First day of the ban

Heading out this morning, with 6 lb bream outfits on the ready. Squid and whiting the target, no doubt some big bruisers will decide to crash the party!!!

Thats the way

That's the way to do it John, Last season i had quite a few trips out with the bream gear, had a lot of fun too.

I ended up with sum nice fish, big sandies, flathead, KG's , and a masive flounder. One day every second or third sand whiting i hooked got smashed on the way up , little bronzies were grabing them, wich were interesting to fight on the bream gear for the short time they were hooked.

Cheers Grant ,,

Straight out from Mindaries Matt. Just find large sand patches and small hooks with squid baits. The further out you go the bigger the sandies seem to get.

Terrible day, rough, big swell, green water and lots of silt. We gave up after an hour or so.
