    daninozz got a reaction from Squid Inc. in Help catching bream for a newbie   
    Don't worry mate your not the only one to struggle when it comes to fishing for bream especially in West Lakes.

    I have been using plastics and bait for bream, this biggest issue with fishing in West Lakes the residents over feed the bream, they grow up with being fed pretty much every day. I am yet to hook a bream in west lakes on a plastic as I refuse to use weightless jig heads.
    I got told that if you use bread roll it up into a ball put it on your hook, dunk the bread in the water so you get some weight on the hook, then you can cast out alot further bream would love that.
    The bream are hard to get because they are smart and incredibly finicky, they spook so easy its ridiculous.
    The best advice I got from fishing for bream in west lakes would be don't use a sinker if they feel any weight on the line they will drop it. for bait I'd suggest  unweighted bread, pillie or prawn on 4lb - 6lb max fluorocarbon line.
    But don't let the lake get you down I had been fishing for ages until I gave up as I was getting no where went to have a flick with some salmon trout in the port, they will take anything they aren't very fussy at all.
    I was fishing off the breakwall in outer harbor in my yak for whiting, decided to take out another rod give it a flick along the rockwall, and I hooked my first 28cm bream on plastics, for me I was so amazed as I wasn't even thinking bream would be along the wall, thats what I love about fishing its so unpredictable.
    But I would suggest heading to Torrens Island or in the Port get out of the lake it can be frustrating that's for sure.
    Most importantly Goodluck and persistance is key
    Tight lines 😁
    here is the bream I hooked in outer harbor off the break wall.

    Hi all,
    So just got back from the holiday manged two salmon one 38cm and the other 40cm off the rocks and a small fiddler ray probably round 60cm
    I caught three small flatty's and some kgw whiting mostly bloody trumpeters but I managed a couple of salmon trout and a mullet off the shore.
    I also managed my first flatty on a small savage gear pencil lure which was exciting as this was the first time I had used the lure so I didnt really know if I was using it correctly, all I did was rod tip down and slow wind then bam little flatty jumped on.
    Still beats adelaide fishing just a pitty there were heaps of trumpeters getting to the bait before the whiting.
    heres a couple of photos of the trip

    Yeah definately understand what your saying I must be doing something right I fished at North Haven in my yak landed my first 28cm bream on plastics.

    Just like others have suggested they are just over fed by residents.

    Below I've attached two pictures of my first bream.

    I am Sorry a lot  will not agree , but I have tried the lure thing , and soft plastics , maybe I have no patience , so I stick with bait , live bait or fresh cockles ,worms ,clickers what ever , maybe I am no good at lure fishing , but I cant stand fishing for 3hrs casting lures , and then try again for 6 hours for maybe one fish ,  F@#k that , bait for me . IMHO
