There is more action on the Nelson Bay breakwall than there is in the Moscow Circus. Bream have gone crackers with broad shouldered, bright-eyed thumpers over 1.5kg trying to pull the fishermen off the wall. Great to see more ladies doing battle with the bream, particularly Melissa Silvino who managed to bounce a couple up the rocks.
