How to Catch a Fish Ep3 - Buff Bream at Hillarys

Made by Zulu Media | www.ZuluMedia.com.au
Thought buffalo bream were a rubbish fish not worth your time? Steve and Paul are going to prove otherwise as they seek to land some of the massive vegetarian fish that hang around WA's rockwalls and reefs.
Few fish from shore are this hard to hook, this hard to land and have this many dirty tricks. One of the favourite episodes ever and one of the funniest.
Can you land a big buff from shore?

Buff Bream = Silver Drummer.....Nice vid guys

[@leoas9446]

Thanks so much!, I caught a 45cm one in Rottnest and I didnt know what it was! I searched it up on google and it called it a Silver Drummer, which i had never heard of. Know I know what it was!

[@RealRobertBruce]

Well done. These are very difficult to catch. I have eaten many large buff bream over the years and they are fairly good eating. Not as good as snapper, jewies, etc., but extremely edible all the same, baked or stewed, or in a curry.

[@raffigoodgerne9246]

Yeah same they are only good if you bleed them straight away though

[@tree7537]

Silver drummer are not "rubbish" when it comes to table fare due to the fact that it is a herbivorous algae feeder. If prepared and cooked properly, it is a delicacy. They are widely targeted and eaten by anglers in many Eastern Asian countries, where stock number and size are below historic average due to heavy demand.

[@whit3clouD1]

whats the difference between a buff bream and a silver drummer?

[@FishingwithRod]

Buff bream, buffalo bream, silver drummer are all in fact the same species, Kyphosus sydneyanus. There are also closely related species such as Western buffalo bream and brassy drummer which have slightly different morphology, like the shape of the tail, stripe colours, etc.

[@whit3clouD1]

awsome thanks for clearing that up rod, i had a feeling they were silver drummers but the name threw me off :)

[@FASANOINTHEWORLD]

i dont believe buff breams are vegetarian like you said in the video. i have caught 3 in one night on mulies.

[@michaelcale4801]
