Been a while since I fished the Nong. Haven't fished there since I started BFS, right before covid I think. Was into trout fishing and the bream fishing was on pause. That's until today!
I snagged this solid healthy specimen of southern black bream. More specifically, Nong's bream!
Not big at 27.5cm, but fish is a fish.
Those that have tried, you'd know how hard Nong bream can be to catch on lures.
The blue infeet Z rod was awesome to use to fight the bream, the Abu BF8 felt like overkill (usually I use the BF8 for bass and salt). Varivas braid and 4lb fluorocarbon leader were doing fine. It rubbed me on the rocks but held well. 1/16 jighead and small bug looking plastics were getting the bites.

Re: Nong bream
Great effort Seb. Love my Infeet Z and yes, it isn't easy to catch bream there most times on lures

Re: Nong bream
Used to love fishing the Nong around the Canning St bridge. Might have to give it another go soon if I can make the time for the right tide.
