I was wondering when bream were going to get a mention - I've noticed my live mullet get alot paler after getting caught - could be stress or them just adjusting to the colour of my white bucket.

What sort of conditions were you fishing - I mean was it a sand bottom or mud - in the pylons, on a rock wall or sand flats -were you fishing off the bottom - was the water muddy or clear etc And what brand and size lure were you using? I havent tried white plastic for bream yet so I'm keen for any tips on where they work best |

I've noticed alot of guys using the Zman grubs lately - might have to grab a pack and see if I can unleash the magic within. Do the Zmans have a scent on them? --------------------------------------------edit-------------------------------------------------- Just looked up a description of them - that buoyant tail sounds good - sounds like it would also aid with a slower sink rate "ZMan brought the curly tail plastic back to life and into a new era with their 10X Tough, buoyant, super-soft and flexible ElaZtech construction. This gave new life to the curly tail, creating maximum action, even with minimal movement and at slow retrieve speeds. The built-in buoyancy also gave the ZMan GrubZ range a seductive tail-up action on the drop and a natural tail-up feeding action when at rest on the bottom, over time accounting for an incredible variety of fish species. Add to this the 10X Tough construction and you have a plastic that can be smashed and crunched time and time again, even by toothy critters and keep coming back for more.

Barra are quite partial to a drop bear slickrig! And various other big paddle tails in white are also very effective, more often than not white is the first colour plastic that gets tied on!

Yeah I just typed "Australian Bait Fish" into google images - its very hard to find one that doesnt have white as part of its colour scheme.
Sure theres other bottom dwelling prey items that very rarely show their white bellies - but if you are imitating a schooling bait fish - white doesnt sound like too bad an option |

Have had really good results using white for Jewfish. I don't know why but it's out fished every other colors I've used.

Yeah I've done a bit of experimenting with different colours for Jewies - but i always seem to go back something that looks like a mullet
