Myself and Grantm hit Wyong Creek yeserday arvo. A nice warm steamy afternoon, not wind... It looked perfect. After all the rain I was expecting a bit more colour in the water but it was all good, my expectations were high and I was expecting to at least get a couple.

As we travelled along on the electric there was plenty of bait around (shrimp, mullet, herring) but a definate lack of bream. Didn't even see any on the snags or up in the shallows which was unusual for this time of year.

Grant was first on the board with a little chopper. Then I jagged a little herring on a HB then a little flattie on a hawg.... but still no bream.

We moved up the river a bit further where I got my first "bream bite". There was a bit activity up here and you could see a few bream feeding up in the shallows. I finally managed our first and only bream for the arvo... He was huge............. all 10cm of him .... Grant finished of with another chopper and it was time to head home.

Still a great afternoon on the water and it was great to meet another member.

It was great to meet you mate and we will have to get out and give them another shot soon.

Good report Jethro, sounds like a nice way to spend the afternoon.

I had a stroll down Tumbi creek a few days a go and the water was full of what looked like mullet, literally hundreds of them. I wonder do any "better" fish get up that creek?

Yeah it certainly was a relaxing arvo, never fished it from a boat so it was good to check it out.

Thanks Geoff do it again soon :)

Will do Grant and hopefully find a few more fish this time.

MarkD - I have heard there are a healthy population of bream in there but I have only ever fished it once down towards the mouth. We caught a few fish here and there. There is also a good population of Bass up in the fresh
