Bream on lures at night?
Has anyone , or does anyone deliberately lure fish for bream at night?
I am reminded of guys bait fishing at night and or so early that it was still dark. I also chase Cod and the trend there is to put in as many hours in the dark as during the daylight hours. |

I've caught many bream at night on surface lures. It's probably the most effective time to use them. The water's surface is usually calm, so the noise and disruption attracts bream from far away. The surface lure is probably silhouetted against the night sky, making it easy to see for them.
Another plus of using surface lures at night is, you don't have to worry too much about snags and water depth, saving you from getting hung up all the time. I haven't tried using normal diving lures at night, but they're effectiveness usually increases as full darkness approaches. I'd say they would work a treat. |

Black would probably be the best, as it would stand out against the sky, but seeing as how I don't own any black surface lures, I just use what I've got, which are usually semi-transparent in a variety of natural colours.

Some not all baitfish flouress at chin and ass when in distress, prawns and other critters do too hence my use of uv coatings on lures.
Dirty or coloured water has me turning to my own concoctions on HB's and plastics. Big advocate for uv orange and motor oil. |

I used to do a lot of fishing for a few hours after sunset using Grubz and Slim Swimz with a heap of scent on them, fished very slowly around jetties. Picked up lots of bream and perch. Most of the time now I'm fishing small, floating hardbodies just on sunrise around flats, when its still dark, casting the lure at any decent ripple in the shallows. I twitch the lure a few times to get their attention, then just sit it on the surface. Works extremely well. But if you're fishing pressured areas, after dark is usually a much better time to get lure bream than the day.

G,day I've been doing a fair bit of lurefishing at night mostly chasing lizards around park lights on the hightide been going really good and picking up some good bream as well, the standout lure has been a clear sinking stickbait with a silver strip down both sides, one thing I've found is to slow right down the takes can be brutal.

The Nendathalls running the Agencis that import the dross we see on shop walls have a 30 years ago mediocre fishermen background and then get miffed if we DARE import what is actually appropriate. |

I started out using a tiemco that I modded to match the baitfish the lizard's where coughing up but got some cheapies from the local baitncrackle that worked even better, look on alibarba or aliexpress there's a few companies boxing DohDohDohDoh up and ripping fisho,s off. $5:60 don't hurt as much as 14:00 a pop.

Most of the bream I've caught have been right on the edges of the light pools standing a fair way back seems to work best before moving closer in the flyfishing at night is already in the pipeline just have to refine my flies a little bit more.

Thanks for the info will post report even if its a fail. Plan b is a 10'6" Shimano and plastics for the back beach and plan c) a bundle of slow pitch jigs for the deep hole at the river entrance on the lake side In the past sounder has shown decent marks in the deep so fingers crossed. Cheers |

No worries sometimes the best ideas come from keen observation and modding something up and braining fish is the best.
