fishing is quiet fun Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 hello fellow anglers on a recent family trip to the tweed river i took my one man kayak and my light spin stick(stradic 1000, 4lb fireline and Tcurve 2-5 kilo) and was soon battling the current and waves at the mouth of the river to get to a great little backwater packing with lure munching bream, flatties and whiting. succes was slow as it was the first time i had fished this part but as i was trolling up the strecth with a small rebel in tow i hooked and landed a very nice bream( which was released because i mainly catch and release) i then stopped in a small bay and caught a little flattie on the rebel. i then opted for a small popper (river 2 sea bubble pop 45) i was working this along the banks but could only produce follows so i tried working the little popper a little more like a trevally lure and sure enough every bream in the vacinity was racing to tackle my little popper. i caught incredible amount of bream on surface but also lost quiet a few.i even found a bream that was willing to hit my popper at least 7 times. i lost count after a while, so i recommend this great little lure for anyone wanting to give bream poppering a go cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Nice session there mate. The Bream up here are an aggressive lot! Were you in Kerosene Lake? If so you can access it via Fingal Head instead of going through the mouth. That could be a hairy ride! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing is quiet fun Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 hey there well when i was working my popper i couldn't get any bream to hit it while using pauses and little bloops. so i tried some hard rod stabs that really made the lure push some water and the bream just went crazy over it. also try a long leader and really long casts. and you dont even need small lures, my mates and i catch bream on zara puppies and there a big walk the dog style lure. hope i helped happy fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
