Coomera Canal Breamming

[PREDATOR]

Hi Guys,

 

Fished the canals in Coomera, land based on Saturday for bream. I started the morning top water, launching sammy's and ecogear walk the dog styled shrimp. I have quite a few follows but no takers, the water was very clear and the sun was very bright so not sure if this had something to do with it. I switched tactics and fished tiemco stick minnows and crazy crabs underneath marina's and jetty's. again a few touches but couldnt hook up.

About 10am i switched tactics and fished pink grubs just sub-surface. i had bream show immediate interest but get this, on only one side of the canal....i reckon the bream on the other side had fallen for the old pink grub a few days before lol. I found some bigger fish amongst the smaller ones and when retrieving, the larger would also hang behind the small. i ended up dead sticking one after a few retrieves and watched a good sized bream stare at the lure for good 10 seconds, he finally decided to eat it!

 

The rest of the day, i found casting to larger bream i could already see feeding were the only ones interested. within the few hours i fished, i released 5 bream so it wasnt a particular successful day. 

 

Cheers,

My favourite Coomera technique would have to be using a small crank, like a Maria Chubby. Boring and non visual but definitely works.

Any fish where you get to see it eat the lure is almost worth 2 in my book.

You would be catching jacks as a bicatch?

I have caught jacks in the coomera but never as a bycatch when fishing for bream. I guess they would readily take cranks though
