queensland amazing 100 bream caught on plastics (pics added)

[pcsolutionman]

well I dont really know where to start. I have just had 2 sessions of fishing wednesday and thursday night that just blew my mind.

It all started tuesday night when I asked nodds if he wanted to give the mooloolah river another crack after we got a few good bream on plastic a few weeks back. he said for sure so we met out there late wednesday afternoon around 5:30pm. The fishing started out very slow and didnt get my first bream until around 6:30 but once i got the first the action didnt stop until after 8:30. I landed 19 bream best going 38cm and all were over the 28cm mark. Me brother wanted to go home at 8:30 so I reluctantly left them biting.

Ive got a few pics of some of the bigger fish I will post from wednesday night when nodds sends me them.

Thursday I decided to head out there again by myself this time so I could fish and fish and fish lol.

I got there around 7Pm after stopping at BCF for a tackle topup.

First cast with a gulp 2\" shrimp and I was smashed but dropped him. a few casts later and I landed the first of the night at 35cm was a great start. Over the next hour I landed 20 more all over 30cm biggest going 43cm. I gave dad a ring and told him I had beaten last nights hall in the first hour :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I got another 20 or so in the next couple of hours all between 28 and 40 cm.

Now this is when the reel fun started I started hearing a lot of splashing around the front of the jetty, a heap of gar around tonight I thought, took a walk down to take a look and what I saw blew my mind.

Now to paint a picture there were bream as far as I could see in front of the jetty (around 40M) and around 200M long, and they were that thick I literally could not see through them.:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: There must have been tens and tens of thousands of them and not a small one amungst them:) a few I ould see would have been around the 2kg mark

They were all circling one another right on the surface and were atacking one another every now and then.

I thought this must have been some sort of mass spawning anybody know??

anyway over the next hour I landed a bream almost every cast, It was well I dont have any words to explain it. anything I chucked at them they just smashed and fought for until one hooked itself:woohoo::woohoo:

This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and spent as much time watching the fish as i did casting at them.

All up I landed 82 bream making a total of 101 for the 2 nights, just unbeleivable.

I didnt have a camera on me as I dont have one yet:( and unfortunatly didnt have anybody to share this amazing time with. I released all the fish bar 5 which I kept for a feed. I just kept a few of the medium sized fish as I like to release the bigger ones, I know how long they take to grow.

I got all the fish on gulp srimps, worms and 3\" powerbait minnow but they were hitting anything that hit the water

here is a pic of the five I kept. The biggest is 38cm

I am going to head out tomorrow night (saturday) for another session I just hope they are still around. anyway Id love to have someone come along for a crack at them (especially if they have a camera lol) or even a newby to plastics that wants to crack a fish.

some photos nodds took in his phone wednesday night

[Bud]

Mate that is awesome...just when you think the waters are getting overfished. Hearing a story like that really makes you feel good about the fish populations in some areas. Would love to hook up with you for a fish but am on a training course all weekend and have got the flu also so am going to have a couple of early ones and save my wrist for all the winding I will be doing on the NOosa charter. Congrats...great post mate.

On the second last photo of your first post(the big one on the ruler), looks like he was bitten on the way in. Just near the bottom of the tail.

[pcsolutionman]

[pcsolutionman]
