Help on bream

libertay · #1 07-06-2010, 08:07 PM

I have recently joined a water with a massive number bream in it. I have seen loads of them at the surface due to the hot weather. I have never fished for them and any advice would be welcome.

What water is it? I'm from Wakefield and may know it!

In my experience, Bream like sweet flavours and I fish for them like I'm fishing for Carp but with the feeder rod and lighter line. They will take boilies readily but I find I get better results with lob worms as the hook bqait over some nice sweet smelling ground bait!

Feeder Tactics and as Biggun says Lobworms i tend to tip of the lob worm of with sweetcorn. I also use larger feeders as well to get the groundbait out as well.

Can you night fish at this water? Where i fish the big bream seem to come out and feed from dawn to dusk.

If there are carp in the water and they are heavily fished for the bream may have switched on to the regular carp baits, boilies etc. As was said sweet flavours will catch, as will fishmeal flavours of boilies, pellets and groundbait. What people say down here is fish for carp and you will catch bream. ALL THE BEST AND LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON!

Well seen a few carp in there too. Its walton angling club water a little part of an unused canal biggun dont know if you know it. Every time i see people on there they only seem to use maggots so will give the worms a try. Think i will get there this weekend maybe will let you know how i get on. thanks for the tips.

why dont you keep it simple free running maggot feeder size 16 hook two maggot hook bait lost count of the number of bream caught using this very simple and enjoyable method (dont have to muck about mixing groundbait or drilling biolies)lovely

Can not believe you actually want to fish for the slimey things

Feeder and maggots is the easy way to catch them

Ha ha it's just one of the many fish I have not caught yet. Set my sights on a few fish for the summer got my first tench this year so just adding to my list. Barbel next once this is crossed off so be execting some questions on that next. If only my dad was a fisherman he might have passed on some tips eh :)

thats the whole point simplicity why carry round kilos of bait it just weighs you down and you cant stay mobile or move from swim to swim without packing all your kit up first

Thats one of the ways i catch roach. although i sometimes just stick the cage feeder on and fill it with liquised bread (it seems to work best for me). But i havent actually managed to catch a bream yet which im raging about! i did catch a trout on it a few weeks ago though, was well impressed!

Heading out tonight to the usual spot, will stick a pike rod out (havent had ANY luck with it this year so far frig sake - not even a run) GOnna bring the quivver tip as well. Cant wait! ROll on 5pm
