Interesting read, the bream bait debate, I'm very surprised after reading all the posts that nobody has mentioned red crabs. When fishing the ocean rocks around Sydney red crabs are great bait for the really big fish.( I won't say anything is "best" because we all know bream eat just about anything) They are the the reddy-brown spikey variety that are often seen on the pylons of wharves in the harbour and live below the waterline on ocean rock platforms.(They are also the number one bait for big groper) Collecting them on the ocean ledges is not for the faint hearted as you plunge BOTH hands down a crack in amongst the red/brown weed,moving your hands along the crack wall until you feel the crabs and then either grab them off the wall or if there's heaps in there, bring both your hands together and swiftly lift out a "ball" of them. The crabs that bite-"scutleys,tanks,purples and scotchies" all run away leaving the reddies that cling instead of running. Reddies also have weak soft claws and don't hurt that much when they grab you. ALL the 'running crabs' hurt like mad but the 'system' works and you won't get nipped! It took me ages to get up the nerve but I'm ok with doing it now! You cut all the legs off the body,lift off the top shell from back to front and cut in half 1 leg threaded on then through the leg-socket holes of the halved (or quarters if really large) If you're worried about blue-ringed occies,they aren't there if the crabs are- same with green morays! Thick gloves would work also.Hook used is Mustad 92554 suicide in size 2/0, Give them a try,you won't be disappointed and they catch the big bream in daylight hours as well as night
crabs have being mentioned early in the post

Not all of quibray bay is a sancutury from what I know any way last time I was there there were markers Saying not to go beyond this point so I think you lot might be jumping the gun a little I think tony keflapod knows the area best can you confirm tony by the way good catch Kurnell starts to be a little incositant this part of the month works well I'm December cheers Jim bream

10 bream and pack it up that in some cases would be in half an hour maybe the intelligent people should look at the spawning of a single bream and why bream numbers have not decreased in the last 15 years in Botany Bay so the trawlers like down south recently can take them in the thousands and that be fine who is the idiot here to accept these changes recreational anglers don't do the damage trawlers do what we need is better policing were does the 30 dollars a year we pay for a fishing licence go maybe they need to put more inspectors on and do some thing about the netting out side port hacking by trawlers.
