Cheers for the great feedback S&Hers! Half the photos and fish were taken by James and a couple from Nathan. Credit to them  
 
 
Haven't had any luck with the Bent minnows on bream around this time of year. Salmon trout have been smashing them though! Cannot wait for Summer to arrive 

Headed down to the river today. The morning was sensational, glassy conditions, fog and clear skies. Ended up catching around 10 fish between James and I. Biggest went 37cm on the Squidgy Lobby.

Hey Plankton. Happy to help! The tides aren't much of a fuss, only when it's running hard, it can be pretty hard to keep the lure close to the bottom! The slack of the tides are good to fish, but I find run in tides are also good to fish, as it lets in fresh seawater. But then again, the bream would be feeding on things coming down with the dropping tide! 
You can always trust a Zman 2.5" Grub to do the job . But I'm sure a lot of other lures would go well too. 
 
Best of luck mate! Let us know your luck.   

Here's a little video I put together. 


  That's a very good point, I struggled with that when I first started targeting them. But once you land a few, you will feel more confident and persistent. Always worth the reward when you catch one, nonetheless. 

A many  hypothetical there !
 
YFW, yes, yes & yes! ........KGW, would very much would depend on where and when you are chasing them.
 
Ive had Kgw aggressively attacking bloodworms, wading the flats in the cooler seasons. So inshore & during these 'bloodwormy runny' months?  Sure. Otherwise i'd be going going the ol' cockle & squid

Thanks Alex, I'll let you know how I go, hopefully have some nice photos to share as well.
 
I do have some little grubs, so I'll definitely start off with them.
 
My biggest issue with bream on sp's is patience, it seems they prefer the lure to be moving very slowly and I struggle with that.

Ever since the first time I hit the Onk this season, I've been hitting it almost every week! It started off with a slow session on the salmon, so our plan B was to fish the Onk, although we didn't have the right gear, we emphasised and managed to land a few good fish! 4 fish were landed the first time between James and I. Biggest went 37.5cm.    
 




 
The fish turned off for a while so we finished the day off at the jetty. A nice school came by and James and I landed 2 fish each around 45cm! We were stoked and wanted to do it again.

 
The next time we headed down, it was a lot more breezy and cold.  The water was a chocolate milk colour and our hopes were lost. We started flicking and soon found a school! We both landed a decent fish each and dropped some too. We continued and found another school, same thing happens. Biggest fish went 39cm and FAT! But the majority of fish were over 35cm. Killa fun. 















 
Once the tides changed, the fish turned off so we decided to check out the jetty again.. Unfortunately, the salmon did not want to play this time. 
 
With the bloodworm run taking place around metro waters, we hit the Onk again!     This time the condition were nice. We were welcomed to the spot with a glassed off river and a slight breeze. The water wasn't as murky as last time, but it was still quite dirty. We fished the same spots, and soon found a school. They weren't as active today, but in the end, we managed a couple of good fish. James hooked a bream that would have easily tipped 40cm but unfortunately it spat the hook!   Loved the photos James took today, epic!!   







 
I had planned to fish with Nathan, Kwok and Kelvin on Sunday. Same plans! It was one of the best days (weather wise), but the fishing wasn't up to standards. As Nathan and I moved along, Kelvin and Kwok decided to hit another spot in the Onk. They caught a lot more than we did! We worked hard for the fish all day, but I only managed 3. Biggest went 35cm.




 
Now for my trip to Port Augusta! I'm sure there will be a report, unless I donut!!   
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the report.     
 

JEEZ! Just realised how many photos are there       . I guess a report wouldn't be a report without pics! LOL.

Great photos in the fog.
 
I need to have another go at chasing bream on lures, not sure I have the patience for it though.

Another great session for you and James
