Fishing Victoria Forum

Had the same problem recently and started a thread. Got my answer from the helpful replies. Turned out my reel wasn't suitable but your issue might be different.

I saw a bunch while bream fishing near Edgewater just last week. They were rolling along the the edge of the bank. Probably about 30-50 odd.

Did you see the episode of River Monsters where he was chasing the Tiger Fish? It seemed like they were really difficult to find, but you guys obviously got onto a good patch.

From memory you can't use bait there because it's drinking water..

So I found a good patch of low tide bream today and threw everything I had at them. One hook up but lost the fish shortly after. Took a 'Gary Glitter' squidgy (don't blame me for the name). No other action over a 1.5hr sesh. I could see them everywhere but they didn't seem too hungry.Was fishing und...

I heard if you work out low tide nong bream you get free drinks at the Anglers Tavern for life! Oh no.. I've said too much already.. Some of the bream I saw today were in 30cm of water.

I knew it'd be difficult with the tide so low. Tried squiggy wrigglers in bloodworm and dark yellow/black, plus pumpkinseed t...

Road test.... SUCCESS! Flicked some SPs around for a couple of hours chasing bream on the Nong tonight. No more wind-knots, not even one. So it was either my old reel or the way I wound the braid on originally that was the issue. Also made sure to remind myself about line management. Donut session b...

I'm loving the debate on knot strength etc and the different examples shown. Gives me plenty to learn and I keep coming back to this thread to try new knots. I'll be reviewing this thread for quite a while yet while I get the hang of a few styles. I just want to be confident with a 2-3 that will ser...

Thanks for that Brett. Today wasn't a complete disaster. I was impressed with the uni to uni knot. Sailed through the guides nicely and handled some small pinkys without breaking. It was easy to tie at home but I was hopeless at it in the wind and under pressure. More practice needed. I ended up usi...
