Great video champion, I've only tried the bream prawn for about twenty minutes, and that was about 6 months ago, will definitely be getting them packets back out again, I told you the bream are stacked up in that bay and canal, at the moment, I've had my best bream sessions there, and plenty of whiting up the canal, also a pack of salmon up the canal yesterday, couldn't hook one, but great to see the system is really coming back after the floods, most of the bream I've caught there, have a darker golden colour and not the really silver ones, but about half of them had sores on them, great video champion
Thanks a lot Anthony, that's amazing. It's been a tough month for me especially out in the open. That one with sores was the worst I've seen. I wonder what happened...
The other day I was at the tackle shop, I saw them on the shelf but I was waiting for someone to encourage me to give them a go Thanks Shroom. They look not bad
Good fun vid Shroom. Ever since they were release well over 10 years ago they have been underrated. That is because at the time they were release 2" shrimp was the No.1 lure on the tourney scene. Then not too long later the cranka crab and Zman grubs got released so the poor little bream prawn never really took off in a massive way. Steve Morgan (Boss of ABT/AFC) has been the one stand out continuous user of the bream prawn. He also uses stick minnows a lot, tries not do what everyone else does in the crowd I think. He has a youtube channel but its more tourney fishing than a comedic fishing experience.
Thanks a lot Boris, very underrated indeed. I think a lot of it is because when a lot of anglers think of the bream prawn, they picture people fishing off boats in the tournament scene but there's no reason one can't have fun in the casual sense landbased.
@@ShroomFishing Yeah you're right, to be honest this is a really good method land based, less snags and don't need to be afraid to chuck it into the darkest spots. They work well on a weighted jig head too if the wind is about.
I agree Stephen, their greatest effectiveness is with a worm hook but landbased I can understand why people might use something else. In structure, dropped down along something like a boat hull it would be dynamite!
I've seen them being used but never tried them. Saw someone on insta catching a tank of a Bream with them. Going to have to try them after watching this. I hear you can flip em around 4 different ways on the hook once they start to wear out
Watching a few usa fishing videos, they seem to love using this kind of setup for bass, cool to see someone using it in Australia. Anyone who double bags those scented lures has been through a traumatic experience with leaking lol. I think a small split shot there would really help.
This plastic was designed in collaboration with an Aussie angler Steve Morgan. Check his video tutorial on how to use it. It’s his favourite method for tournament bream
A good lure in the snags and structure Mark. They have a really slow sink so long as the wind isn't too strong and the current isn't ripping it's deadly
I’ve tried this in white colour with small and light t/t jighead worked too. It’s good in winter I reckon most fish stays mostly on the bottom and structures, this lure smells really strong too! Great sess bro 🤙
I've seen a few people using the white colour recently haha. They work with jigheads as well, I do think the weedless weightless presentation gives it the X factor though!
Enjoying your channel. I have never been a great fisherman but I used to use traditional hook n sinker & bait and catch the odd fish, never a fishing hero but at least would catch. Few months ago I made the leap to soft plastics.... I live in paynesville (fish everywhere.... apparently anyway). Have 2 rods 3-9kg and 4-8kg daiwa, and daiwa 2000 reels. Using braid 8kg and braid 6kg, trying 4kg and 6kg fluro leaders. Have like 30 different types of plastics inc all the kings zmanngrubs etc. Cannot catch a fish. Keep playing with the retrieve but in the last say 48hrs of straight fishing I have had one strike that did not hook and that's all. Anytips what I'm doing wrong? (My knots are good, I'm not snapping off or anything). Does colour of braid matter? (Locations fished: paynesville canals, paynesville moorings, lakes entrance under the bridge and on the island near the tafe, near the caravan park rhe other end in the estuary near the golf course, nicholson River, under bairnadale bridge). Using scent (zfactor and another brand bloodworm flavour) in a tube on the lures. Using pretty small jighead hooks. Cannot catch one fish. Any clues? I'm beginning to think this soft plastics thing is all a big marketing ploy. Have done about 40-50hours of actual line in water fishing time.
Good on you for trying to take up soft plastics. Fishing right now is the toughest time of year, at least for me so don't get discouraged. The first obvious problem I see is that your rods are way too heavy for smaller fish like bream and whiting. A 2-4kg 7 foot rod is a good compromise between strength and finesse. Braid should be approx. 2-3kg or about 6lb with a leader around the same poundage. See this video here for further tips and of course, I have a whole series of podcast episodes (Shroom Live on Spotify) talking about lure fishing for the beginner at the stage you're at. ruclips.net/video/_jheLGufBDA/видео.html
Afternoon Jonathan. Yeah I've been fishing more or less out in the open. It's just a tough time of year in general, gotta fish everywhere and find them
Great video champ!!...How about trying a SAMAKI VIBELICIOUS FORK 70...Can be great on Bream.I caught a 90cm jewie chasing bream on one, the motor oil orange UV.
@@ShroomFishing pain in the rear Destroy soft plastics But fish do eat them Snapper have been seen in cockburn sound (yes a real place but sounds coburn when you say it) smashing blowfish on the surface etc
Hey bro ik meeting subs can sometimes be awkward and annoying but if U ever feel like seeing some cool spots around Cronulla for flattys/tailor/squid and going forra fish with a keen Young bloke that would hectic 🤙🤙
hate cathcing toadys!. its fun when they puff up and make noises like a squeak toy and i yeet them as high as i can into the air before they splash down. last one i caught pretended to be dead for just over 5 minutes then righted itself and swam away.
Buy Aussie, support our brands and buy holt and other Aussie manufacturers. The fact the guys with all the money are imitating the small lure brands and trying to take them out the market is a joke personally. Can’t support blatant knock offs from market leaders
@@ShroomFishing yep. First time I used them was in the abandoned oyster racks at Brunswick. Caught 22 Bream but not a single keeper. I went back a few days later (same tide) and chased them on a Nories Laydown Minnow. Only 4 fish. All keepers. I’m my experience, Bream Prawns produce great numbers but not great size. It’s my goto lure when I introduce my mates to Bream on plastics but I personally rarely fish them.
@@mudgut69 Crazy to waste money like that. Its not plastic It's closer to bait fishing than lure fishing. It's scented and it's an edible material. So use real prawns and save money. This is why you're conscious of all the tiddlers it catches. I work in the industry and this is the most mocked lure , ( sorry artificial bait) amongst experienced customers. It looks nothing like a prawn, its the scent doing the damage. Which isn't lure fishing. Sorry but I hate to see gullible youngsters being ripped off.
Yeah I fishing a bit heavier but the hooks can take it once you get it set. It just feels nice when there's a bit more weight with the increased drag that's all, just trying to have more fun from the capture
@@grimreaper6112 Yes indeed I have. A good way to get a feel for the intelligence of fish is to consider what experienced game fisherman get to observe. When we're out chasing big tuna and marlin, we imitate the fish those bigger fish eat. We see millions of dolphins game fishing , because they eat the same fish marlin and tuna do. But we NEVER EVER HOOK A DOLPHIN ON A BAIT OR LURE.!!!!!!. Dolphin's are can plainly see there's something not quite right. The tuna and marlin, with brains relatively large because they're big fish , don't have the brains to spot the fake. And this happens consistently and repeatedly, which is the the thing our sport relies on. So, no, I don't think the 29cm bream with a brain a tenth the size of a Marlin ( at least) is going to be too hard to fool.!
They don't look like much so I think it's all in the way it sinks and wobbles. The scent obviously plays a huge factor too. I think without the scent, it wouldn't be nearly as effective at a guess
@@ShroomFishing GETS BETTER RIDDLE ME THIS. IF YA HAD A Z MAN LURE OK AND A SYSTEM WERE THE LURE WOULD NOT MOVE ON HOOK FULL STOP NO GLUE ON LURE AT ALL ADD ANY WEIGHT AND USE ANY HOOK IF YA NEED TO. SO THAT MEANS NEVER USE A JIG HEAD AGAIN. I WONDER WHAT THAT WOULD BE WORTH TO Z--MAN AND THAT IS WEEDLESS AS WELL.

Yep in theory you could get about 4 rods but I'm satisfied with about 2 rigs. Usually one end tears completely when they get belted lol

ahahah Hai, gotta verify it's quality!
Ecogear make some great lures just started using an mx48 suspending and it is going well on the bream.

Thanks Big Kev, worth a go when the wind is low. If you find the fish, you're in for a good time!

Yeah my shrooms at it again 🤙
Always! 😎👍
Gday mate thanks for another great vid, what distance were you getting on the cast.
Thanks Alan, it feels like you're getting 75% cast distance with a normal lure but you are getting the same distance if not a bit more.

i have a mmd soft prawn in pink in 50mm what fish does that target shroom? its also got no weight to it should i have a small sinker?
It should have an inbuilt weight, you can catch a lot of species such as bream, flathead and whiting
@@ShroomFishing yeah it has 2.1g lol but should i add a little weight or no just for more distance and to sink faster
?
No, use it as is. You don't want it to sink like a rock, it will work better this way
@@ShroomFishing thanks shroom your the best i really hope i meet you someday because i live in sydney aswell
Hi shroom love your videos👍 what leader would you recommend for this type of fishing
Shane, 6lb or possibly even 4lb if your knots are good. I used 6lb in this video
Hey shroom loved the video what do you think is the best weight jig head for Bream?
Thanks Elias, I recommend the 1/16oz size #2 as the general purpose weight. Works in most situations!
