Bream fishing has always been a favourite of mine. In the early years a good friend and I would head down to Birkenhead in his trusty Datsun 1600 to sit on the rock wall using bloodworms for fish cruising the edges. From this early beginning I’ve been fortunate enough to fish for bream right across South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.
While there are many tried and proven techniques that remain staples while chasing these awesome fish, as with all things fishing there have been some real game-changing new techniques and technology that make catching bream a whole lot easier. What I really love about bream is they are fickle fish that require good presentation and angling skill to get a bite, but there is always a way to fool enough to have a great day out on the water. In this article I’d like to share the techniques I like to employ to catch this fun species.
