Tackleshack Doug and I headed up to my breaming spot last night for a quiet little fish away from the seabreezes.

We landed about a dozen bream between us (all released) and a number of Grunters. Some of the bream were just size, with a number ranging from little tackers to just under size.

We tried a variety of baits and I just thought I would pass on our findings.

The old reliable peeled prawn attracted a lot of constant attention and landed a few nice fish. However, they also attracted most of the grunters and the smaller bream.

I was also using whole whitebaits for awhile and they were also attracting interest. However, the fish tended to pick at them a bit and quite often dropped the bait quite quickly.

Half whitebaits semed to attract a lot of interest. I think by cutting them in half they let out more odour. The fish also tended to be more aggressive with these baits.

Now, these feeding activities may well relate to the size of the fish, and I expect that when the bigger bream arrive, whole whitebaits or blue sardines may be the bait to entice the big ones.

I think the big thing to remember is that, if possible,take a variety of baits as bream can be finnicky at times.

Thanks for a nice evening Doug. Hopefully the bigger bream will turn up in about a month,

All the best, Colin Hay
