Best Bream Bait

[Pedro14]

About 50 years ago , I fished the Noosa river with a guy who worked at an abattoir and he used the spinal cord of cattle, and he caught some good ones.

My preference is mullet gut onion cut into thin slices and pounded , dipped in tuna oil and then bread crumbs.
To keep layer of sugar and then salt and place in fridge.
If drifting yabbies by a mile.

Chicken breast or thighs

Noone has mentioned dough, I was down the Brisbane river yesterday (St Lucia) just chillin for a time and had no real bait or any great need for a serious fish so I took a few slices of bread and made some dough up with flour.

Just mucking around with dough on an unweighted hook I pulled in two around 27cm just dropping and lifting it about 1 meter off the bank.

Didn't keep em or anything was just seeing if it would work.

Thats the best way to catch bream off the tangalooma jetty...

Liver, cut into strips and threaded on the hook like you would flesh bait. Got the tip off an old bloke 20 years ago. It never misses.

I voted prawns as they seem to be the most consistent in catching bream for me - including a couple of 28cm models from the Brissy River yesterday, although my biggest bream (not huge at 32cm) have been on pilchard chunks. I usually get three baits from each pilchard.
