Hey mate, I'm a new fisherman from Adelaide. Could you please tell me what rod was your friend using in the video? It looks light and nice, was it a 662?? And where exactly should I go if I'm after breams? I live in West Beach, I went to west lakes inshore a few times, I only caught one small bream... Been using size 6 hook with running sinker, cockles as bait. Have I been doing it wrong? After watching this video I will go BCF to buy the same lure and jig, where exactly should I go in West lakes or onk river?
Hi Guys, I really enjoy your videos but could you please go in to a little detail about what rig you're running? Line weight, leader, type of rod, type of hook and bait/lure. Also, what type of tide you're on: rising/falling? I'm only a beginner and get really excited when I see these videos but am left feeling frustrated as I don't have a clue how to join in the fun! Thanks for your vids though!
Hi Mike, I really appreciate the productive feedback and I would love to help you out on getting into it! I'll keep those points in mind when making my videos. In the video, we used 3lb fluroucarbon leader. It's importaint to use fluroucarbon for bream becasue they are a cunning species. Although 3lb might be a bit light to start with, so I'd recommend 6lb. Ask your local tackle shops about bream combos, they'll put you onto the right gear! I was using Zman 2.5: Grubz in motor oil colour, matched with a 1/16th size jighead. I'm not too sure about the tides for this specific system, but we were getting them all day long. The best time of year to fish it would be around August to November. Hope you get onto a few! Tight lines. Alex.
To be honest with you, I'd prefer summer. Just for the thrill of surface fishing and sight casting, but winter can hold some good schools of big fish. In summer you'd have to dig through the smaller fish to get to the bigger fish, unless you're lucky enough to find a very hungry one.
Hi Alex, first of all, great video as usual. Is there any video where you show how to retrieve these soft plastics? (I remember one you made at the Pat where you wanted to show it but a bream got it before it sunk...). Also, is 0.18 (3kg) mono thin enough for the lures to swim nicely? Cheers mate
Hi Ramon, one of my recent uploads (3 Trip Adelaide Local Breaming) shows a couple of my favourite retrieves. Hope it helps! That mono would be perfect, but I'd recommend using braided line for lures. You'll notice a bigger and better difference! :)
They're called Buffs, Luke. Stays around your neck and can be warn around the face to prevent sunburn. It also keeps you warm in cold weather. Pretty neat!
Hi Tim, to be honest, it really depends on the time of year. West Lakes is always a decent spot but the Onkaparinga River has the whole river to fish. At this time around, I'd go with the Onk. But West Lakes is only starting to fire up!
![[Winter-Summer] Bream Fishing on Bait at the Onkaparinga River (HOW TO)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jG3mPiXeKh4/mqdefault.jpg)
I used to go spear fishing under the foot bridge about thirty years ago when I was a young lad, used to get bream and the occasional mulloway
Mate those 2.5" in motor oil are absolute bream dessert!
You never fail to make quality content Alex. Proved it yet again
Cheers mate. :)
It's good to see the Fish Whisperer in action, never lets you down, always presents great vids.
You need to get yourself a telescopic landing net.
Fish Whisperer, I like it! Lol! Cheers Anton.
I have got one but it's too hard to carry around.
I'm your number one fan.
Like stan.
Thats the go, good to see the Onka getting a bit of love
Cheers Josh, you've been a bit slack on the fishing as of late! :p Lol
yeah you arent wrong, wont be long and i should be back into it :)
Sunscreen and a hoodie does it for me 👍🏼

Are the fish edible out the onk
Yes I eat bream and salmon all the time from the onk
Did you do the 2017 onkapringa river fishing competition ?
When is the best season for fishing at the Onkaparinga River?
Keep it up your videos are great
You are the man Alex
Cheers Like lol!
Hi Alex is there much mullet in the onkarpringa
Plenty in there mate. Jumping mullet and yellow eye. Good size ones too.
Nice video mate, and what is the best time of year to catch bream.

Cody Thornton Thanks

AlexsFishin - Fishing in SOUTH Australia Oh ok thanks mate.
Where about is this?? Location
Hi Alex, first of all, great video as usual. Is there any video where you show how to retrieve these soft plastics? (I remember one you made at the Pat where you wanted to show it but a bream got it before it sunk...). Also, is 0.18 (3kg) mono thin enough for the lures to swim nicely? Cheers mate

at what time did you fish, high or low tide
Both tides Henry. High tide seemed best though.
thanks cuz i just went out and caght myself a pb 42cm bream so thankyou very much for posting this video
Awesome vid man!
Thanks Jakob.
Nice video Alex! Have you ever used rock crabs to catch bream? Which do you think is better rock crabs, prawns, or the zman lure?
Cheers Ahmad! Yes I have, rock crabs would have to be the best bait for them! If you're using lures, then Zman grubz would be the go.
What rod do you run Alex looks really nice
It's a Kuying Teton 662 3-8lb, Jarryd.
AlexsFishin - Fishing in SOUTH Australia hi Alex love ur videos, wonder where did u get ur rod?
Why do u guys wear those things around your neck? What are they?
They're called Buffs, Luke. Stays around your neck and can be warn around the face to prevent sunburn. It also keeps you warm in cold weather. Pretty neat!
Ok thanks
Hi Alex, which area do u prefer for lure fishing for bream? Onkaparinga or Westlake?
Hi Tim, to be honest, it really depends on the time of year. West Lakes is always a decent spot but the Onkaparinga River has the whole river to fish. At this time around, I'd go with the Onk. But West Lakes is only starting to fire up!
Dam son
Because I was a winner for the biggest Mullaway
Sure was mate, I was one of the guys that took a photo for you. Well done!
Did you video the day ?
No unfortunately not mate. There will be a video of the day up on another channel though. Channel is called ChuckTSeeker
First haha
Yew!
