Fishing Techniques

• For Southern black bream

  Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.

• For Goldlined seabream

  Use berley (chum) to attract fish to your fishing spot and increase your chances of a bite; try a mix of bread, fish scraps, and prawn shells.

• For Australian ruff

  Target areas around weed beds and rocky outcrops, as Australian Ruff often congregate in these habitats for shelter and feeding.
