Kaotik_Monkey 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey I'm heading down to river road today to fish the Onkaparinga at about 3ish. I've never fished here before but I was thinking of using soft plastics (which I have also never used before) just wondering what I should be looking for if I want to target bream? Kaotik.

Ugly4Life 41 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I believe the bends in the river are usually pretty good. Also if you can spot any structure in the water that's usually a good spot for Bream as they tend to hide in fallen logs/overhangs/rocks etc. Generally you need to flick your plastic right in tight to the structure. Others who fish the Onk more often will have heaps better info than me though. Kaotik_Monkey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Highfly 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Bream is one of the harder species to target on artificialsIf you are fairly new to the sport you may wanna do a bit of researchand perhaps target them with bait first.Once you can identify locations and times when you know u can get them on bait perhaps then make the transition to spGet some runs on the board. Dont let anybody tell you any different bream on sp is tuff,If you can catch big bream on sp regularly you can catch anything on sp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaotik_Monkey 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 yep i defiantly need to go back to bait haha i tried some soft plastics today (just using very basic tackle and some crappy techniques off youtube) but got zero. even worse i saw some fish jumping out of the water right next to where i was casting hahaI'm going to head back again tomorrow with some squid and pilchards and see what i can do. I'll be happy with anything at this point. I got a new rod and all i've caught on it was a couple of squid i wanna give it a good test...Kaotik. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fished out 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Why not have 1 baited rod in a holder, and throw lures with the other? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaotik_Monkey 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 i'm only just getting serious with fishing so although i do have 2 reels, 1 of them hardly turns over. $$ is tight atm so i've just been building my tackle up. I've got another reel coming but i bought it off ebay before i joined this site and saw the poor reviews ebay reels have got :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
