First bream session in a while! - 22/9/13

[rjc123]

Managed to head out on the yak today to chase a few bream. The water was a little chilly early on at 16 degrees and so was the fishing.... went the entire morning with only a couple rat flatties and nothing more. In the afternoon the water seemingly heated up a fair bit to around 20 degrees (pretty big increase) and this seemed to coincide with a better bite. After flogging the pylons for some time a little fella at 28 hit the bloodworm grubz. First fish off these pylons in months so it was a relief regardless of size. Unfortunately just one other hit from this spot before another move was in order. Only had a little while left so decided to go and see if I could save face with a couple of flatties from a favourite spot. Elected to fish my favourite all-rounder blade - Ecogear vx40 in the black/orange belly colour. It makes a great silhouette and seems to produce when all else won't. Sure enough I sounded up a school of something holding near the bottom in around 7m of water. Dropped the blade down and it didn't take long to hook up. After a good tussle, up popped a better bream at 33. A short while later I hooked up again and landed a 34cm model. Had to get going after this which was a little annoying as I had that school well and truly fired up. Blades are usually an absolute weapon when bream are schooling in deeper water, and today was no exception. Even though it was a really slow session the spot's gradually coming back to life as summer approaches. The super clear water didn't help that's for sure! I even found myself fishing topwater at times today (very optimistically) as it's my true addiction.... not long now til topwater time!!

Cheers, Tom

Good catch of bream up that part of the system for this time of year. Like you said, will only improve as the water warms up.
