Black bream are generally caught in estuary systems in the southern half of Australia. They can be targeted with a wide range of bait types and are a lot of fun, fighting hard and providing a real challenge when targeted on lure with light outfits, especially in amongst the snags. Here's four tips that we hope might improve your efforts to target this species:
- Bream can be finicky and like a slow-sinking bait or lure. When lure fishing allow 3-5 seconds between twitching, hopping or slow rolling.
- When using fleshy baits try tweaking/bending the point of your hook outwards with pliers for a better strike rate.
- When using bait or plastics use minimum weight to keep you in the strike zone longer.
- Berleying is a good way to bring Black bream to you and keep them interested for longer. A good mix of chook pellets, bread, tuna oil, old pilchards/fish baits or crustacean shells will do the trick.
