Mr_clownface Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Hi, Recently I have been lucky enough to catch some large bream,when should I release large bream? For example female breeding fish, Hopefully someone here can share some knowledge on this great fish.

dirvin21 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'll start with 90% of my fishing is catch and release this is personal choice and I have no problem with people keeping fish for the table provided they follow the rules and exercise some common sense bream are very slow growing whwn compared to other fish, this means very large bream take a long time to replace in the estuary system, if I keep a bream (very rarely) I usually take something in the 30cm range, I generally follow this practice with most fish I keep (mostly flathead) I have read a theory that with fish migrating to spawn the larger fish lead the smaller fish and thus the knowledge is passed through the species hence I dont generally take the really large fish. hope I haven't preahed to much Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a shot on the laptop when I'm home thoughCheers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Mate, stick to the rules and do as you please. Everyone will have a different opinion on this and for different reasons. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Mate, stick to the rules and do as you please. Everyone will have a different opinion on this and for different reasons. Matt Exactly!!! Site rule....... 13. No criticism of legal catches and/or inappropriate imposing of C&R views in fishing reports! I think what savit posted gives you an idea on the age versus size of the fish. The catch and release side of it is up to you! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
