Mullet, tailor, beachworms. Once you find the fish! All of these have produced for me. Personal preference, tailor, a bit softer tham mullet, I've had a better hook-up rate with it. Cheers!
Pippies for ease of use, gut and fleshbaits for better quality. Big froggies on a small gang can be pretty good as well. The biggest surf bream I have seen fell to a fresh herring down northern NSW way.
i caught over 20 bream last night in the surf on south straddie between sunset & 8pm when the sea squalls drove me home (not one illegal but they all went back) - i was chasing bigger game
the bait Mac tuna
a single mac tuna gives heaps of strip baits & still leaves a good inch of flesh to grind up as burley. They also come with a nifty carry handle.
You do need a set of pointy nose scissors or knife to remove the skin from the hook but that;s why its so good - average legal bream getting nailed on 8/0 hooks because they can't remove the bait.
by the way I missed a monster tailor - it ran at me & by the time I realised & caught up it had wrapped around the line. I stayed connected for about 2 min before the line gave way - total for the night = lots of bream, 1 kg or so tailor, a missed monster & a wet bum.
daylight bream = pippis with a red bead just above the hook
Down here in Evans Head herring are the best bait in winter and ofcause SP worms next and then the humble pippie some monsters have been caught over the last week on SP in the rocky area passed Salty Lakes.
cheers squidgie
pippies, caught my first sea bream last Sunday at the gold coast , just before all that rain came. Was using pippies and fresh worms. Bream was caught on the pippies{ the bigger fish} other than that lots of dart on worms. CHEERS woody
fresh pippies are usually a great bait for bream. A few weeks ago I was doing OK with bream in a good gutter, an old guy came along a few hundred yards away and outfished me 3 to 1.
He was using his 'secret bait'---strips of well cured whiting fillet, I think he used salt and a bit of sugar to cure them, looked and felt a bit like boot leather but the bream certainly loved it.
