z man motor oil grub or gulp 3 inch minnow in moldy cheese colour nice light jig heads for a slow sink lots of pauses and small twitches for hard bodies i like berkley sub dogs and sx 40's but never forget a few mullies cause the bream can be hard work at times

hey thatnks, any suggestions as a place to start trying. Not asking for your spots, but something a little more than in the river would be helpful. Really hoping to try get at least 1

Because of the lack of rains I would start at Guildford, you could try the Guildford Rd bridge or Kings Meadow both have been fishing well. Further down you could try Sandy Cape at Bassendean and Claughton Reserve near the Redcliffe Bridge. There are several other places down river from here that you could also try.

Having said this the Bream are harder to catch in winter and I would be looking at using bait instead of soft plastics. Just get some river prawns and some Gamakatsu Shiners and fish unweighted, unless there is a strong current then use a small bean sinker. With these hooks let the bream take the bait before you strike, they basically hook themselves with the shiners. 

Hope this helps.

 up river for sure get away from the blowies
