queensland Bullie

[blue_mako]

Took the Bass gear down for a bit of fun yesterday arvo with Jordan. Sent out a live Poddy unweighted about 15cm long and held the rod in free spool. Saw a nice big v shape shoot across the surface with my line in tow. Fed some line out under the pressure of my thumb for a good 10m before I started cranking to pick up the belly and gave it a solid hook set. Straight away I knew it was a Bullie.

He stuck around the surface and went absolutely ballistic on the light string, lots of direction changes. Hooked him about 10m straight out in front, then he ended up about 30m up the back to the left of me... on the other side. Then within about 30seconds under a solid drag he was about 20m down to the right of me on my side of the creek.

Took a few mins on the light gear and I'll be back for a few more. Can't say I've got too many runs like the ones this guy was displaying on this type of gear. Got a few really really bad pics on my phone I'll post.

Another really crappy pic, if you can even see it, it's me holding the shark. Lighting was really bad, just that time of day.

Rob that's the main reason I fish for Bream, they are piss easy .

He was somewhere around 75-80cm Gus, did a rough measurement on my rod before I released him.

Ellicat, wasn't there for too much longer. Ended up with a Cattie and a missed hit afterwards but. Jordan got a few hits and a Pike Eel. All on live Mullet.

Wereworlf, I was using 100lb nylon coated wire and I was targeting them.
