Anti-Carp Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Has any one tried using butter bream for bait? And if so how'd u go on em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yep tried them a few times for bugger all. Tried little fillets for bugger all even when there were plenty of bream around. I don't mind sweep though. A good Jew fisho I know swears by them. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked-Up Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 once caught a big lizard that spewed up a whole bream about legal size right in front of me while trying to spit the hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some research on em and some people reckon the larger ones are good eating and some people keep em in aquariums. What I don't get though is why people pay $15 bucks or more at the aquarium for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should charge people $10.00 & they can come & catch their own! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braidbuster Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Whats a butter bream look like ? penguin Penguins can't eat them ,penguin.Seriously though,they are dead set ringers for fresh water Angel Fish,deep diamond shape in silver with a strip (black) through the eye vertically.They also have a nasty spine at the front of both the anal & dorsal fins,because of this and their wide body they probably choke all fish that try to swallow them,except for perhaps Mackeral & big Tailor with cutting teeth.

King slayer Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Monodactyllus argentus! Can live in fresh or salt as juveniles. Semi-popular but dificult to keep aquarium fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
