Where to catch a bweam?
Submitted by beau on Wed, 2011-07-27 11:22
Hey guys, Im currently on my 1st day of a 4 day break and hanging out for a fish. Realy want to try something different and cant realy hit the coast for a bash as a huge front is coming in within the next 12hrs.
I want to try my luck on some bream, Ive got the setup, rod and reel wise, just unsure what lures/colours and where to start. Im in Bertram so 20mins down the freeway is the Serpy River. Im limited to 2WD and lanbased only.
Anyone have any tips on lures and what area of the Serpy or should i just go down there and give it a go blind?
Cheers guys
Beau

what technique do you
what technique do you reccomend with the plastics as i only ever use them in the ocean for herring and tailor and the likes where the technique is more of a fast and erratic retreivve

never fished the serpy, but
never fished the serpy, but there is a little mention of it in the latest western angler e-mag. Notes that the serpentine has larger then average size specimens so good luck.

I have plenty of good bream lures and soft plastics but have failed to ever catch a bream on one... i just dont seem to use the right retrieval techniques lol so i cant really give any advice.

what i do with soft plastics
what i do with soft plastics mate is a slow retrieve and a little twitch every 5 or so seconds

imo general rule.
Hardbodies in summer and plastics in winter.
