Had a really good session couple weeks ago, finally catching that 40cm + bream. Managed a 40cm, 43cm and a new pb of 46cm bream all within 5mins of each other. Wish I was recording.

    You will still catch fish mate, throw the samaki vibe in 70mm fork tail and flathead and bream will smash it. Soft plastic with a 1/8th or heavier jighead will also work. I would throw a bait junkie minnow or zman slimswim in 2' -3' inch size I usually fish 3m or less with light soft plastic as that's the style I like to fish. I haven't mastered deeper water fishing yet so i couldn't push you in the right direction confidently.
