Fisho: Grant
Age: 14
Where Caught:  Scotts Point
Species Caught: Yellowfin Bream
Weight: 906grams

I was fishing at low tide on the rocks at Scotts point in the school holidays. After a few casts out and lost baits I thought this is no good, when I was ready to pack up and leave I thought I would just use the rest of my bait and go home. I cast in my line and waited for a bit and yet again nothing was happening so I said “thats it I’m going home” I went to pull in my line and thought I had gotten a snag then the line began to pull and swim about madly. After about 3mins i caught site of a silver glow and there it was my biggest fish i have ever caught. I was using a 6lb line with Mullet for bait.
