queensland trevally on soft plastic at hawthorne 18/4

[fishinking]

hey guys went for a soft plastic fish at hawthorne on the rockwall next to my house. after a few minutes and a few hits on a 3" powerbait minnow i got onto a fish that was really fast and had alot of headshakes. instinctively i thought it was a bream by its headshakes and runs but then realised how fast it was kicking and to my surprised pulled up a little trevally. i had never seen a trevally caught in the river especially this far down, i was stoked. Then after a few more minutes managed to land my first bream on soft plastics which was very fat and went about 34cm.

heres the trevally

thanks guys, yeah i reckon the bream would have gone close to 1kg, it was bloody fat.

[paulymassy]

nice fish !

[dhess]

Nice going mate. Funnily enough I saw something smashing up bait from my balcony pretty much straight across the river from Hawthorne at Teneriffe. Would have been about 2pm. Didn't get get a good look at it but probably the same trevs that you got into.

Went for a stroll down the boardwalk in the arvo and a guy and his missus were catching some nice bream down near the powerhouse.

Nice one mate. Nabs got a good trev a lot bigger all the way up there once but you certainly dont see many of them!

Good work.

actually i was using a powerbait 3" as well now i think of it, when i got my lil trev, my color of choice is olive and works well for me on squire , bream , flathead , tailor and the odd cod

[Bluevien]

Great work on the SPs. It gives me hope!! Great pics, thanks.

[paulymassy]
