OK, so we're talking lure fishing with shirvy here, not mullet or beaky bashing.
I fish a lot with the really light gear for mullet and bream in the shirvy and you get loads of bream in the shirvy later in the year if you use the right mix (normally very oily with some chopped squid and half a squid head for bait seems to work best) and have seen black bream to 5lb come out on the marks I fish, though not to me unfortunately I have had several well over the 2lb mark on mullet gear.
Anwyay, so is it cheating to target bream on a lure by using shirvy to draw them in?? It would also bring in Mackerel, beaks, pollack, wrasse and the occasional bass in my experience as I have caught all of them and a few others on bread in the shirvy trail. See if we can't notch up a few more species with the use of an attractant??
