East-coast estuary bread-and-butter from northern QLD to eastern VIC, the classic NSW bream. Targeted with light bait, hardbodies and surface lures around oyster racks, pylons and rocky structure. Crafty and structure-orientated — the foundation of east-coast tournament fishing.
Generally fished with light tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
