Black Bream
Black Bream – The LRF dream. If you pay any attention to the light lure scenes in both Australia and Europe you will know that seabream play an important part on the species roster. In the UK, our seabream targets are limited however we are lucky enough to have one of the best – Spondyliosoma cantharus – the Black Bream. After the adults breed in Spring, the South Coast gets inundated with juvenile fish offering a sporting target throughout the summer.

This is definitely the year to tick this one off. Lure caught Black Bream.
Cornish Lure Festival 2014
It’s a week since the kick off of the 2014 Cornish Lure Festival and I have to say I’m not sure I’ve recovered yet – it was EPIC
After entering the Species Hunt competition for the first time last year, I’d managed to pass on my enthusiasm for the event to mates, Dan and Chris. Estelle enjoyed last year, even as a non-fisher, and was along for the ride again too. So with a rough plan built around the far from perfect forecast, and the two productive marks I’d garnered last year, we all met up in deepest, darkest Cornwall. Exciting!

Summer Bream
As I write this the football season has ended, the sun is shining and Daft Punk have released an album that gives me sunburn just listening to it. All of these things suggest that summer is fast approaching, Bream time!

Black Bream Fishing With Lures
I have mentioned before how much I look forward to my Bream fishing, the fine weather and flat seas compliment the hard fighting, colourful fish well and can signal the start of ‘proper boat fishing’. However with the wind not doing what its supposed to, combined with the wettest drought on record, the Bream’in has suffered a bit of a false start this year for me which is frustrating. However with a ton of lures and techniques to try using both LRF and HRF this year we are determined to make the most of what time the weather allows us to get out and yesterday (6/5/12) was an opportunity to do just that.
