No Kings Then Bream Loh!

The other day went for a quick lunch break quickie with Chen at Iron Cove. First stop was the drain but the wind was blowing 'in our face'. The casting was totally crap and we decided to shift to the La Montage side. While we were there, saw an asian with 4 rods and casting just below the footbridge. Another baiter who probably likes lead and mercury in their diet. I was amazed with that spot in the sense that there was no puffers stealing our sandworms the whole time! Even with casting very parallel to the banks. On a particular twitch with the 'tail' section of the worm, I got a take and it was quite an alright fight from this 28cm bream.

The colour on this bream was beautiful. One of the best healthy looking fish I've seen.

Went to Hen and Chicken bay one super early morning at 5am. The sky was still dark. No choice but to wear headtorch. Attached my favourite SX40 and started the 'poor mans' stretch but nothing. Then it was about bloody time I head up to the end of the bay and fish the road stretch. Why I hated to fish there is because everytime when there's cars passing by, they will horn as if to get my attention and it always startled me! KNNBCCB! Eat full got nothing to shit is it? Anyway, it was weekend so not much cars around. Few cast at the spot later I got a lousy fight from a 30cm bream on my SX.

As I was fishing, I saw another aussie guy luring there as well. He walked past me and we said our Hi's. He was only there for awhile cos' he was complaining about the action not being hot. It was quite true, I thought the weather and wind was perfect and the tide was high but still so-so. There was quite a lot of surface activity as well. So when a mullet made a splash near where I was, I made a cast of the bloodworm bm there. A slow-roll twitch and I felt a fish was taking off so instantly I strike. Woohoo, this time round the fish took some drag and gave me quite a good fight. But it was only a disappointing 30cm bream.

Not long later, I snagged the bm, basket! Called it off since the tide was f#%kin low. Went to maccas and tried out the Deluxe Brekkie Roll ($5!), not that spectacular leh...
