Op shops often have old lap top bags for $2
plenty of compartments etc

Also found a cheaper version on a roadside junk pile😉
I needed a tackle storage solution for wading
I just cut the internals out of a soft esky and sewed in the shoulder harness with $2 buckles from Aussie disposals😉

Thanks in a couple of weeks I’m back volunteering for jobseeker at a charity op shop I’ll keep an eye open

Even seagulls have their own technique which is supposed to mimic heavy rain
 
im tipping just before or during a thunderstorm would be a good time to try
 
 

It’s done on a few different continents with a variety of different implements
worms should start surfacing with in a minute
guys claim it works in Australia but it most popular in countries with moles that hunt underground
rainfall, barometer,  oncoming storms, recent rains and light levels are all supposed to play into the techniques effectiveness
 
 
 

Thanks Doobie. Yeah I did a bit of a deep dive on weird worm catching methods. 
 
there was a product recall in the USA after 30 deaths. People were dying for worms by plugging these device directly into mains power
a car battery sounds like a much saner option

Yeah that would be one tool where it’s really worth reading the instructions😉
from my brief reading, people carrying them around while plugged in and walking around the prongs while live, weren’t the best ideas

If you can - fish everything unweighted with alot of slack in your line. Any resistance on spooky fish will make them drop the bait. If you have to use  sinkers - make sure its the bare minimum to get you bait out there and that its a running sinker. 

The first time a fish should feel any resistance is when you set the hook as you see your slack line tighten

Live 10c to 20c sized crabs are my number one bait for bigger bream - live marine worms would be the best all rounder for all sized bream.

Second string baits are Live garden worms (especially after rain out the front of a drain mouth), freshly shucked local mussel, yabbies and peeled prawn tails.

Then you get into the lower tier baits like frozen or dead stuff.

But if you get super frustrated and arent catching - go buy some live local sand worm - very few species can resist. Scooping live shrimp and prawns are also dynamite baits. The closer to live, the better the bait, in my experience

Even though buying worms is expensive - after a few dud sessions - you begin to think - what is my time worth? If throwing $10 at bait, turns you into a bream catching machine - its $10 well spent.

Just in case I havent been clear - get the best bait you possibly can😉 - in some places thats bread - in some places thats live minnows - but in all places - live sand worm will put a few on the hook

Not sure if the above FB link will work, but it shows heaps of worms coming out of the ground using a serrated stick being rubbed. 

On a family walk around Westlakes today and came across the below.
 



Majority of the school was 30 and above, with a few genuine brutes that too the eye were mid 40s!!
They were just milling about, with no obvious reason for them to be there. I sat and just watched them for about 15 minutes, completely mesmerised.
For those that target Bream often, is this a normal occurrence?

Getting there 

Veggie scraps aren’t cutting it - so its time for worm chow 
it’s only been 3 days but I swear they are getting bigger already

Thanks for the tip
My worm farm has a feeding tray up top where I load the veg and I let it rot up there. The worms come up through the holes to munch on it when it’s ready 

Has anyone ever had success with “worm Grunting” in Australia 
(Sending vibrations down into the soil to scare worms up to the surface)
I just had my first crack, at a few known worm spots, with no luck
 

I've only watched a bit but I'm loving it so far - Love the history and larger than life characters - its a refreshing change from flyfishing style interviews where they get all pretentious and philosophical.

In this one, a guy jams a hook through the skin on his hand and says its the pain that makes fish go cross eyed when you hook em😁 Loving it👍.
