Been fishing a bit with my youngest son, we tend fish off South Mole and around the river a bit. We manage to catch a lot of blowies and undersized fish but don't have much luck catching anything worth keeping. I get a bit paranoid parking the WRX ever since someone tried to steal my plates at woodman's point. I'd also love some advice on poppers/softplastics etc. I know Fozzy is mad keen on fishing at the moment and has more success than I do.

Lures will outfish bait 9/10 times. You just have to persevere and learn how to use them properly.

You will be hard pressed to find seasoned fisherman who will just give up specific hot-spots or favourite spots. Bream are finnicky anyhow, and one day a spot will be firing then it won't for weeks.

Your best bet is to research and learn what structures Bream like, learn to fish the tides and go for drives/walkabouts to scout your own locations.

That is why lures kill bait... go shorebashing and cover LOTS of ground.

Bream whore lures like nothing else!













Sx-40's & river 2 sea baby vibes for shore bashing.....Soft plastics rigged weedless for fishing reeds/ structure from a boat.

It's all about technique.

i've actually managed to land bream and flatheads in the past with hard lures.
not as often as bait

last week, i lost a tailor whilst pulling it up and that was a lure
so it can be done, just takes patience and also finding a spot where you know the fish is

More likely to get T-boned by some idiot whilst driving through an intersection than attacked whilst kayking....not too fazed really, I'd rather do what i enjoy doing, than be scared and not do it!

went fishing last night around 10pm on herrison island for mullaway and bream. caught a few little bream, nothing special. but i did get a 43cm tailor which i will be slow cooking for my lunch . disapointed i didnt land a mullaway especialy after a few realy big runs but as soon as i got to my big rod the run stopped, but i geus fishing is all about the one that got away only disapointing thing was the insane amount of misquitos

had another good night fishing, 20+ bream in 4 hrs at herrison island, kept the two biggest for dinner. best thing was no mozzies this time

Bit of and eye opener, it can take up to 5 years for a Bream to reach legal size, a Bream of 30 odd cm could be as old as 30 years and Bream can live to over 60 years.

I wouldn't eat anything that has a 30 year build up of suburban river toxins......

Let alone the fish that size and age are really needed for spawing/breeding.
Anything over say ~32cm tastes like shit anyhow. Flathead are a far better eating fish imo.
