Why so hard to catch Bream in Docklands

Post by FishingRookie » Sat Jan 06, 2018 7:23 am

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to learn lure fishing at Docklands. My gears are Shimano Raider 1-3kg rod pairs with Shimano Sienna 1000FE Spin Reel, 5lb braid and 6lb leader. I have tried Pro strike Micro Vibe in different colours, Cranka Crab in different colours, various Zman soft plastics, etc. Haven't caught a single fish on lure yet :( :oops: :oops: Is there any technique I should lean to know for fining in Docklands?? I heard people say that catching bream in Docklands is extremely hard... Is there any better location for land-based fishing for bream, So I can start catching some fish to build up my confidence :water: :water:

Need your help!! Cheers!!!!

Do a search and find the article from sloth. Its got everything you need to know about fishing docklands for bream. That's his backyard so he knows it well.

But one tip i can give you is if the fish see you is game over. Find another spot.

If you can I’d fish the Maribyrnong instead of Docklands, fish are a lot less finicky and I usually get a few each time I go. The only time I fish Docklands is when the water is clear in summer (the water is filthy at The moment) and when the fish are sitting up high on pylons and boat hulls, I drop a cranks crab just to the side of them and they usually smash it. Another option is the Yarra around the Melbourne exhibition centre. Bream are normally easier to catch here than the ones in Docklands but quite often harder than the Maribyrnong. Also if you can, drop your leader from 6lb to 4lb. Will definitely increase the amount of hits you get with the finicky city fish. Hope this helps!
