Top effort Cid and a great report. Hows that poor little chomped bream. Boy they must be tough little buggers. Steve.
Oatley - Ausbream Social 20/8/06
Another social day with 14 boats and only the one yak; me! (Where were you, Dave?) We launched from Oatley Bay and with the boundaries being as far upstream as you wanted to go and the heads of Botany Bay, the power boats scattered to all four points of the compass.
I of course went to the nearest pontoons and a few casts later I had my first keeper in the live well. 32cm fork length and a good start.
I picked up a few smaller ones as I made my way to the Georges and was absolutely creamed by a bruiser that I had no chance of stopping.
I pedalled over to Oyster Bay and picked up my best of the day from under a moored boat on a 6" Sandworm in Camo colour - 37cm fork length or 41cm total and did he kick up a stink when I hooked him. I was lucky to land him too as he scraped the crapola out of the leader on the boat hull trying to get his freedom.
The sandflats produced a few more bream in the 25-27cm range on HB's and I snared my best flattie for a while that went 59cm. Another interesting catch was a bream that had been chomped in the middle of its back when it was younger but was now completely healed and full of fight.
At the weigh-in I thought I had a chance and I just managed to take out top spot by a mere 30 grams! Phew, that was close... The fish of the day, I thought, was a sensational Estuary Perch (EP) caught by Docky that went 46cm fork :shock: . It looked like a mini barra!
As per usual, I've put up a more detailed report on our website.
cheers,
Cid

Another top effort mate. What are the restrictions in relation to the area you can fish. Is there a certain area you cant go past.
