The last few times I've head up there it's nothing but peckers and undersized bream. But maybe that's just me.

I prefer to drive the extra half hour and go to tyres.
Im with ya on that one, I've been fishing there for over 10years and i used to hook up often to big (35cm+)
Bream or even just more consistently smaller 30cm models but in recent years im lucky if I catch one 35cm in a couple of hours on the Tambo.

I'd be extremely happy with a 35cm out of the Tambo, Mitchell or Nicholson. That's a great sized fish, for there.

I've heard many stories how my dad use to go to the Tambo and take 40 a night with crap gear, cheap bait and little effort.

No wonder there's no decent fish there nowadays lol
