rubberman Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I used to fish for bream on the central coast at the power stations when I lived there in the 70s, all we used was mullet strips and gut, never had trouble getting a feed, always get fresh mullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I had a slab of mullet out on a 2 hook rig off a beach intended for some thing big. What I did get was a massive bream somewhere around 40cm. Harry If it's to good to be true, it usually is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie g Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah its called sea mullet. Sometimes its called bully mullet as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter.t.j Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 When the mullet are running in the estuaries, sometimes the bream will only go for the mullet. If that's the case a whole sea mullet could serve you well. In Berowra, Where I usually fish that is usually late April-May. if you are fishing for bream try chicken breast if the water is relatively clear? If the water is dirty I usually do very nicely on chicken gut. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Mullet strips are famous in Forster for bait fishos - specially using hand lines. They let the unweighted strip waft down the incoming tide ..... in the leases ...... and just hang on for a massive blue nose to grab it!! Using rods, it takes longer to register the 'hit' and are often broken off!Handlines are the way to go in snaggy territory with bait, I reckon!! Up here, anyway!!

Jewhunter Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Awesome bait for bream, snapper, jew, jacks, big flathead etc etc. Self caught is best, fresh & unfrozen next best. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
