Techniques for Big Bream

Hi All,

Sorry for the two day delay but i have been out doing what i do best...no prizes for guessing what either.

First up i will finish off my techniques for deep water bream. It really has been a true revelation in bream luring so make sure you give it a go. Later in the week i will wrap it up with a quick report on my weekend. This will surely whet the appetite for a mid-week sickie. 6 jewies in two sessions....log in for this one.

Techniques for 'Deep Water Bream'

As i discussed, long streamlined lures are beneficial to deep water applications. The assumption is that the fish are foraging in the deep so lures that mimic food sources that are found right on the bottom will appeal to the bream better. So in comes the lures that can mimic a worm. They are a prey item that lives right on the bottom and when worked correctly are almost irresistable to breambos.

The whole premise here is to mimic a worm as suggested. So work your lures with minimal movement. I mean slow it down guys. You actually cannot work the lure too slow. Once you feel like you've slowed it up....then slow it up some more. The long profile of the lures will actually flutter in the current without any rod manipulation from the angler. So in essence the lures is working for you without doing too much. Its basically one step up from the 'do-nothing' retrieve. So lets call it the 'do-sfa' retrieve. This is a family program so i wont elaborate on 'sfa' if you dont already know the meaning.

So now you get the idea to work the worm imitation slow, you know to look for water over 30ft, the next step is how to get the best out of the technique...Unfortunately you need to log in tomorrow for that....
