Went for a fish down at my local stretch of the bremmer with the idea of catching a few mullet on bread to use down the coast as bait tomorrow. As I havent caught a bass in this area since the new season opened I wasn't expecting to catch any but as I had to go past where I caught plenty last seasonto get to the mullet hole I thought just a couple of casts before I chase the mullet. Second cast and bang a solid hookup to my first bremer bass for the season.

I had a couple more casts with hard bodies with no more action. I decided to have a crack at a berkley gulp I bought the other day with the idea of using them at colledges out of the canoe.The first cast produced my

2nd bremmer new season bass.

I was happy the gulp worked. Had a few more casts with no further sucess so of to try and do the job at hand. So i headed over to try for some mullet they were a bit slow today I only managed 4 but they should do well for bait.

I also managed to rid the river of these vermin while fishing for mullet.

At one stage I left the mullet line in and put a beetle spin on with one of the gulps and walked over to another spot about 15m away and had a few casts. I had a huge hit and a hell of a first run I thought this one is going to be huge. As I eventually got controll of the situation I thoiught this thing is fighting strange the line would slice side to side in the water about 50cm each way. I know what this is a big eel sure enough up comes an eel around 3.5ft long and a good 2.5inches across he still had quite a bit of fight left in him so I let him run on my 6lb line a bit longer till i was sure he was beet. I had left my phone in my back pack over near the mullet rod so I couldn't get a photo of him in the water. I was fishing of a 3ft ledge the same spot I landed a 55cm bass from last season but him I was able to lay down and lip grip him to land no bl**dy way I was going to put my finger in this buggers mouth so I grabbed the 10ld leader to try to lift him he had one last attempt at tieing himself in a not as i lifted and it was all over. I realy wanted to get a picture of him as i havent caught an eel on lure for about 15yrs.

Oh well I will have another go at him sometime soon.
