Went down the Pin to hunt down a huge threadfin that I dropped at the boat last week, couldn’t find any bait for a couple of hours and missed the bite period . By the time I found some bait it was way too late and had to contend with stingrays ,cat fish , sharks and bream . I did have an unusual visitor though , a small wallaby out for a morning dip.
South side Bream 290mm

Hi legends! 
 
Met the all mighty out at mud Monday morning. The cat was on fire in the morning bagging a big snap and grassy and after a quick repositioning I soon landed a nice 49er

41 cm flatty caught after way too long flicking plastics into the wind. There's a few around as I had several good runs, this is the only one that stuck. Its a skinny fish, but I'm hungry and the boys wanted to learn how to fillet a fish. So I'll be hungry still tonight 🤣

That's a cracker bream. I had to do a double take and check I wasn't imagining things... Live bait?

@benno573 is that a spotted grunter? It's a cracker regardless 👍

Hey @Bretto77,  yes mate a livie...
A humble yabbie in less than a metre lol

😂😂😂👍 Good job. I got one a few years back that only just busted the 40 mark on a very small live mullet Under a float in about the same depth. Well done.

No measuring tape today, but it was at least 35cm. seemed to be a few about, I got 3 in an hour. That's an all time record for me!! Still in the mud @ellicatit still stinks. Bad 🤣

I'd drive the length of the Bribie East coast, about a nautical mile or two out. You will likely come across tuna, so have a couple of rods rigged with slugs to throw at them. While you're moving north watch your sounder and you will likely come across sections of coffee rock and/or sharp depth changes with obvious reef on the floor. Try them for a bit of bottom bashing. You may be lucky enough to see some other anchored boats about, that will give you the clue to investigate the bottom nearby.
Eventually you will come to the Blinker at Caloundra. Again, there will likely be other boats testing their luck. There is plenty of ground here to suss out. Some days are better than others here. I've had great days with snapper, grassies, Venus tuskfish, cod, and other reefies. Other days it has been very quiet. Never a guarantee.
The whole trip will take at least an hour each way (@ 20 knots) plus time to chase tuna on your way.
If you take the view that it is an explore day, with a bit of fishing thrown in, it should make future trips better for you.
Late thought - take a Sabiki bait jig with you, as often there are livies hanging around the reef areas. If you find some, drop the jig down, catch some, and then fish there using livies. If you don't find livies, use cuttlefish heads for bait.

Well considering just about everyone for years and years have been throwing them back in disgust as bycatch, it's about time some bigger bream showed up lol. 

That is the biggest bream I've seen posted on AFO in the 18 years I've been on here.

Congrats on the bay snapper Brian !!
69 is a great number 🙂
Damn you, now i have to go find a 70 🤣
