queensland "smoked" at Brekky

[dansike]

I went down to Brekky to have a quick flick for Bream after work tonight. I Arrived a bit later than i planned so the water level was lower than I had wanted. Tried all of my favourite rocky outcrops..nothing. Fished all the way from the bridge to around past the pontoon. Just before the sandy patch near the river walk my Atomic Hardz deep diver got smashed about 3 metres from the bank. 4lb braid started peeling off my straddic and I almost dropped my Loomis in the water by the power in this run. I called it for a cod at first, but it went out to deep water and not rocks. There went my cod theory. After 10 mins of gently playing it and a few more good runs I had him close to the edge. Before I got colour, off it went again. This time cutting my 6lb fluro on the rocks. No idea what it was, but it was a nice fish. Oh well Next half hour produced nil. Then I went home.

Bad luck bro..not much more to say apart from S happens :dry:

Bugger, but a good run none the less.

Unlucky mate. Always annoying when you don't see them. At first I thought jewie but could prob just as easily be trevally, catfish or threadie.

[dansike]

didn't feel like a threadie, but then again I dont normally catch them on my bream gear

Sounded like the old Heart juice was pumping

Bugger! Hope u can get back with the heavier gear and nail him... If nothing else just to get your lure back

I tend to use 6-8lb fluoro leader in the river as the breams seem dont care much in the murky water, and I feel more safe if something else got in..

Cheers mate.

dam. sounds crazy, my call would be threaddy!

[madmullet]

bda luck man. tipical, you always loose the good fish

[Jords]

I'm gonna say 1.2m-ish thread

Nah, to save hartbreak, i rekon it was a big smelly catfish!!

[Surfingant]

You get that but at least you had something to get excited about.

[dan25]

I feel ur pain, unlucky mate, sounds like an awesome fish, next time.

Just curious, had you upgraded the hooks on the atomic hardz? Ive found they aren't that strong, snapping on a few occasions when gettin hit hard by bass.

[dansike]

Nah Dan i've never had an issue with them. Really loving them at the moment.

[dan25]

Ok. Yeah there awesome lures though, probably my favourite diver atm.

[RedHerring]

Probably a big flatty lurkin in the shallows.

[dansike]

trust me, it was no flattie

[etran]

unlucky mate but im guessing possibly a threadie?

[RedHerring]

Nice to see some action back in the river for the landbased guys.
