reefs. First cast and I hardly had half a crank wound and bang a little red bass smashed my popper. I called it for a bigger fish at first due to how hard it went. I was only saying on the way out that I haven't caught a red bass on popper yet: well that is that duck out of the way. We kept moving up the reef and a little while later I nailed a nice little blue-fin trevally. We then moved into one of the passes in the reef and started casting. I noticed that we were drifting over a huge dropoff so I changed to a 80gm jig and within 5 minutes had a solid trout that will be eaten in the very near future. No huge fish but a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

deciced at the last minute today that i was going to head out. It was 10:30am and i had the boat packed and was on my way. I hit the water at 11 and headed out, it was beautiful. 30knts the whole way out. I really just wanted to jig up a heap of ambers and have a bit of fun with them, nothing to serious. I got to the spot and there was fish all over the sounder, Great. First drop came up a nice amber, pretty happy with myself. I kept fishing the ground for the next couple of hours and up came heaps of ambers, i also got into some HUGE skippy with some pushing 5-6kg, it was great because i have never encounted them at that size before. There was another boat fishing the same ground as me, he was dropping bait the whole time and got nothing, i was using jigs and cleaned up. Heres some pics, they are a kinda bad but i did go by myself

Hi All,

Need some advise on a purchase of waeco or other brand fridge/freezer.  Looking for the one with two seperate sections, freezer one side then fridge section other side.  Money isn't a problem.

When we get the new 4x4 it has a plug in the back section for a fridge, adaptor build in. runs when you are driving, and turns off fridge when motor stopped.

Went to BCF in Cockburn shopping complex, didn't have much of a variety of waecos or other brands to look at, in fact the whole store looked like it need stock.

Thanks

Roberta

went out 4 a quick fish  the other week  for start of season bout 2 kick off and picked up these 2 snapper on fresh squid heads

hey all

Well after using the daiwa pirates the other day with great success i was keen as mustad to get out and give them another go, This time the plan for the day was to anchor and burley in the morning for some yellowtail kings then head out to some lumps behind rotto for some pirating and maybe even hit up the amberjack that are hanging around some of my spots. So first off after burlying for a hour all that came up was a nice sized pinkie that the lurcha caught on a drifted mulie. we then decided to head out and hit some lumps not to far away, down with the pirate and first drop up came a nice sized dhuie, we mucked around catching some blackass and smaller dhuies on the pirates then decided to get some ambers, they were quite fussy at first only taking the pirate and better quality jigs, it wasnt untill later in the arvo that they seem to turn on and ended up smacking anything that went down. It was great weather out on the water all day and we didnt get back in till about 5. Hoping to hit two rocks up this week with the pirates again before the ban comes in

Just a few pics of yesterday's (Sunday's) trip, once again we were placcy fishing.

First 3 pics are of a nice 4.5-5kg Baldy I caught after he picked at the plastics 3 or 4 times before i could set the hooks properly, and the last pic is off a smaller Baldy I also caught later in the day.

We had rather sloppy conditions due to a confused 2m sea which made the plastics fishing a little hard but we still managed to catch and release 11 x Dhu's all between 45 - 65cm so no monster's hense no pics but still good fun on pe1.5/2 and the 2 Baldy's which we kept for a feed. Back home by 2pm another great day off the coast of Dongara.

Cheers 

Got to our spot this morning, and I played deckie while my sons and father-in-law fiddled around with stinking bait for an hour and a half, catching sambos/sweep/undersized snapper, and a just sized dhuie. The old man, a dyed-in-the-wool handliner from yesteryear, was becoming frustrated with the newfangled fancy pants young whippersnapper overhead outfit I set him up with and decided to call it quits.

Quick as a flash, I whipped my trusty PE3 weapon out of its sheath and sent a 100gm pink Black Magic (Ranger closing down sale, $10) to the coral below...one jig, two jig, not quite three jig, BAM! The old man never even had a chance to open his gob and give me more crap about not using bait...the little Lemax smashed 14 kilos of prime WA sea beef in record time and all the stinking bait fishos were finally given their come-uppance. They realised they were in the company of greatness and had to snivel the rest of the day away, scraping by with some baldies and snapper just to save face.

More than enough fish for us to take home now, rest of the time will be spent chasing shallow water light tackle stuff.

Hi all! I havent put a decent report up in a while so here goes! Enjoy...

After reading that Oceanside was a having a sale over the long weekend i thought it was time to get a decent rod and reel to use the on the ski. Went in to the shop Friday arvo and was greeted by Shaun who put me onto some gear with great enthusiasm and knowledge. Ended up walking out with the rod/reel, Mcarthy plastics and jigheads and a Yozuri squid jig. Thought i would get a half decent jig after reading some comments on my last post about squid on the ski, and a few members said imagine how many i wouldve caught if i had a decent jig. Travelled down to mandurah later that arvo to stay at my grandparents for a couple nights and headed down to the cut to flick some lures around after dad had caught one the weekend before. With no luck there, we headed to the Jolly Frog jetty after dinner and while dad pulled in some small herring and a thumping KG, i caught 3 decent squid on my new jig. Stoked!

Headed back to the cut in the morning and things were pretty quiet for a few hours, with only a few herring and 1 or 2 fussy salmon swimming past sending me and my little brother into a casting frenzy of lures and new mcarthy plastics without any luck. Not long after the tide turned and started to come in, the salmon started to show a bit more interest and what was only 1 or 2 fish had now turned into a school of about 25 fish. The school was swimming up and down the rocks every 5 or 10mins. Got a few chases but no strike on my rapala xrap, then Dad hooked and lost one using a half a fillet of herring. This happened again a few minutes later and this fish also spat the hooks.

Things went a bit quiet and the salmon started to swim deep so dad let his herring fillet drift to the bottom. He had a couple of "pulls" on his line so started reeling in after he felt a bit of extra weight on the end of his line. Next thing i know he's screaming his head off saying "GET THE SQUID JIGG GET THE JIG!!" and thats when my brother turned to me and all i remember him saying is "Its HUGE!"

In all the mayhem i told dad to keep the bait in the water while the squid was latched to it to give me enough time to put the jig on. I climbed over the rocks and saw this huge squid on the end of the line!! Dad was convinced the squid was hooked on the gangs but i knew otherwise and when he tried to lift it out the water it fell off and thats when i cast the jig in a meter behind and lost the squid in the glare of the sun. Next thing i know the line goes tight and theres ink squirting everywhere. I didnt want to risk the 8lb line snapping so i got my little bro to net it.

Im not sure if i can claim it as my catch but if i do its definately my PB!! What do you guys reckon??

This is the same squid only a couple minutes after putting it in the bucket! Amazing how much they change colour!

After the excitement of the squid, the salmon showed up again and i hooked up on my 2-3kg graphite outfit, 8lb main and 19lb leader, on my lucky Rapala Xrap in ghost white, a lure that claimed 11 salmon this season! After 5mins, the sensible 4kg fish that took the fight out to open water rather then me having to chase it up and down the rocks, was ready to be netted. My bro couldnt reach the water with the net from the rock we were standing on, so the plan was to get a bit closer to the water, and after taking one step to my left, the fish took 2m to the right and the leader touched the rocks and snapped instantly!! MY LUCKY XRAP!!!

I was in a pretty foul mood and wanted to leave straight away and watch the Footy grand final so we left. We went back down there late arvo, and got told by other fishos that 2 salmon had been landed in the last couple of hours. After casting for about half an hour without any luck, i saw a guy fishing from the beach pull a smaller salmon in, probly around 2-3kg, then his mate pull another one in after 5mins, so we made the call that we'd go try off the beach.

We fished about 50m up the beach from the other guys, i was throwing everything out there, slices, richter plugs, roostas.. Everything except mulies! The other guys pulled in 3 more salmon on mulies and we got nothing. You could see the fish swimming around in the swell, coming right in about 5m from the sand! Dad also caught this snook (?) in the arvo on a laser pro.

Dad went back the next day while i was having an arvo kip. I wake up to my phone ringing and its Dad, "HURRY! SALMON EVERYWHERE! HUGE!" *then i hear his mate in the background screaming and yelling in Balinese* so i mumbled that i'd be down in a couple mins and then screamed at my lil bro to move his ass and get in the car. When we got down to the rocks, Dad had just got one 5mins earlier using a mulie.

*Dads balinese mate was yelling and screaming that another school was swimming by just as i took the photo, note Dad looking in that direction!*

So after dealing with alot of fussy schools of salmon, and when i say fussy i mean, hitting them in the head with mulies as they swim past and dont even get a look at, and a handful of chases on the xrap and mcarthy sp's, we ended up with only 1 salmon, 5 squid, KG and a dozen herring.

If you are chasing some late season salmon, i highly reccomend the beach north of the northern groyne at the cut!!

With my lil bro on school holz, and me working on night shift, i decided to take him back down to see if we could luck into some salmon. Coming over the hill as we got to to the beach, we were greeted with glassy conditions and crystal clear water. Got halfway down the dirt track you take towards the rocks we noticed a school of fish just off a reefy ledge so i parked up and noticed they were only buff bream, but Cody got his rod out and started casting a 30g slice just to try jag one for some fun. Then he yelled out that one fish chased his lure and said he think it was a salmon.

The next pic is of the same photo, just zoomed in, and you can see the buff bream hanging around the reef, and the small school of salmon swimming in from top left.

We couldnt get another chase on the lures so we threw out some mulies but the fish still werent interested. I followed the school north about 100m to another reefy ledge where there was also another school of much larger salmon! Out went the mulie under a blob and with the ledge only being about 8m from where i was standing, i could see the salmon start to swim around the mulie, slowly getting closer, kind of egging each other to eat it, but never actually doing so.

I watched a banded sweep start gnawing at the mulie so i pulled it in a bit closer but the bait fell off, then a salmon came straight in and ate it whole! Thought i would never say this, but i think salmon are actually smart fish! I used to think they were ultimate predators, eating everything in there way, but they obviously knew there was a single hook hiding in that mulie, and waited for the bait to fall off before eating it!! I cast out again and they did the same thing, swim around it and wait for the bait to fall off the hook. Thats when i spotted a rather large lump of swell heading right for me so i started to reel in the bait pretty quickly and the blob making a popper effect, attracted a salmon and it chased the bait for about 3m before i realised so i stopped and the salmon took the bait! BANG! Nope, fish was gone, i struck too early!

I have never caught a salmon on bait before, only lures, so it was a totally new experience for me, and one that i couldnt overcome, because the exact same thing happened 3 times after, all fish chasing the float if i reeled in quickly, then taking the mulie when i stopped. By the time i changed tactics and threw a popper on the fish had moved on..

Took Cody out again during week, this time on the ski, hoping to get him onto his first pink snapper. Only managed smaller ones around 25cm and some skippy around the same time. Is it illegal to target snapper during the ban, even if you are catch and releasing and only want the fish for a photo? Cody did manage to catch this nice flounder, and found this shark with its head wedged under some rocks on challenger beach. Anyone able to identify what type of shark it is??

And im going to throw this pic up just to show the versatality of the Panasonic Lumix FT2. Such an awesome camera! *NOTE: Ive had to downgrade the photo quality on all these photos to be able to upload them to the site*

Hope you enjoyed my blab and pics PLZ COMMENT!

Hey crew just a couple of pics of last weekends efforts, went out with the missus and these were the results of our Monday morning plastics session.

First Pic is a nice little Sambo I nailed on my new Certate 2500.

Second pic is off a 6kg Dhu.

Third pic is the missus 8kg Dhu.

Forth pic is off the missus again with a 7kg Dhu.

Fifth Pic is off a nice double hook up of 7kg Dhu's for myself and the missus, we could see these Dhu's swimming mid water so both of us dropped a placcy down and hooked up straight away.... happy days.

We kept 2 Dhus for the day everything else was realeased unharmed great morning to be out on the water.

Cheers

My 2 mates and I tried our luck in this study break this morning (Friday, 1st October) for some bream in the Swan up around Garrett Road and Ascot area.
Using river prawns in the first half hour around 6 bream were caught all ranging from 24-28cm so no monsters but still good fun.
Around 9:30 my rod went off, pulling my rod holder down due to wet, unstable sand, and then dragged my rod a foot across sand to the waters edge before my mate grabbed it.
With an appreciative slap on my mates back I was now fight a very decent fish.
With a good 10 seconds too close too the pylons, Iworked him out after he took a solid 10-15 metres of line.
Saw a nice big flash of bronze out deep. And got him in.

He/She was 43cm and 1.527kg, my pb to date and finally the fishing gods have sent down the holy grail of breamfishing the 40cm+ fish yewh!
My patience finally paying off now just have to move onto lures.

My mate ended up getting a 34cm decent bream that seemed liek and anticlimax after the previous fish :P.

Cheers Duffman
