Thanks mate! Neither do I but everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that. All I can do is hope people watch the video, like and share in support of it! That's the best way to get the video out to other people!

This is actually my second vlog for this lure as you may have heard, I lost the data to the first one where I rigged it backwards as well (with the tail cut off). I found I got more bites rigged head first

Ahhh the old head first method. totally depends on if you fish the Georges or Sydney harbour. In Sydney Harbour prawns swim backwards, in the Georges prawns swim forwards. Except on Wednesdays and sometimes Mondays they don't swim. i will be honest with you, I am extremely bored and need to entertain myself. Good fun video.

Thanks for the laughs @Shroom! I've been fishing around the inner west on the Parra quite a bit and have been landing heaps of fatties but the Bream seem to be few and far between. I often launch my boat from that ramp and laughed when you pulled out a bream from under the wharf, when I run all around the river looking for them! Keep up the good work.

Great video Shroom ! I sometimes have my driver break down there , see some big splashes when it is dark and high tide so I would guess the bream are coming right up to the rock wall to feed - maybe an unweighted presentation just before dawn and on a high tide would produce a few . I have seen a lot of poddy mullet around the ramp and had a sneaking suspicion the flathead wouldn’t be far away! I need to get me some of those lures , I reckon they would be dynamite up on the flats for Whiting , bream and flatties . I reckon if that was a clear ,bright sunny day with no wind the fishing would have been much tougher !

From my personal experiences Ian even in the lost vlog, the flatties love em and can't say no! There's plenty of bream in the Parramatta river, but they seem to pull a large percentage of flathead. I'm going to keep trying if the opportunity presents during a bream bite and see what happens!

awesome session champion, flathead are definitely switched on to prawn lures at the moment, first time i used them in the bloodworm colour i had similar results, 90 % flathead, 7 % bream, and 3% Taylor biting the tail off, great lure when it's rigged right, get it wrong and it spins or leans over when retrieved, and could be a bit more tougher and better tear resistance , great video champion, will they remain in your tackle bag or something you will use now and then, as i think the MMD soft prawn is a better bait, considering it comes pre rigged with Hidden weight hook, that let's the lure glide, but very similar look and size,

Thanks Anthony! Good to know that I haven't lost my touch with the breambos! I think the lures are a great prawn imitation and I certainly want to see how they perform when the bream bite is back to normal. Before throwing them, I thought for certain it had all the hallmarks of a top bream lure so I'm still hoping to get into a proper braem session to find out.

@@ShroomFishing I recently purchased the disco violet colour that is pretty much clear plastic with violet and black flake through it that gives the whole lure a shimmering almost pearl violet look but Very subtle. and it definitely attracted more bream follows than the blood worm colour, so the jelly prawn imitation colour could be better for you, but that was in very clean water at Glebe, so Camouflage or bloodworm should do better in dirtier water i think, not sure as haven't tested the disco violet in dirty water yet, so it will be interesting once the season comes on as you said,

Thanks for the tip! Finesse falls under a lot of slightly different styles of jigheads but if it's the ones that have worm hooks in them the hook up is better but the rate of hook up is a bit lower in my experience. I did try hidden weights in the first video but I found the sink was not as appealing. Might see how they go when the bream bite is on because I can imagine them slurping it up lol

@markrigg6623

You need to concentrate around specific structure as opposed to open flats if you want a higher percentage of bream. This can be tricky when you're land based. In a boat we can move around casting at more inaccessible structure like private jetties and timber boatramps. And don't be obsessed with soft plastics in this scenario, floating divers work well around boat sheds. Steep rocky walls at high tide, places that have a steeper gradient than where shroom is fishing here can also be good and we cast as parallel to them as we can , rather than at 90 degrees. This keeps the lure in the strike zone adjacent to the rocks, for longer. Floating crankbaits for this type of presentation. In the Parra you CAN come across massive schools of bream out on the flats in all of the shallow bays. But this is much more likely in Autumn, where its a pre spawning aggregation causing the bigger fish to school up and forage on the cockle and mussel beds that are found on the bottom in these sorts of places. When you find one of these schools, it can be absolutely insane fishing, once In Brays Bay in May I got 70 bream without moving the boat. I was just sitting there in my Quinny, amongst the yacht moorings. When a fish was brought to the boat there were other bream trying to rip the lure out of the hooked fishes gob. So twice, I got 2 fish on the one cast!. But I must stress, at this time of the year the fish will be more spread out and those bays will be flathead ( and whiting) city. Hope that helps a bit. Those prickly undersized flatties sure can be annoying, as you well know.
