Great work once again! this is going to help a lot a beginners catch some fish.
Thank you kindly, Sometimes its an effort to pull these sort of videos together when its done with the kids. LOL.
Thank you for sharing technique
Your most welcome !!
Thank you, your video is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Plenty of other helpful stuff on the channel, make sure you check those out too.
Great video! Nice catches!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you !!
I grew up in Miami and I can tell you from experience, bream are the best. The meat is like cotton. We always used cane poles.
Yep Bream are such a good species to target !!
I like your video, thanks Alan! It's so surprised that you could catch that many breams at the middle of Winter in Maribyrnong river.
Thank you for the positive feedback. I find the Nong fishes well all year round. Just using consistent methods really does help your catch rate, even during the middle of winter. Fish light, use berly etc it all helps greatly. Some new vids will be published this week so stay tuned.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Terrific video bro
Thanks very much Wayne, Glad you liked it.
This was perfect, was looking for a sheltered spot in the west to take my daughter. We ended up fishing for 2 hours and caught 4 bream under the bridge (was a sunny day today so I thought they may be hiding there) I set up my rig as suggested in this video and bought some scrub worms for bait. Would perhaps use a little more weight to get them out against the wind but other than that all went well.
Hi Mark, that is great to hear that my video helped you catch a few local bream with your daughter. I try to use as little weights as possible when bream fishing trying to keep the bait close to structure and moving freely. Thanks for the feedback.
Only worms or can you use any other baits.
Very nice 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Good info
Glad it was helpful!
I reckon Bream are the best species to teach kids how to fish. Usually plenty of action and great learning on how to strike. + worms rule 👍
Agreed 100% amazing species for kids. Ive done plenty of family fishing clinics. And yes worms are an awesome bait for many fish species.
Hi mate was just wondering when you do your rig is the braid running through the sinker and then tied to the swivel followed by the leader and hook or do you tie a small piece of leader to the braid then put the swivel and then 50 cm leader and hook thanks Reg
Awesome video mate, what would you recommend the drag to be set on and do they often get hooked by themselves or is there a technique to hooking up ?
I like to leave the drag reasonably loose. This way bream can run with the bait and most times they will hook themselves. Basically so you can peel line of the reel only with a little bit of resistance. I think people miss hookups trying to strike a little too quickly. I hope this helps, thanks for the positive comments.
Great video thanks
Thanks mate, now I might "actually" catch one 🤪
Fantastic, we hope you catch plenty of them
Hi Alan love this type of video showing the rigging up. Question: what are the best months to fish for Bream?
Hi Thomas, thanks for your comments. I find that bream are a species that you can catch all year round. I find in the warmer months they tend to sit in the shallows or along the edges and in winter they go more into the middle and deeper water. If your bait fishing using some berley is a good way of bringing them in. I posted a video last night on how to use berley effectively for this exact reason you can see that here th-cam.com/video/SLijf7y5Fx8/w-d-xo.html . Another good tip is that many people cast out far when in fact bream are often hiding under the pier or jetty that your fishing from. I think knowing stuff like that allows you to target them all year with success. In a couple of months they will start spawning and thats when the big ones seem to be very active. I hope that all helps.
fishingmad thanks so much for the information it’s a form of fishing I have never really tried so I’m gonna give Thompson’s Creek a crack this weekend. Fingers crossed!
Fantastic, good luck at Thompsons creek. I hope the video I created helps you catch a few fish. Do let us know how you go. Regards Al
Recently just got into fishing haven’t been able to catch anything at all, watching all your videos now I can see why!
These are awesome I’m sure I’ll have some better luck after this lockdown is over.
Appreciate the videos!
cool. I do drop shot though for all my fishing.. its my favorite.. I like weightless the best.. but hard to cast a weightless nightcrawler very far.. also if you just bait and wait.. try some owner mosquito circle hooks.. you don't have to set the hooks they automatically hook the fish in corner of mouth. we don't have brim here we have bluegills and redears that are decent sized.. and green sunfish but ive only found them really small. I fish a pressured lake here. and I notice nightcrawlers don't catch a lot of fish unless you are throwing them on bluegills. ive got some here and there but I catch a ton more with plastic worms working them in very slowly on bottom.
Thanks for your detailed comments. yeah weightless fishing is also a very effective technique. I will be releasing some vids in the coming weeks on suing different types of baits and fishing some of those weightless such as prawns, yabbies, bread and others. This work particularly well next to structure. Nighcrawlers are also a great bait, a lot of our native fish species like them very much. Just curious what area are your fishing at ?
@@fishingmad man made lake its diff from everywhere.. Castaic lake California and its lagoon. also super pressured since the 90s. though I just started fishing here a few years ago or so.
@@fishingmad check out my vid from a week ago.. it shows one of the big largemouth that I got here. i do catch small ones though because i like to know if there is bait around me to hit a spot longer or not..
I hope this will give me the help with bream fishing
Hi Kristine, I'm sure it will help. I run some family fishing clinics and fishing tuition sessions and setting up really basic like this usually helps people catch more fish. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment
not sure where you are but place looks nice I fish at the nongs alot but that location looks much more better can you please tell me what that rod holder is
Great instructional video, thanks. Can you please tell me which river you were fishing in? We are travelling over from Scotland this year and are keen to give it a go.
Fishing the Maribyrnong river which is only a few ks from Melbourne, very accessible.
@@fishingmad Thank you kindly.
have never been able to get a fish down there at canning street reserve, what time of day do you go?
Hi Luke, The video was recorded between 9am and 10am. I find that Canning is all about the tides. The incoming tide towards the peak the tend to fire up then it goes quiet again. I have had some very productive sessions there and some quiet sessions too. 2 years ago I ran some fishing clinics there between 9am and 11am. On the Sat we caught 20+ bream over 30cm, the following day not a touch. SO it can be a little hit and miss. Hopefully these tips might help you.
Subbed & liked.
Does this simple no fuss rig work for trout fishing too right?
Excellent, 100% the rig works amazing on trout and other species like redfin too
Where is that little system looks great good video
Canning reserve
hey bud where did you purchase that fishing rod from? can i get a link to them if you dont mind thanks.
The combo was a Savage Gear 1DFR inshore rod. That was the 7 foot 2 inch 1-4 kilo rod and a Savage Stealth 2000 reel. Both are sold through BCF. Rid link is www.bcf.com.au/p/savage-salt-1dfr-inshore-spinning-rod-6ft/M562814.html Reel link is www.bcf.com.au/p/savage-stealth-spinning-reel/M539737.html?cgid=BCF08660 Hope that helps.
What are your thoughts on fixed vs running sinkers?
for bream running works a lot better, bream are very finicky. Other species like pinkies and flathead fixed is fine. I always go smallest sinker possible
I’ve been using the wrong setup , I’ve been using 30lb line , with 20lb trace , also sometimes my sinker is heavier due to strong currents , is that okay
Hi Andy, if your targeting bream with heavy gear then your chances of catching are very low. 30 pound line and 30 pound trace is more suited for big species such as king fish or gummy sharks. For bream small sinker and light line will help you catch a lot more fish. Hope this video has given you some good tips.
What about your leader to braid?
hi mate where can i buy scrub worms from and what are they salt or fresh water
You can buy scrub worms from many tackle stores. Locally that includes noel clarkes, vtackle, hooked on bait and tackle, compleat angler you can also buy them from a1bait supplies which is an online shop.
Arh..the Nong River.
Really can’t see the line as you where sitting it up. Is it possible for you to lay it on top of something with a dark back ground?
I have created some very easy to follow how to fishing vids that will help you greatly. How to tie uni knot - th-cam.com/video/eS9uf0n6VlQ/w-d-xo.html Then how to tie a double uni knot - th-cam.com/video/THIF6XjnZJo/w-d-xo.html then how to tie the FG knot - th-cam.com/video/D99B11KRDGQ/w-d-xo.html and how to create your own fishing rigs - th-cam.com/video/Ezd_zfOAkIM/w-d-xo.html These should help greatly. If you enjoy make sure yosub and give a like or comment on the vids
What the best location to fishing at Maribyrnong River as i went there many time never cought any
Hi Abhi, there are many good spots. The video was recorded in Avondale heights, but I have also done very well at Essendon near the anglers hotel, and flemington near the uni and footscray near dynon rd bridge. Bream can be tidal feeders so sometimes it can be slow then you get a whole heap of bites at once. keep persisiting and you will catch for sure. there is also lots of useful vids on our channel and details on our website www.fishingmad.com.au that might help. Good luck, let us know if we can help further,
Tell me, Allan - Is the bream from the Nong edible, or safe to eat? I understand fish from the Yarra are best returned to the water. Is that the same for the Nong?
Hi Alvy, it really comes down to personal preference. The fish in the Nong are very healthy, I have some mates who catch bream from the nong and eat the regularly and haven't had any issues and I have other mates who swear they wouldn't wat them because they are resident fish and there is lots of spillways and pollutants in the Nong. Its a topic that everyone has a different opinion on. Personally I don't eat bream from the nong, but that's only because I do a lot of catch and release.
Thanks Alan, where is this Alan.
Thanks.
Canning Reserve, enjoy !!
@@fishingmad
Thanks Alan. ❤️🙏
What a rod brand?
Hi Alan what’s the lb weight of your braid (main line) and flurocarbon (leader) ?
I had 6 pound braid as the mainline and 4 pound leader. 1 rod length of leader.
I have started using leaders from 1-2 meters because fish keep breaking me off by scraping up my braid...
Yeah thats a good idea. For all my other forms of fishing i also do the same using longer leaders.
What type of rod holder is that?
Hi Vincent they are adjustable clamp type rod holders. They are really handy when fishing of piers and jetties. Just sometimes the clamp isn't wide enough. I bought these some time ago which have been really handy to use www.hookedonline.com.au/platinum-adjustable-g-clamp-fishing-rod-holder-gra I hope this helps. Cheers
@@fishingmad Thanks Alan. Never tried at Canning. Might have to give it a go.
No problems, Canning is a great little spot. That whole stretch on the Nong past high point and the anglers all fishes well.
what is best berley
You can buy premade berley from the shops, otherwise just a combination of pilchard, tuna oil and chook pellets or bread works OK
Where abouts were you fishing?
On the Maribyrnong River, Thanks Aaron
You could do the uni knot in a much simpler way
What hook is it
Size 6 bait keeper hook
By scrub worm...do you mean an ordinary garden worm?
Yeah very similar, scrub worms are generally just a tad bigger, garden worms also work fine
Where do you get your worms?
Hi Nick around Melbourne you have the following places. Hooked on bait n tackle on old geelong road, compleat angler cambefield, Jan Juc worms werribee or have them delivered online from jan juc worms or a1baits online. I hope that helps. Good luck getting a few nice bream.
Kmart
what is the location ?
Fresh water?
This would be estuary where freshwater and saltwater mix. Bream generally are caught where there is enough salt content still in the water. I believe this is about 2 kilometers of the bay entrance.
Thank you for reply me 🤓happy new year, good luck for new year fishing 🎣
No problems, Happy new year to you aswell. Good luck out there
That looked like a #1 hook
Generally using a size 6 or size 8 bait keeper hook. Hope that helps.
I fish mad too, but I'm pretty much mad all the time after I reached about 32yro
Yeah us too !!
whats the legal size?
The legal size in Victoria is 28cm. I hope that helps.
now i can beat my sister at wjo catches the most fish
Hopefully !!
Caught about 25 brim in the last 24hrs but only one was just legal had to throw all the rest back wtf
Hi Brodie, I find this does happen at times. You'll have one day that you catch 10 legal size bream and hardly and undersize and the next day youll catch countless undersize ones. Unfortunetly you just have to keep working through the small ones until you find the bigger models. Sometimes that may mean switching baits or using even bigger baits. Eg I had this issue a little while ago and switched from worms to live yabbies because of the small ones and bang got a few good sizes ones. Or even flicking some lures like this th-cam.com/video/KwWxNNgCSyk/w-d-xo.html for the most part worms are generally very effective, just need to work through some of the smaller ones.
