More Bream in the Swan
Having nothing to do in the arvo after church, decided to go and wet a line. So I brought my housemate (who doesn't fish at all, but loves to eat fish), up river of the swan. Got there at about 1700hrs and set up shop. Pretty quiet for the first hour with a few tugs and 1 undersized (24cm) black bream being pulled up. We moved away from the jetty as a bunch of kids were making a nuisance of themselves by being really noisy and jetty jumping into the water. My housemate hooked up a black bream (23cm) from the bank of the river, his first bream caught.
The kids then cleared the jetty and I decided to go back on there and cast along the walk way nearer the bank of the river. First cast and waited. BAM!!! Something took off and I pulled it in, a 30cm black bream. Sweet! A keeper! My housemate then went to the spot I was at and cast in the same direction and BAM! another 28cm black bream was pulled up. After that, we fished around that spot but all went quiet.
So I concluded that the bigger bream don't tug and test the bait but they just take the whole thing and run. Not sure if this is true but seems to be, or maybe it's just because of the bait that I used. Cos I switched halfway.
Was a good day out eventually with 2 fresh fish for tea.
We smeared 1 with teriyaki sauce and the other with tom yum paste and chucked them in the oven for about 12 minutes. Yummy!
