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

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!

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!

I've been giving the whiting a bit of a rest and targeting a few squire land based at Amity Point. Only a couple of squire so far but plenty of bream to 37cm. In amongst the bream though this morning there was a nice mulloway. 
I was just floating around a pillie on a set of 3 x 3/0. 
Hope to nail another fish or two over the next few days. 
 
 

What a fish!  Champion

Gotta love it when the bycatch is better than the target species. 😁 
Tasty mulloway burgers for dinner.
