been catching some quality Bream around Brisbane lately

[arand18]

Hey guess, lately me and my good mate have been catching some quality bream in the past month, usually when targeting bream we get small ones and annoying nibbles but lately we have been getting smashed by decent bream. What are your guys thoughts on this have you been experiencing the same??

This was a double hook up

A lot more bream have been caught but here are a couple

Thanks

Im flat out catching anything in the brisbane river at the moment.

Is it just in this one spot you're finding them?

Looks like you've found yourself a good spot though?

Good stuff mate. Some great pictures too!

Nice work.

You will find plagues of them around the poo shoot in the mouth of the Brisbane river.

We caught 2 40cm+ ones with-in 10 mins about 6 Months ago.

Its coming on to that time of the year when they feel the need to play mummy and daddy. Should be some big fish pushing in now and numbers coming through a bit later.

Thanks guys, we've got them in different spots and quite far up as well but most around breakfast creek but lately it seems wherever you put your line in we are getting good stuff

[joeltaylor]

Thats extremely promising!

If you don't mind me asking, any reccomendations on bait they're taking and where on the brissy river is good?

I go out on my friends boat and we catch heaps of bream under the gateway bridge, we also get whiting and flatties at vic lucas park near the big pipes(sewrage?). Also at brekkie creek, always worth a try there.

Land-based? Have a few spots. I've been getting mixed bags lately (6 species yesterday) but the bulk of the catch are bream. At every spot there are schools of small bream. The bigger bream are there but since the small ones seems to swarm your bait/lures first, i have only been getting decent legal sizes (30+) every couple of sessions. (an hour or so each).

It has been like this for a few months. I comp fish a bit for bream in a few tournaments and there are a heap of bream in the bay. I think this spawning season will be great.

We have been getting them from Breaky creek upto story bridge. And we have found the best bait to use is brwad, just your normal white bread the softer the better and we make balls out of it and a little soaking in tuna oil helps

Glad to hear your getting more than bream!! My mate and I are starting to get sick of bream as lovely fish they are would love to get some different species.

yea use a variety of bait and lures and your catches will grow in variety too. also use a variety of rigs (weightless, smaller sinker, deeper diver etc-> to catch fish in all areas of the water column)

Some good bream coming out of the pine too

Caught 6 legals ones all in a row in all over legal size.

All on squid.

There are some pretty big fellas in amongst the rocks at the front of the port. Pulling them out of their cover or getting the plastic or bait past the smaller fish is a challenge. This calm weather has given the opportunity to get up really close to the walls there and see how many fish hang in really close to the rocks and how big some of them are.

Was just thinking it is getting to the time of year to pull the 2kg rod out and go looking for some bream on the yak.
