Im relative new to fishing and yak fishing of course. This is my first post as i finally have something worth posting. Went to the Cooks River for the first time under a bridge near Tempe Train Station early Monday. I was fishing the first couple of hours of the run out tide. I tried flicking some soft plastics with no luck at all. Thankfully i brought some fresh chicken breast as a back up plan and decided to cast the chicken up against a bridge pylon and drifted a little and then all of a sudden a monster hit. I had no idea what it was, i just new it was very large compared to my usual hook ups. After a fairly good fight i finally got it to the surface and the first thing i saw was the massive head of a bream breaking the surface. After nervously getting the Bream into the yak i quickly got the camera to take a few picks and a quick measurement before releasing it. It measured 40cm, a PB for me by 2cm. Apparently a bream this size is approx. 20 years old. Cannot wait to give the Cooks River another go. Also caught a 41cm flathead. If anyone can give us some feed back on the Cooks River and some spots to try it would be much appreciated. And yes i know you cant eat the fish in the Cooks River for me its all about catch and release.
