Pine River Bream..

Hey Crew,

Went down the pine for sunset flick earlier in the week.. Started out just walking the bank flicking an assortment of plastics before I caught this 27cm bream on a drop shot minnow.. Awhile later I could see bait fish panicing around a submerged tree but couldnt get a nudge on plastics.. Then saw a wounded bait fish on the surface (victim of a strike) flapping about and something have about 4 or 5 snaps at him on the surface before cleaning him up.. I could literally hear the jaws snapping from 15m away (JACK MAYBE!? :ohmy: ) so quickly tied on a popper and after acouple of bung casts, planted one right in the sweet spot and after the first tug - massive surface strike and I was on... The whole time I was thinking JACK! I haveto admit I was a little dissapointed when I dragged in this 28cm bream.. Good fun none the less..

It's weird cause others have told me that this is a feat too.. It isn't really.. I've nearly gotten just as many bream on poppers as I have hard bodies and plastics.. The smaller river 2 sea bubble pops are gun and the halco mini night crawler's are going OFF in the creeks for big bream! Every bream fishing expedition I will try a popper at least once.. I guess it comes back to that confidence factor in what your using.. There are probably a tonne of great lures in my tackle box that I've never caught a fish on so they dont get a swim where-as others may love them..

How big do the yellow fin bream get up here? I've moved here recently from vic and can't catch one over 25cm..

I'm use to catching 40-45cm+ black bream that take off like steam trains..

That's because Queenslanders are better fishermen and the bream don't last long enough :P :laugh: (Just parochial jokes mate.)

Yeah they dont quite get as big up here unless you get one of the offshore variety or a big one from the surf... My mate caught a 45cm, 3kg bream on the reefs about 50m off moreton island in about 6m of water. There are afew freak ones in the creeks but a 35cm bream here would be considered a HORSE! Not to say they couldn't probably get a little bigger on the odd occurence. Majority of good ones would be between 27-low 30's..
