queensland Manly harbour

[Keen-as-fisho]

Fished Manly harbour yesterday and today, chassing bream and to practise skip casting against the moorings and boats without chipping to much gellcoat :blush: Reckon I whent pretty good :laugh: . Met up with rob316 and he showed me some of his spots within the harbour and good hb colours to try out. Unfortunatly the hb's didn't work for me all weekend so I stuck with the softies alternating with 3 inch minnows and 2 inch shrimps.

Yesterday morning got off to a good start landing a 29cm fork length bream on a 40mm bubble pop. I then got a 34.5cm squire on the string, 2lb main and 4lb leader followed by a couple more bream ranging between 25 and 30cm to the fork. Last fish boated was a flounder.

Today I had the live well on the back, with the intention to do a mock event, 3 bream and upgrade as time goes on. Anyway it was a slow day with only two legals caught 1 at 26cm fork and the other at 28.5 fork. Plenty of small bream, squire, trevally and the ever frequent pike.

Next trip there will have to be when there is a high tide at 8am ish. Not a fan of a morning low tide when fishing canals/ mariners.

There are some brutes in there, bit too switched on to fall for your berkleys.

looks like you had a lot of fun, well done

[kreel]

Den come back to dry land mate, you'll grow fins with the amount of time you're spending on the water. Nice effort though, you should be in with a good chance in any of the comps with the consistency you're showing - keep it up.

[tacklebox]

lucky that squire was undersized. we wouldn't want you to have to eat any more snapper!

[Keen-as-fisho]

To be honest, I've eaten so much of it lately, I'm not fussed anymore. Still going to chase them however

[Dell]

[plugga]

well done, awesome fish! will be there next time!

I had a run into the bay and got nailed by pike.....fookin pike!

[dog pound]

Great post mate , like the way you have the yak set up.

[rob316]

Den didn't need any of my suggestions - he was doing well with his own ideas - but maybe he needed me to close my trap - as every time he hooked up and I was talking , he would lose a fish !!!...some pike , small bream and cod for my efforts , only a short fishing time frame is my excuse...

[thousandyards]

nice work.....some of those breambo's are fat as!!

[Keen-as-fisho]

Thats a very nice looking cod, is that the one that went 30?

[Do$tylz]

nice one Dennis. Looks like a beaut day to be out on the yak.

Can't wait to get home to and get my fish on after seeing this.

[rob316]

yeah mate , looks bigger in the pic , or smaller...depends how much you squint !!

But like I said that day - lovely healthy looking specimen...
