cant wait for the bream video.
Thanks !!! I hope you enjoy it. this is one of the more complex ones ive done before.
So glad to have an OZ put out such informative and quality video on fishing on product and how to catch.
Good on you Alan. 22/01/22👍
The one in the thumbnail is a frikkin horse! Great fun.
Great video thanks Alan. I'm about to commence my first bream outing having just moved to the southern Huon region in Tassie and you have definitely steered me in the right direction. I'll keep you posted on the outcome and thanks again.
Thanks for the comment Rob. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Tassie is one of the best bream fisheries in the world. I'm sure you'll catch some fish that I'm envious off. Good luck and I'm keen to hear how you go.
This is becoming my go to channel before I go fishing with my son. Great work thanks mate
Thank you !! I really appreciate the positive comment. Got some great content on the way so stay tuned for that.
Mate; great information on lures. Much appreciated
Thanks !!! Glad to help
Thank you for making this video it's very useful ❤
Excellent info session, mate!
Much appreciated!
You’re an absolute legend! So many helpful tips and options! I’m using an Aussie up and coming for my plastics and so keen to match them up against the big dogs (no scent) but his colours and styles are spot on. Keep up the cracking work and happy angling! Cheers!
Thanks !! Really glad you found the vid helpful
thanks for sharing these tips!
No problems, hope you enjoyed it.
Very informative vid mate thanks.
Wonderful, glad you found it helpful
Awesome video mate thanks for that. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it Peter. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Alan for another amazing video it was very helpful
Bream is one of my favourite species to target 👍
Thanks Joshua. Glad you enjoyed it !! 100% I agree Bream are the best to target on light gear. Hopefully some helpful tips there for you.
Interesting and helpful, many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Alan for your tips. Very helpful. Nice job with this one, well done. You are so good. Ciao ciao 😃🤙🤙👍
Glad you enjoyed it Mario! Thanks for the comment !!
Love the video man have tried to find good lures to start using as im brand new and you made this so easy to digest thanks again man
Thanks im glad you found it helpful, got a few similar vids for other species to which might be helpful
@@fishingmad thanks man ill be sure to check them out ya legend
Thanks Alan, we are newbies and your vids are great
Glad you like them! Plenty of stuff on the way so stay tuned for that
Thanks for sharing your info with us 👌👍
My pleasure, hopefully you found it helpful.
Great video sir thank you.
Glad you liked it
Nice thanks for the tips
No problem 👍 I hope you enjoyed it.
Great video Alan,
Many thanks Anthony!
Nice one Alan, some good info there.
Sadly we just had a major storm in Perth, which has inundated the local river system with fresh water and killed loads of fish.
Keep up the great work, mate.
Thanks Pete. That's no good to hear about the impact of that storm. Its a real shame when that happens often takes a while for systems to recover.
Keep the tips coming.
Thanks Wayne !!
Really enjoy your videos. We don't have bream in New Zealand, but plenty to learn from these. We use plenty of softbaits/plastics.
Thanks Joe, You have some amazing fishing in NZ I honestly didn't know you dont get bream there, but all the lures, plastics and techniques here are made for bream and yet apply to most other species.
Very helpful to narrow down the bewildering options, please add the same style video for other species
Thanks for the help bro
No problem 👍
Cheers Mate!
No problems, glad ya enjoyed it
good info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video Alan 👍🏼. I love any video about Bream. They are probably one of my favourite species to target.
Thanks Jared. 100% agreed i love targeting bream with ultra light gear and plastics or lures. Such a fun form of fishing that can really test you at times. I just spent a day up at the Bemm river was pretty epic up there, hoping to do more of that soon.
Yea Bream are awesome on light gear. I’m hoping to get out fishing a few times when the school holidays come.
awesome that soungs great. I just picked up a Infeet EX and Luvias combo its so good catching big bream with it.
One time I’d love to get an infeet rod.
Yeah the infeet EX rod is amazing.
I got one lure as a gift and used it for a year or two with great success, then lost it on a cast. Bought these (same brand/style) and same success. Highly Recommend!!
Never seen bream that big wow
I enjoy watching videos what bream and bass fishermen use cause they my to go to species to chase
100% Dwayno.. You could spend your whole life just targeting bream and bass and be a very happy angler. I think its great to share different lures and techniques that are working for me that might help others. Enjoy the vid !!
You are the best fishermen I know
Legend, your to kind !!
Another alternative to the bent minnows is the Berkeley pro tech bender at just $17
Yep agreed, this vid came out just before that lure was released.
That intro song was classic haha
I really appreciate your honest and thorough review and lesson on this, Alan! Thanks mate.
I’m getting back into fishing but this time I’m wanting to get into casting around dams & lakes in Gold Coast hinterland. Hoping to bring your advice into choosing the right lures.
Good that soft plastics are suitable.
Would there be any point putting a scent or taste on the lures to keep them in the fish’s mouth, or are they just as effective without?
Glad you found the vid helpful, i generally carry around a tube of s-factor. I generally only apply it sparingly to the tail if the bite is quiet to try and encourage more action. Hope that helps.
Hey Allan can you please do a updated version of this
Will get to it at some stage, got some new lures that would be added like the mussel vibe, crush city imposters etc
Thanks a lot love your vids I joined your facebook group also love it thanks
It’s amazing how expensive lures are given many are made by machine in factories.
Great video mate. I find the whole soft plastic and lure fishing a bit overwhelming. I must have 100 or more different packs of plastics and have no idea what to use for what really. So videos like this are very helpful. Thanks mate.
Thanks Darren, yeah it can be quite overwhelming and the volume of choices is almost endless. Working out where to start and what to use in what situations takes time. I hope this helps. I generally have a few goto starting options and now have become a lot more experimental which really helps to have alternative options in different situations.
I agree mate!
Ive always been a bait fisherman but i am trying to get into soft plastics and lures to be more sustainable.
Finding it tough to figure out what actions to use for what lure and so on.
Had a red hot crack the other day and spent 7 hours using plastics the local BCF guy recommended and didn't catch anything..
Chuked a mini squid on a size 2 hook and got a bream in a few casts 😅.
This video was great but i wish he went into more detail on the actually action for each lure!
I'm new to fishing and your videos have been great to learn from. But I have a question- nobody seems to use Jarvis Walker lures and instead use bigger named brands. Do the Jarvis Walker lures simply not work or is it a bit of psychology- 'if I pay more, it'll be better' type thinking? Would love to hear your thoughts or even a video comparing them in use to the more popular ones.
Thanks for your comment Iain. Its a great question. Jarvis Walker and some other brands are considered very entry level. There products work but they don't have the same build quality as known brands such as your Shimanos, Savage Gear, Daiwa's etc. The Jarvis Walker gear absolutely can catch all types of fish species but they often lack the swimming action, durability, hook quality, sizes of the better brands which means your catch rates aren't as high. Most anglers will start with many of the entry level rods, reels and lures and over time naturally progress to the higher end stuff. I hope that helps answer your question, ill try and get some more details out about this soon.
Might be a year old now but great video
Thank you, the lures and plastics haven't changed much in that time. Might have the mussel vibe added to the list but that's about it
Gday Alan,
Thank you for the videos mate, how important would you say leader and main line size when chasing bream? What would be the maximum leader weight and main line you would use?
Your very welcome Mark. Getting line and leader right is a critical part of bream fishing. My goto is usually 6 or 4 pound braid with 1 rod length of 4 or 6 pound leader. When you buy the real high quality braid you can go a tad heavier. I have seen guys fishing on the ABT fishing which 2-4 lb line and leader in certain situations. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello🎉
Have you ever tried freerig for bream fishing?!
I also like bent minnow from OSP! It works really well for largemouth bass as well!
Nah I haven't tried that and 100% the osp bent minnows work great
What size trebles do you recommend for Bent Minnow as the ones that come with the lure, seem small compared to those shown on your video. Thanks. Kevin
What are your thoughts on the bassday sugapen 56?
Fantastic lures, better in shallow waters.
Hey mate, I’m a keen bream fisherman but I’ve only ever caught them on bait. Done a ton of fishing up at Bemm fishing for bream and perch up the river and the channel are my favourite spots. I want to learn how to use lures for mainly fishing around my local river just down from my house fishing off the bank but once I gain some confidence I can’t wait to start throwing some at Bemm too! I have bought a few lures such as the double clutch, and z man grubs. What would be a good couple of lures you would reccomend for a beginner like me? Also could you describe the actions used and how deep to throw them etc? Sorry for the long comment. Keep up the good work mate 👍
All good, honestly for someone starting with lures and plastics i would highly recommend using zman grubz or slim swimz on on a 1/16 or 1/20 jig head. Starting off you don't need to do anything fancy cast, let the plastics sink for a few seconds and a continuous slow roll back. Once you start getting a few start adding some subtle pauses and lifts. Soon you start to feel whats working and adopt your own approach. But i would really start with those recommendations. Careful though as soft plastics and lures are very addictive.
@@fishingmad thanks
Nice vid man but wheres the Ecogear? Zx.. BPs.. especially the SX40 that's a monster . Wish I never sold my yak now got the itch again...
Do you have any tips on choosing lure colour?I really like the wakasagi colour which is purple, would that work well on overcast days or sunrise and sun set?
Bream love browns, and silvers. They tend to be my goto's. Lots of studies that say bright colours work well in clear conditions and dark colours in overcast or dirty water conditions but my results have been very mixed.
Do they still make the Ecogear SX40?
Good to see Gulp "bait" wasn't on the list.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
G'Day Alan, love your work. A bit off topic, but just wondering which model Atomic Arrowz rod you are using in the vid as I'm thinking of getting one, thanks.
No probs at all it was the Atomic Bream Crank. pretty sure it was this one ATOMIC ARROWZ BREAM CRANK AAS-270BC SPIN ROD great value rods also some other great rods on the market to.
@@fishingmad Thanks Alan, this one is defintly on my list of rods to consider... Now I just need to short list them! ☺️
I've always found it very hard to catch a bream on a lure hopefully this video helps
I hope so too! Good luck out there
Hi Alan I love your stuff, can I please ask you what that gold and black finesse rod you are using with the crank baits. Many Thanks Brad
Hi Brad, Thanks for the positive messge. That rod was a Savage Gear Finezze 2-4 kilo rod. I used to love that rod, but you cant get them anymore. It was a shorter length and really strong butt section. I ended up giving it to someone spewing I did, as i miss it.
Thanks Alan love your work
Thanks !!! Much appreciated
These are nice sizes Breams Alan.
Where is this location if I may ask and one near the bridge too.
Thanks
G'day Alan that was great thanks ! Do you use a stinger hook with the Turtle Backs for Bream ? Also, I have fished SP's since about 2005 without a lot of success land based over here in the Glenelg River in SW Victoria ( did ok at Malacoota and Merrimbula ). When the water is clear and the bream are finicky do drop down your leader size ? I normally fish 6 lb leader but I am thinking of dropping to 4lb to maybe increase my hook ups. What are your thoughts ?
Hi Tim, I've experimented a lot with stinger hooks in recent times but haven't used them a lot with bream fishing unless using blades similar to the ecogear zx stuff. You are spot on with bream being tough especially on clear days, they are a very clever fish and spook really easily. On those clear days they can see you and can be very timid complete opposite to overcast days where they are much more aggressive. Combination of dripping leader strength and working plastics slower seems to work well.
Thank you mate.. 👍
My issue with using light jigheads is not sure if a fish has it. My line always gliding with the wind even if i reel it in abit. With 1/8 its fine but 1/16 i cannot see it for my life depends on it XD
Hey Allan what brand is that bent minnow??
OSP, there not cheap but they are very good. There are some cheaper imitations which are also OK
I came to make a complaint lol.
My son, wife and I went to Lorimer West Gate Bridge 3 days (2 days from 7pm to 11pm) No fish😭😂.
We went today to from 8.45am to 5pm. No fish. I used chicken. squid, blue bait, I even collected some Oysters, Mussels and 2 small crabs.
Not a single bite! I talk to Dave, a gentleman who ferry bicycles riders across , he said, for the last 3 months no one catch anything.
I even use soft, curly tail and hard lures.. bought from Kmart. No fish.
We saw some big (breams or snappers) where the Ferry docks. But even with the fresh oyster and crabs. No bites. lol.
Hot day today, Australia’s Day.
End up eating Maca
I just use a tiny hook with a tiny chicken piece with a loose drag! Once the line starts moving bang
Yeah we do that to, works really well with chicken, pilchards, even yabbies and maggots.
hello hello
i was just wondering where is the best spot to fish for trout around Daylesford
So many good spots around Daylesford. You have Lake Daylesford, Jubilee Lake, however my favourite is wombat Dam and also some great spots around Ballarat and Creswick. Check this out for Lake daylesford ua-cam.com/video/EK5Y90Qv0sQ/v-deo.html Cheers
What do you recommend for a person who is only 5ft 4. A really good fishing rod for bream useing for soft plastic?
Being 5foot 4 wont matter and there are some wonderful finesse outfits. Its more a case of cost as the budgets for bream outfits vary so much. Any 1-3 kilo rod paired with a 2000 or 2500 size reel is usually great. Plenty of good short shorter length rod too between 6 foot 6 inch and 7 foot
@@fishingmad thanks you
Alan what rod do you use for bream and is a 4 to 8kg rod ok for bream.
Hi Samuel, I have several bream setups but they are all very light. Usually 1-3 or 2-4 kilo rods maximum which allows you to cast light soft plastics and lures with ease. A 4-8 kilo rod will be far too heavy for bream. Have a look at this fishingmad.com.au/become-a-member as we do a lot of technical workshops and Q&A sessions for people to really help guide them through setting up correctly and techniques to cover different species. Might be really helpful for you,
Oh cause I have a 4 to 8 kg rod for surf bream, whiting, flathead and coral trout etc
And thanks
Have u tried the MMD splash or soft prawns?
Hi Debbie, I actually haven't tried them. ill have to check them out next time I'm stocking up on bream gear. I've used the chasebait prawns and the Savage 3D shrimp but haven't had as many catches with the bream on them as the others that I generally use. The hard body prawn imitations do look strange don't they.
@@fishingmad or maybe the holt productions prawns? Love to see either review
They also look very cool. Some great suggestions keep em coming !!
best baits, rigs and hooks?
This article should help fishingmad.com.au/article/how-to-catch-bream-on-bait also some vids on the channel about bait fishing for bream
That fish looks like a tillapia!
$25 for a lure? Check AliExpress. Cheap and the fish can't tell the difference

The elaztechs are a pile of melted rubber after ten minutes in the car on a hot day
Any lure over $20 and i would want to tie it on with trace wire or 50lb minimum. I think i would cry if i lost it 🤣.
