Bream

Black bream are the first of the summer fish to arrive and can be caught from the very end of March to the beginning of October. There aren't may places you don't catch bream but they do favour rough ground. Tides don't seem to be an important factor in bream fishing, the most important things being hook size (smaller the better) and concentrating on bites that can be hard to hit at times. The main baits are ragworms and squid although fresh mackerel can be good for a bonus fish. Bream are a common and fast growing fish but I still like to see spawned up females returned.
