Ok, Thats the only place I have caught a bream in the swan.

What is the best way to rig a bony herring?

 mostly running sinker with fillets of the herring, from what i have heard, alot of the asians have been cleaning up, also up around belmont and ascot area.

I used to part a half hitch over the head for presentation if that helps

If you turn off Kirkham Hill terrace down east street in Maylands. there is a little beach to the east side of the jetty. You need to cast a fair way out onto the drop of a shell bed....best bream from there was 40+. Some stonkers there, mind you, that was some years back. Reckon musles with 'the hook' would do well!

Dopn't fancy my chances on 2lb line though!

Thanks colin, will give it a try, if i fail at burswood.

We went out yesterday and picked up a couple behind ascot and belmont. then decided to hit up the yacht clubs for some big winter bream, got smoked twice at SPYC and didn't land any there, the fish were really finicky after the bustoffs. We then hit up the matilda bay area, once again very finicky fish, picked up 1 small fish and that was that for the day, came back to watch the eagles get flogged by the tigers, bugger.

Very frustrating when you can see the fish are there but they aren't interested.

a customer at work reckons he picked up a 58cm bream from the back of burswood on a whole boney herring, very hard to belief without a photo.

I guess that's the fun and challenge Dean. 58cm one BT, uh huh AAA lists the WA black bream record at 2.980 Kg and national (SA) at 3.450 - no length though.

have been to causeway bridge...3 times in a row now..but havent got a bream nibble = [

the more u fish..the less stress u get....

a couple of weeks ago, in front of the Seminary 100m upstream of the Lilac Hill bridge. I have not fished there for some years but it used to produce some great big ones and a give away was all the Nyoongars from around the Swan used to fish up and downstream from the bridge on both sides of the river.

That is a great area for bream. My first wive's family own a property around there where I had my own private bream spot. Some great bream hang around the reeds there. (Colin 1 - Co-founding member of the prestigious Colin Club)

Will be down belmont tomorrow for my first ever bream fish.

 Any tips for lure fishing? I am going to use softies or my hardbody bream lures.

Bait for backup is prawns
