swan/canning fishing
hi guys
went out with a few mates on sunday to canning bridge. nothing much to report but my mate got a small bream on a switchblade.
apart from that just blowies, we saw heaps of fish: grunter,whiting, we think a few tailor and a few small bream.
so with not much success there we walked up to the scouts jetty. again nothing to report.
With us all wanting to catch a fish we walked to rookwood jetty.
as we were crossing the bridge we saw about 200 medium tarwhine.
so we raced down the steps and started chucking lures at them but they werent hungry.
when we arrived at rookwood we all had a few casts with nothing biting
Then we tried all around the rock walls around there with a few follow ups but no hook ups.
we had 10 minutes left so we decided to go back to rookwood
on my first cast i got hooked up to something big, went for a short run directly away from me pulling line at a rapid pace, then went for a even bigger run up towards the end of the jetty and snapped my 9lb line.
was using a soft vib the whole time
Any ideas of what the fish could be?
i think it was either a big bream or a small mulloway

Could have been a mulloway
They tend to have a few strong runs.

Hey mate, Where is
Hey mate,
Where is rookwood?
Flatties still seem to be hanging around the canning

rookwood st is between
rookwood st is between canning bridge and deepwater point in mount pleasant. there is a small jetty with a light on it at the end of the street. haven't caught much there myself, but you never know.
could have even been a big flattie that you hooked. they can take off with quite a bit of speed if you hook them in shallow water (once they know they are hooked haha)
