Alexsfishin1 781 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 James and I went to west lakes on the quest for the 40cm bream. Straight away when we got there, we got some takes and James managed a nice 36cm bream already! Always good to have a catch and release session. Anyways, we persisted into some smaller bream and landed another decent one which was 34cm. Fished on for another 5 hrs and landed numerous small ones with the occasional decent bream. We finished the day with two 36cm bream and five 35-33cm bream. Another good session with most fish being legal but of course, all fish released We didn't manage to land a 40cm+ bream but... bjorn2fish, Ugly4Life, Savagelip and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kayak Noob 76 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 What bait were you guys using mate? My best is only 34cm and that was on cockle, which was pure luck!I can never catch Bream in the day either, but I get tons of undersize fish at night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbojames 285 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 You will get one when your not trying to i bet . I am always getting 40+cm Bream as bye catch , when your not trying to get the Bream they can actually get annoying , believe it or not . Keep cracking on tho young fella and you will get there . Also know of a spot where you can try , a mate landed 4 Bream and none where under 45cm and the best went 53cm . Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Years ago in westlakes I used to catch bream well over 40cms as bi catch fishing for mulloway. Most sessions produced at least one whopper bream as bi catch. They would take a whole live 25cm mullet no problem at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexsfishin1 781 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 @Kayak Noob: They are challenging but if you keep fishing for em, you'll work out a way. We used unweighted pilchard cubes with a small hook. @jimbojames and Nanman: Haha that's what I always say aswell. From all my mates who's caught 40cm bream, they've caught them as a by-catch for mullies. :pinch: jimbojames 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbojames 285 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Use the cube or whole pillies on 3/0 or 4/0 hooks , the only thing big enough to take the hook will be a big Bream or Mully and knowing your luck if ya trying for Bream it will be a Mully .

Tinker 1,645 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Love your work mate.That 40cm bream is just a cast away.Just make sure you tie good knots coz its gonna know every trick in the book and pull harder than a freight train.And I hope you enjoy every minute of the fight, coz 40+ breambos really get me grinning.What bait are you using, I still swear by fresh live bloodworms, they catch me more bream than any other bait.I just wish I could crack 44cm, been stuck on 43 for more than 12 months. By the way, really love the catch and release, Alexsfishin1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
queeny 3 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If you still have not broken the 40cm mark by the end of April PM me. If you don't mind a trip down to Goolwa I can pretty much guarantee you a few in one session. Ill take you young whippersnappers to my local monster bream spot Ale and Alexsfishin1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexsfishin1 781 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 CHeers guys!@Tinker: Cheers for the positive comments! We used pilchard chunks and I only wish to break the 43cm mark! Well done, that's a pretty decent fish. I hope I get some 40cm+ bream this weekend and maybe even my first mully @queeny: That sounds awesome! I sure will let you know if I don't break the 40cm mark before April. Must be a real secret spot to have that many 40cm fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fished out 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 You will get that 40+ bream Alex, just got to find him and fool him.On another note, how do you get ur baits past all the tiny bream? Gave it a go the other day and only got it to a decent fish 3 times, the rest picked off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a tip to keep it on the hook, just hook the bait and pull the hook through it. Do that a few times and it should stay on a bit longer. fished out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
