Gday all,

Thought I would say hello and thank you! - Followed a lot of advice I read on here and it has paid off big time!

Its amazing how using the right gear and technique can make a huge difference in your catch.

Always enjoyed fishing growing up but never had any luck, mainly due to the fact I was using wrong line, hooks, rigs, bait and technique!

After picking up some quality gear and following advice, I have been out on the swan catching heaps of Bream on a friends runabout.

Using 10lb braid main line and 12lb mono trace to a No. 2 baitholder with a whole river prawn has been working very well - biggest Bream was 1.2kg (pics up tomorrow). Been catching them from about 5am - 7am close to the Maylands boat launch in the snags - not another fisherman to be seen!

So the bug has bitten and the bank account depleted, Im now trying to convince the wifey that I need a runabout.

Until then Im boat-less and will probably be heading down to Hillarys or other NOR spots to chase something else - keen to catch up with any other members heading out too.

Cheers,

Reece
