Yesterday was a public holiday, and my friend and I went fishing to catch some whitings in the Peel Estuary.
We didn't see any whiting unfortunately, but I hooked a good size bream in a boat harbour. I was dropping a shrimp pattern from a jetty, and the fish came up to grab it as the fly was falling down to the bottom.
The angry bream was trying to go around the jetty pylons, and I thought I was going to loose it knowing the 4x tippet won't have any chance against those sharp barnacles clinging onto the jetty.
In the end, I managed to steer the fish away from pillars and rocks to bring it to my landing net. It was fun.
