BRIBIE BRIDGE
Fishing has been going well for flathead at night on soft plastics. Also, some good mulloway through the deeper sections around the pylons.
WHITE PATCH
Plenty of just legal-size flathead on the flats. A few of the locals have been using small paddle tail plastics, also some big grunter bream in the same areas.

PACIFIC HARBOUR CANALS
Huge bream at night around the pontoons. Best baits have been small whole squid and peeled prawns.
TOPWATER BREAMING
Catching bream on surface lures is one of the most exciting forms of fishing. Having an aggressive bream smash the lure makes for sensational action. Surface lures come in several different styles such as poppers, pencils, stick baits and minnows.
Lures
ROD SELECTION
Rods are usually around seven foot in length, highly tapered and quite stiff. They are generally 1-3 or 2-4 kg and give you control over your casting. There are plenty of good options on the market. My rod of choice is the Atomic Arrowz Bream flats surface 7’6’ 3-8lb.
REEL SECTION
I highly recommend choosing a reel in 2000 or 2500 size, which provides lightness and comfort. Using braid is a must, select braid between 4-8lb. I prefer to use a monofilament leader because it floats better than fluoro-carbon which tends to pull the lure down rather than being on the surface.
Enjoy Your Fishing! Remember, practice responsible angling by only catching what you need. Happy fishing adventures!
Danny & Michelle
