Bream Fishing

Feeder Fishing is the most successful method by far for the Bream. Feeder rods of 12ft with medium to heavy tips are recommended, however swing tip and quiver tips can be used. The Bream are not shy so fishing very light is not necessary. Fishing with braided line is now considered the normal for good bite detection and direct hook-ups with hook length of 4lb or 5lb and size 16 to 18 spade end hooks. When fishing with corn size 10 to 12 is preferable. Open-ended feeders of 1oz are more than adequate.

Float Fishing is also a very good method for taking bream and can be a great deal of fun once the fish have moved into the swi. Again fishing fine is not an issue and the larger waggler floats and reels loaded with 5lb mono are recommended, with the same hook sizes as in the feeder fishing. 12 ft stiff action float come waggler rods are the norm.

Pole Fishing is often adopted especially for anglers wishing to 'match practice' or brush up on pole techniques. With so many bream to be caught sport can be fast and furious. 12 mt poles with a stiff action, along with larger scaled up pole float rigs are recommended and the advice is to tie up and prepare the rigs before fishing.
