Australian Bream Challenge

Daiwa Glenelg River BREAM Qualifier

On a weekend where Victoria suffered severe weather with strong winds and rain, anglers battled it out on the Glenelg River for the SA AOY and the precious 3 qualifying spots to the Daiwa BREAM Grand Final at Mallacoota later in the year. In a river system with approximately 6-7 metres of fresh water sitting on top of the dense salt water, bream were concentrated towards the river mouth sulking close to the bottom.

In a tight wrestle, Warren Carter claimed victory, ecstatic to win the Lowrance AOY trophy and his second triumph for the 2010 season after Mallacoota earlier in the year. The Shimano sponsored angler used a T-Curve T Series rod matched to a new Stradic 2500 C14 reel spooled with 4lb Berkley Crystal Fireline and 4lb Varivas fluorocarbon leader.

NSW BREAM Classic - Sydney Harbour - Aug 29

Anglers were greeted with a glorious Sydney day for the first of the NSW Bream Classic’s for 2010 and with over $8500 in cash and prizes up for grabs were keen to get it on. Sydney has been fishing tough over the last couple of months and today wasn’t to be any different, but of course there are always those teams that manage to find good fish and those that manage to grind it out for a bag.

In 1st place was Duffrods-Kustom Fishing Tools Nick Reay and Lucas Pratt. The boys were coming off a recent win at the Hawkesbury and are obviously on fire. Fishing flats close to the start put an early fish in the well from between boat moorings but with it being slow they moved into deeper water to blade and picked up another average fish. Another move back to the flat and Lucas remarked to Nick that if he didn’t pull one from a particular boat hull he should take up flathead comps. Nick cast to the hull and was hit by what was to be the tournament winning fish, a 1.625kg horse that took 4 decisive runs under the boat before being netted. The fish came on a 3# gulp minnow 1/32nd jig 2lb microfuse braid & 4lb rockfish leader. Lucas scored an 800gramer on the next cast. The boys completed the bag by 11am using ecogear blades.
