Boneheads 2004?

Hey I saw a post on DohDohDohDohDohDohDoh about the Boneheads 2004 trip (looks lik eit was fun, some nice fish there) and wondered if any of you guys on the trip got into any western yellowfin bream on the trip at all?

G'Day Ira,

We managed 57 species but didn't catch any bream, yellow fin, black or pikey.

With 23 blokes chucking flies all day everyday you'd expect a few to be caught. They certainly weren't around in good numbers.

I have heard good reports of big yellow fin down the bottom of the gulf but that area didn't get fished much on this trip.

I guess when your catching big spanglies from the shore, you don't think too much about bream. They'd pull a bream backwards all day.

Drool.

Bream? Who needs them with spanglies like that.

You guys get any longtails?

Exmouth in a month, Exmouth in a month, Exmouth in a month... Can't wait!

Edit: where can I get them shorts?!?

Hi Chris,

Yep the boys that had boats all got longtails.

Justin Duggan from Sydney landed a 15.6kg longtail on the last day. Rohan Smith and Arnold Tucker found plenty too.

The gulf side was full of bait. Areas the size of footy fields like washing machines. Longtails, mack tuna, sharkies.....

One group had few shots at Longtails from the shore around Neds Camp. Now that would be extreme, longtail on fly from shore!

Yep those spanglies go hard, take plenty of line too, unless they find a nice reef hole to stitch you up in first.

Hooked a few from that the rocks at Cuvier, but never landed one. In fact the first fish I hooked at Camp Rock on fly was a Longtail, go like hell, would be easy to get these days with GsP backing and graphite rods. I want to go back up there are find one of those things off a rock. Max
