MASTERCLASS: Your Ultimate Guide To Catching More Bream On Lures - Soft & Hard! (Part 1) 

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate that feedback. 👍

I appreciate that! Hope you enjoy the content... lots more coming!

Thanks Flex! 👍

Cheers!

Thank you, skeet!

You bet!

I was pretty rapt! They're not all like that. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it! Tight Lines.

Cheers mate! I will. 👍👍👍

Thanks so much for that! When you re-watch it, look for those little "ticks" in the line. It's a fascinating exercise!

Thank you so much for that wonderful feedback! Get well soon!

Thanks mate! It was touch and go there for a sec'!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks so much! That’s exactly the feel I’m looking for when I shoot these videos. 👍

Thanks Tim!

So true! And you're blessed with some brilliant bream fishing in Tasmania!

No problem 👍

Thanks so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, it was a great little session.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate! Good luck!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks heaps, Ben! Don't worry, while ever I can still hold a rod I'll be chasing bream... and hopefully making YT videos about it! 😉

For sure! My hands still shake… every time!

Sure was!

Thanks mate!

Thanks Michael!

Thank YOU!

Thank YOU! 👍

Thanks for the great feedback! Yes, the term "bream" (pronounced either 'brim' or 'breem') gets used for a wide range of deep-bodied fish all around the world. Our Aussie "bream" are in the same family as your saltwater sheepshead and porgy. Tight Lines... I'll check out your channel! 👍

Thanks heaps for that!

Yes, must say, instant switching is very addictive. I’d struggle without it.

Thanks for watching and for your positive comments, Len.

Cheers!

Spot on, Andrew!

Thanks mate! Yes, quite a session. Wish I'd taken the fly rod!

Thanks, Seth!

Thank you, Jim!

Thanks mate!

Thank you, chon! 👍

Cheers! 👍

Thanks for your feedback, David!

No worries, Alf! Thanks for the great feedback.

Thanks again, Steven!

True!

Cheers! 👍

Thanks, Mark!

One of the nice things about blacks.

👍

Thanks for that!

Cheers!

Agreed! Thanks.

Thank you! Yes, it was a cracker.

Thanks for that!

Thanks Frank! Yep, that’s the plan!

Framk Saunders - Steve helped me go from keen dangler to proficient angler through the article if FWF and Modern Fishing back in the day. Waaayyyyyy back now lol. I hate to think. My Baitcaster, still in use, which I got on the advice given in one of his articles is 30 this week, I am 52. That alone has made me a lifelong fan of Starlo, lol.

@@AndrewFishman great stuff! Although you ARE making me feel old! 😄

@@StarloGetsReel 🤣 Not old, mate. Just more experienced. It is my 52nd next Saturday, I feel it catching up myself lol. I am a person who never had idols or heroes. You and Buschy however filled the roles of Mentor and for that, you have my thanks. You guys, John Bethune, who I had the pleasure to meet at a casting clinic one year, John Turnbull who I knew at the ANU and taught me to fly fish for carp in Sullivan's creek, I still can't time a double haul for the life of me lol. Those guys were gentlemen. I hope to one day fish with you and have as much fun as I did with those legends.

@@AndrewFishman Yeah, he's a top bloke who if you meet him in person, will take his time to break down everything in easy to follow steps.

Thanks!

@@StarloGetsReel Steve, watching this video and the one on Lake Macquarie surprised me. The systems seemed to be really healthy compared to about 20 years ago. Older, larger fish and more of them. Maybe those two great sessions were just an exception but It made me reflect on all of the work that everyone did to remove commercial fishing from so many of NSW estuaries, back then. Seems like it paid off :).

Thanks for that! No, I haven’t done anything specific on setting the drag… but I should! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! I’ve had a good run from the 8-carrier version of Shimano’s Kairiki braid. It doesn’t wear as well or last as long as PowerPro, but it’s thinner, more supple and better suited to “finesse” applications such as lure fishing for bream, trout, etc.

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks so much, Ross! I'll be going into more detail in coming parts, but I'm a big fan of the FG knot for those connections... that said, I'll happily tie a Double Uni out on the water in the heat of battle! ;)

Thanks for the feedback Steve. Unfortunately I haven't been able to master the FG in light lines but the Double Uni, well I read about that in a particular book a few years back.......

Love Ansons. Some cracker bream in there. But I'll stick to the Native Watercraft. ;)

We do some of that too! But only where appropriate.

Thanks! I believe you’ll usually get more bites the lighter you go, but there’s no point going so light you start losing lots of fish. I regularly use 8, 10 and sometimes even 12 pound leaders on bream in really heavy country. I accept I’ll get a few less bites but I’d rather hook one and get it out than hook four and lose them all. 👍

Yep!

Thanks Peter! Check out all Ray's lures and order them direct via his Facebook page: facebook.com/RTBroughton-Lures-126674125519096

Glad you liked it. I tend not to specify particular waterways, especially small, pressure-sensitive ones. But these techniques are applicable anywhere bream live.

Thanks Eddie! I'm not sure... I'll have to measure it! I'll let you know...

For sure. Luckily we get a fair bit of that most winters: still but cold!

Anything natural and green or brown-based, at least in clear water.

Thanks! It’s a Native Watercraft Ultimate.

Those were Decoy Nail Weightjigheads. Hard to find. But you can rig them snag-proof on a standard jig head, too. I show how in Part 2 of my Masterclass. Here: starlofishing.lpages.co/bream-masterclass-part-2/

Thanks! That one alternates between being tidal and non-tidal. Was closed (non tidal) when I had that session.

@@StarloGetsReel Do you find the fish are harder to catch when no tidal?

@@michaelosullivan1248 sometimes. It can be harder to find them because they’re location isn’t dictated by tidal movement.

Yep, yaks are great. You seem to be able to get pretty close to the fish in them.

@@StarloGetsReel I have noticed that if you are quiet a fish spooked in the shallows will often stop a few metres away, sit still and watch you. cheers

@@bobclark4994 true!

I'll go into more detail on all the gear in Part 2 but I think they were Decoy jig heads. I use a few different ones. And yes, you can buy RTBroughton Lures direct from Ray via his Facebook page: facebook.com/RTBroughton-Lures-126674125519096

It’s a Native Watercraft Ultimate FX. I love it!

@@StarloGetsReel thanks mate, I definitely think I need one for my bream fishing. Loving the content mate 🎣

All spelt out in detail in Part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mt9yAFwa5-I.html

10 pound on the plastic.

Lots, but not for bream. The lures are mostly too light…

Love it!

Sure are.

No. But similar to both your sheephead and porgy.
