queensland Brissy River Bream Sessions

[dan25]

Hey all

A mate and i took the boat out the other day, first time out in it for a long time. we launched at cribb park in ippy, only 5 minutes away from my house which is pretty sweet, and we set off too kooka, which takes around 1 hour, going slow at times to avoid hitting rocks in the shallow parts of the bremer. We headed straight too a few spots at kooka park, and up around colleges in search of bream for the day.

We caught endless amount of cattys, trying to eventually pull a bream, from a spot that has been good over the past. we only managed 4 bream in total, all of em well over legal size, with the biggest goin 28.5cm to the tip.

Today, I headed out again too the same general areas but tried a few different spots.

Managed 4 bream again, managed a 29 to the tip, and a few 25's. Later on in the day, got a 33.5cm talipia which really pulled hard, and thought it was a good bream at first.

Talipia

The ride home, was something I don't wanna do again, going straight into the wind, with rain pelting straight at us for over an hour.

Cheers

Nice one mate. Btw do u know why some fish miss a part just like the one in the 3rd pic? I caught similar bream like this before.

And are the bullies still around there? Cheers. :side:

[dansike]

what lures did you use Dan?

[Rocket75]

good report Dan, big effort braving the conditions.

The damage to that bream is a farily common injury. Not sure exactly what causes it, but my guess is that it comes from being pulled out of cast nets when they are little? any other guesses?

All fish were just caught on unweighted Worms. Will hopefully head back next weekend, with lures only and give em a crack. The sharks should be there, i think, i could be wrong though.

[Surfingant]

Well done Dan and Dan's mate Great to see a few around there, what did you get them on mate? I think that condition is called saddleback syndrome or something or other, not too sure why they get it and so far I've only seen it in bream.

[Surfingant]

I've really got to learn to type faster :silly:

Bullsharkitis

[sharklady]

nice bream

[Doobsy]

Bullsharkitis

LOL! That's my diagnosis.

Nice session and that release shot is sweet too. Cheers.

Bullsharkitis

Or if they live in raby bay, pikeeeltitus...

seriously, I think its just bite wounds they get when predators have a go at them. I have caught a few where they have bits missing out of their backs, especially the small ones.

nice sesh too mate...

[fishguru5]

I think it is a deformation from pollution. Could be wrong though.

Not a bad session Dan, although the return journey sounds like a bit of a bugger.

Cheers,

Ryan.
