Amity Point

[Daryl McPhee]

Hi all. I squeezed in a bit more fishing in over at Amity Point over the last week and a bit. While I was not targeting them, there were big bream everywhere with plenty of fish over 35cm, a few over 40cm with Max getting the biggest at a whopping 44cm. These were mostly caught floating down whole pillies with a light lead. There were a couple of squire amongst them. One of my students from West Virginia caught his first ever fish in Australia - an undersized mulloway of about 60cm, following on from my 80cm fish earlier. There were also a few undersized spangled emperor with the biggest being 42cm.

You have to love Amity!  You never know what will come out of the channel there. 

On a recent trip to Straddie my sons and I caught a heap of big bream three days in a row in the surf up against the rocks at Deadmans. All between 35 and 40, but that 44 is an absolute cracker. Well done, Max!

Indeed it does. There is always something surprising. I assumed that the bream must have been fairly widespread around the island. They were pretty big schools that I could see where I was fishing. They certainly made it difficult to catch other things!

That's a whopper of a Bream.  Bet Max was pleased with himself - was it his PB?  I caught a 38.5 ish a couple of years ago and I thought it was a monster then.

Thanks Kat. That his biggest one so far which eclipses the 42 cm fish he got fishing whiting in the Broadwater.

Thats a great bream! Nice work!

I always thought BIG bream will be in plague proportions one day.... given the amount caught that must be released
