Black bream around Matilda Bay
I've been around UWA a bit this week, and scouted off the jetties in the area in my spare time. Two days ago (Weds) I walked around Jo-Jo's jetty and I saw dozens (literally) of bream swimming around, along with a school of what I thought were hardyheads going nuts. Some of the bream were good pan-sized specimens. Best of all was that I saw no blowies around.
So today I came prepared with my rod, and an assortment of lures. I got down to Jo-Jos at lunch to find the area filled with jellyfish. In some areas I would say the water was 50% jellyfish. I couldn't see the schools of beautiful bream that I had been staring at for half an hour just two days before, and blowies were thick as flies. I cast around anyway... there were some bream there, as I had two follow my lure right to the jetty. Then after those followers, nothing.
Its often the way, when you see some fish cranking you are not prepared, then come back prepared and turn up donuts.
Has anyone had any luck in that general area lately? I've got some lunch breaks to fill next week :-)
