Ask me why I couldn't really tell you, probably because it was the first fish I ever caught by myself when I was down St. Caths one early morning years and years ago. What ever the reason I love 'em, I love to catch them and love to eat them. One of the best things about a Bream is they never give up, a constant fight until the bitter end whether they’re big or small. I’ve also got pretty good at a) Catching them & b) finding them, but only using bait.
Because of this I am determined to catch one on some LRF kit, as the places I can get to it’s a rarity that the go the 3-4lb mark although I’ve seen a 5lber caught at St. Caths in the past. I have done a lot of reading on this now and I have a game plan formulated. Thinking of trying for them this eve (also get to use my LRF for the first time!), the thinking that the Bream detection should be easier with a light rod, Bream are known for their subtle bits and don’t tend to hook themselves easily. The last Bream I caught was last year on bait and weighed in at just over 3.5lb from a boat. I am determined to get one using a lure and as lighter kit a possible, has anyone ever managed one on a SP? I’ve heard of Bream being taken on plugs and even feathers, but I’m intrigued to know if anyone has had some luck with a soft plastic?
I know that the lure should be small and that paddle tails are the way to go and the retrieval technique isn’t too hard, so I will start from there. I am determined and I will succeed!
