keenfisho 1,416 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Its been awhile since I started a post so he goes, Lately ive had a bad run on chasing KGW. The waters ive been fishing have just felt devoid of life. Due to this my last three trips Ive cracked the shits and headed straight back into the creeks and creeks mouths to chase trouties. This has been great fun throwing poppers and hard bodies at them and my 3 year old has had a ball doing this. While doing this my mind has kept wondering to thoughts of chasing one of my favourites the black bream.Ive been doing quite well over the last two years catching these awesome fish on plastics but ive decided this year I will concentrate of throwing hard bodies in the mangrove lined creeks and structure filled port. This fishing will suit my short trips with the kids this year as time is limited.So today i went to BCF (argh!!! i know i hate them too) with a voucher i had to spend. Bought a new tackle bag as the old one was falling apart and then dumped the rest of the voucher on bream candy. All these new lures will be added to the usual suspects in my tackle trays and will be throw into the trouble areas with the new bream combo which so far has only seen trouties on the end of it but so far very impressed. The new setup is a Azuza ABS601L-SK 1-3Kg line, 2-7g Lure. Its 1piece 6'Ive matched this with a Shimano Stradic CI4+ 1000 Its so light but strong so far I love it just need to get a big bream on it. If the plan comes together hopefully it will lead to a few more of these and hopefully some larger 40+ models and maybe even the long chased 50+cm model.

Magoo 152 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 One piece rod & 1000 size reel - sounds like good fun to me, chasing bream What line are you going to use ? Have bought a few HBs recently & just bought an SX40LC 307 earlier tonight, might grab a couple of Starlo's too keenfisho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AquaticResearch1 1,046 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Good stuff, I like the shorter (6ft)rods myself for boats and short casting myself. Found one of those lured 3rd down on the left and it swims like a champ, happy to throw in narly places too. keenfisho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 My money is on the Sebile Crankster to get the first decent hit.... Cheers af keenfisho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn2fish 4,610 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'll be keeping an eye out for the 40+ models in your reports A 50+ model would be awesome! Tinker and keenfisho 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have bought a few HBs recently & just bought an SX40LC 307 earlier tonight, might grab a couple of Starlo's too I normally run 4 pound stren microfuse braid but got talked on to trying the new Sunline super PE8. They only had 6 pound but it feels thinner than what I normally use and so far has been great. I have quite a few SX40s they are a great bream lure. Good stuff, I like the shorter (6ft)rods myself for boats and short casting myself. Found one of those lured 3rd down on the left and it swims like a champ, happy to throw in narly places too. This I precisely why I wanted 6' I have always used 7' but wanted something a bit shorter for the tight creeks My money is on the Sebile Crankster to get the first decent hit.... Cheers af I agree mate, this one is just a replacement to one that was lost to a snag last year. I love the sebile crankas, bcf had them going at just under $13, fantastic value at that. I'll be keeping an eye out for the 40+ models in your reports A 50+ model would be awesome! I will try my best mate. I have a spot that consistantly produce big bream at certain times. I know there are 50cm+ models just need to land one instead of donating them jewellery bjorn2fish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB tragic 743 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Enjoy your fishing. Will look on for your reports with great anticipation. Regards, HBt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,349 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not sure if you do it already or not, but a good bit of advice I got from a mate was to take the split rings off the front of the lures and attach the lure to your line using a rapala or loop knot. I've noticed since doing that that the lures swim straighter and a lot nicer, and you have one less hunk of metal on the lure (my suspending HB's actually suspend now) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piratepom 3,197 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Good luck mate. Sounds like a nice little challenge you've set yourself. Watching with interest. Read or watched somewhere that some HB lures are designed so they swim better with the split ring and by removing it you change/stuff up their action. Just something to think about.

Booma 1,349 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I would have thought that would be the case too pp, since they all come with one on, but having used split rings for years, and recently changed to removing them, I've only seen positive changes in my hb fishing! piratepom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishingmad 306 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Make sure you get yourself a couple of daiwa double clutches both in 60mm and 75mm BIG BREAM CANDY ALRIGHT!!! One of my double clutches would have caught at least double if not triple every lure in my tackle box hands down!!! Before i got a double clutch my go to was the SX40 in 351 or 307. Will be getting myself a few nories, OSP and megabass to trial but im tipping they wont be as productive as the double clutch.... And yes that elusive 50cm bream is definitely on the cards for me also Glenn2015 and langas 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I redid my lure trays the other night and had them all out on the table, the wife walked past and made a comment about how many there are and how much $ worth? I had to laugh because i know she doesn't really want to know think she would fall over Fishingmad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mickyj 3,192 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Think ive used most of those hard bodies in the past I love using my 1000 or 750 on bream ill keep an eye on your posts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magoo 152 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 a few cranks I've bought recently, some perch patterns may suit redfin more so than bream but may work in the Coorong too? I like the clear ones for clean water, as back in QLD & having a cast net I caught a lot of glassy perchlets, which fished live, nailed heaps of bream - they're seen in aquarium shops as feeders & are transparent 40 -70mm on average Kuerschie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
