Please tell us about your bream fishing. How big do they get. How do you run your tournaments. What kind of lures and baits do you use. Tackle?

Berkley Powerbait minnows is supposed to be one of the hottest baits on the bream trail in Austrailia. But They also have some very popular smaller, local plastic makers with some good baits.

[Bill Willette]

Welcome!!! Nice boat (saw pic in your library). I'm a 640 owner too. Pretty cool site as well, looks like them down under bream can get pretty big.



Hey just a question, what motor is that on your 640? Mines a 2002 with a 90hp, but it looks like you have an Optimax? 75 or 90?

 

[Jeff Murray2]

Thanks for the welcome.Our bream tournaments use the same basic formula as you do for bass.The tackle we use is what you would use for panfish,I am currently using a G.Loomis S781 I built up with Fuji silicon carbide guides and Tennessee grip.The reel is a daiwa luvias 1000 spooled with 2lb braid and 6lb flurocarbon leader.As Champion186 said the berkley 3" minnows are a favorite as well as the berkley Gulp! range.The river2sea baby vibs are also fooling alot of fish.A 4.4lb Bream is considered a trophy and any fish over 16" is worth a photo or two.My 640 is running an optimax 90hp/21p standard prop/5 1/2" below the pad as from dealer.
