How to find a Bream?

The places fish are found are called "structures", for example, a submerged log, weed beds or rocky walls/boulders, are perfect places to find fish homes. The Bream uses structures for ambush and seeks these places out to school as well as for protection. The Bream, while it has ambush instincts, also has scavenger behaviour, searching for worms and nippers in the sand or mud. etc. (Fish are active at dawn and dusk and ½ to full moon phases.)

How to fish with soft Plastics?

Bream are easily targeted with soft plastic lures like the "Popeye" or "Flash Shad" for ambush instinct. While the "B-Grubs" and Squrmin Worm address the scavenger behaviour, the preferred meal for a Bream is often a prawn. Therefore, we recommend a small "Power Prawn" fished slowly. The "Power Prawn" is perfect to use on a slow drift in a boat or by walking the bank. Cast out and let the prawn sink and then slowly retrieve lifting the tip very slowly in a repetitive sequence. The lure then slowly rises toward the surface and then hovers back down to the bottom, replicating a natural prawn in the wild in a relaxed hover state. The ambush instinct makes Bream a sucker for a "Flash Shad"and "Popeye" These lures all rely on the darting bait fish approach.

How to fish using a Darting lure?

The "Bream Bandit" and the "Sprog" are fast shimmering tight action lures'. Which means they are perfect for you to troll or uses for rapid retrieve as the fast shimmering action gives off the appearance of a darting baitfish. This method focuses on flash and reflection and rapid movement as the Bream perceives the lure as a fish escaping from another predator. Be careful not to retrieve to quickly, However they also can be stopped and twitched.

How to Fish for Bream of The Beach and Rocks?

When fishing from the Beach or Rocks, look for surf cutters and fish at dawn and dusk. Then target Bream with a surf rig or rock rig along with a "Cutting Edge Longshank Hook" with the Micro slices or "Cutting Edge Baitholder Hook". The tides are also an important consideration of the rocks and beach. As structures change according to the tide, some fishing structures might be run up spots and some might be run out spots. You will need to do your homework on your structures and observe them before fishing.  (Note: don't forget white water coverage for Rock and Beach. The crystal blue water might look good to swim in but it's no good to fish in.)
