The hunt begins
Hey guys
Some of you might have seen my post a few weeks ago about catching my first EP in my local area. Ever since, nearly every lunchtime i have been walking around the banks trying to tempt another, or even see if there is anything else there. however, every trip since has produced donuts, aside from a very small tommy rough/ salmon caught by the kid who works for us. I have spotted a few salmon/yakkas/tailor/big mullet smashing the small bait fish and even had one jump over my line the cheeky bugger. So i was down for my lunchtime fish yesterday and there was a baito fishing on the opposite side to where i was. He was fishing up against structure. I look up at one stage and it looked like he was snagged... tunrs out he is fighting a fish... im watching the whole fight, bout 30-40 seconds when he lifts it up on the bank. silver...looks like a trevally...but its fatter than that...maybe a perch... so i call out to him. ...... Its a bream mate! Unfortunatley for me i went donuts again, but im now set on catching one of these bream i had heard were in the system years ago. I have been fishing on and off for 17 years there and never seen one until yesterday. Im hooked... |

so had another donut today, but after speaking to another forum member, he seems to think that the fish in my area are very tough to crack.
i think ive found a way to get my tinny in there as well... |

High tide would be a good time to find those EP on the surface aswell

s/e of melbourne on WP.
Someone suggested surface, but cant get to areas to fish surface :/ It was really tidal today, couldnt keep a plastic near the bottom, the water seems to swirl in this area badly when the tide is running. Tried a drop bear stiffy vibe but no luck again today. I thought i would have ran into other species ie flatties, salmon, trevally ect but keep getting donuts. Problem is im fishing a small area due to not too many options for lb fishing (fishing during lunch) However the fish are there *bangs head against wall* |
