Bream fishing in the Port River, SA.


On this blog I'm posting on how to target some of the most highly sought after fish in Australia's estuarine systems, the Black bream, but specifically on lures and in the port river in South Australia.


To target black bream in the Port River, South Australia is best by boat especially while targeting this species with lure. They are found through every stretch of the river from end to end usually schooling in various spots. For land based anglers it is quite difficult to fish a lot of spots around the river as there is very little spots you are legally allowed to enter and fish from, as many wharfs are controlled by the government and are not open to public for security reasons, and there is a lot of river covered with mangroves for metres and metres. A lot of these spots are accessible from the water while keeping within the river's regulations and offer some really good fish to be caught.

A lot of anglers that chase bream in the port river use a range of lures, from soft plastic to hard, from sizes from 30mm up to 100mm. There are many favourites amongst anglers that regularly score them legal length bream that are made by a range of different lure making company's such as ecogear, zipbaits, jackall bros. berkley and more.

To choose what lure to use on the day can often be a hard one so it is good to carry a variety with you, as one day a lure will work and the next day it wont even get a sniff. Favored colors of lures while bream fishing in the port river would be greens and natural colors that replicate bait fish and food which are often targeted by bream. But bream are a strange fish to understand as some times they will take something totally different to what you think would work, like a lot of the gulp range from Berkley, with there weird and wonderful colors that quite often get slammed by bream and occasionally the school mulloway.

Well that is all for this blog, with just a sniff of insight onto luring the black bream in the port river. Any questions, feel free to ask away, and stay tuned for the next blog on fishing for mulloway in the port river.
