If slow rolling a 1/12oz size 2 jig head is suitable. If fishing grubz a lighter jighead like 1/16 or 1/20 is good for a slow sink rate, although 1/12 can still be used
Everyone has their own preferences on lures and soft plastics, and there are hundreds of options which will catch fish. It's just a matter of finding a technique that you are comfortable with and honing it from there
Any of the flats and river banks upstream of the narrows or canning bridges should hold bream at one time or another, just a matter of figuring out which spots produce and at what time.
Personally we find the tail will kick more easily at slower speeds when rigged upside down, but in saying that we have caught plenty of fish rigging conventionally as well
i can't seem to consistently catch them on lures, they rarely ever show interest. I do everything right as far as tackle goes, light set up (4/6lb braid - 4lb-8lb fluorocarbon leaders. I've caught them with tons of success on lures in other systems, but in the swan it's such a slog. I don't understand how other fishos seem to be catching them regularly on the plastics or hardbodies in the swan. Don't get it at all.
@@compleatanglernedlands4318 a month later and I made some big adjustments. For one I got a much lighter rod, a reel with a slower gear ratio, some thinner braid and dropped my jighead sizes down to 1/20oz in most situations. I'm pretty consistently catching them now and even managed a few big ones.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s good to see the Swan river is still healthy.
Love from W.A.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
No worries mate!
Nice video. When I’m next in Perth maybe you can help me catch a few fish
Love the video, keen to try soon :)
Just wondering if those caldias are still available anywhere
What size jig heads do you like to use for swan river for 2.5-3 slim swims and grubs?

Great video … any tips on where to go 😂

What braid do you think that is better for a 1-3 kg savage gear rod and shimano sienna 4000?
Pe 0.6 braid is going to be good for a light 1-3kg rod, but that reel is a bit big for it.
Ok thank you for responding,what size reel would be good for flathead and breams?
@@nicoloscarpa9683 2000 is fun sized but i would go 2500 with braid so you can handle any bycatch mulloway or use it in the ocean for bigger fish.
Grubz or slim swims?
Slim swimz in this video, but grubz are good as well
do you mind sharing what bridge is that? thanks
It's the Windan Bridge at Burswood
What bridge is that
That's the Windan Bridge in Burswood/East Perth
any reasoning of rigging it upside down?

It can definitely be a tough system to pin down. Feel free to pop in store if you like and we can hopefully point you down the right path.
