GCC you would be a good cop, asking all these questions! lol just kidding. Most SP's around 2-3" long are good for bream but that doesn't mean other sizes wont work. My first bream was on a 4" power minnow in perl watermelon (I think thats the color) just off the bank. The key is the lighter the better.

Cheers, Mick.

Hey,i wouldnt mind being a cop.......haha

I could be asking more questions depending on how we go this weekend....if we catch 0 expect to cop a barrage of questions lol!! hopefully that is not the case, instead we will be posting a successful report instead!! I will go buy some light jigheads before the trip ....thankz!!

The key is to have a range. I had a lot of success in the early days with a 1/16th gamma jighead with fine guage hook and a 2" bloodworm powerbait if I remember correctly. We used to call it the performer. Same thing in xmas lights colour was good aswell. You really have to change your technique as the tides and wind change. I consider 1/16th fairly heavy heavy but sometimes it feels right.

Pink grubbin was used on the tournament circuit a few years ago and as far as I understand it, it is rigging a plastic (usually pink) and working it as a surface lure. Again, use Mono leader and do some experimenting.

Something I have found is a lot of techniques feel wrong........until you catch a fish .

Persistance and trial and error is important. Remember, some top level pro's come home with a 0 bag sometimes!

gold coast chaser.. the nerang holds so much structurse to flick a lure into and so many places hold fish...

i use a small platic mainly lil flick baits or wrigglers and atomic prongs anything around the 4inch mark..if r fishing the day the bream will be found lurking in the shadows of trees, Boats, Pontoons, bridges etc...

technicques to use are light weight jig heads for a slow sinking style then vary around with heaveir jigheads. remembering not to heavy..

anyway good luck.
