  • Episode Title: NSW Tournament Series Round 1 – Hawkesbury River Recap

    In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the iconic Hawkesbury River for a full recap of Round 1 of the NSW Tournament Series, held on February 9th, 2024.

    Host Andrew Death is joined by the top three teams from the event as they break down their strategies, gear choices, and the standout moments that landed them on the podium.

    In third place, Team Fanatics—James and Josh—share how their last-minute partnership came together, how they committed to the surface bite using cicada lures, and how they adapted to tidal shifts and wash fishing to lock in a 4.03 kg bag.

    In second place, Team McBarron Constructions—Jared and Brenton—talk through a patient, methodical approach with surface lures that paid off, including how they landed the tournament’s second-biggest fish, a 1.17 kg kicker that secured them the Fishing.com.au Kicker for Cash prize.

    Topping the field was Team Bait Shop Toukley / Force Lures—Adam and Jake Amos—with a winning five-fish bag of 4.55 kg, including the event’s biggest bream at 1.25 kg. The father-son duo dive into their pre-fish planning, their use of Force Lures Ziggy topwater lures, and the key moment Jake landed a crucial upgrade late in the session. In a powerful gesture, the pair donated part of their winnings to The Fly Program, highlighting the strength of community within the tournament scene.

    This episode is packed with technical insights into surface fishing, lure selection, leader choices, and how to manage boat positioning in tough conditions. Whether you’re chasing bream on your home water or prepping for the next comp, there’s something here for every serious angler.

  • In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we break down Round 1 of the 2025 Bream Masters South Australia series, held at Port River, Port Adelaide on February 1st and 2nd. It was a grind for the entire field, but we caught up with the top three anglers to hear how they managed to put fish in the well when others struggled to even land a legal.

    Your host, 2019 Hobie Kayak Fishing World Champion Andrew Death, chats with:

    šŸŽ£ 3rd Place – Paul Cook: Paul returns to recap another tough Port River round. He shares his strategy of working mangrove edges with bent minnows, paddle tails, and crankbaits. Paul explains how reading tidal movement and fish behavior gave him his edge, and how a productive 45-minute window on Day 1 made all the difference.

    šŸŽ£ 2nd Place – Gavin Howard: Gavin details his best-ever day on the Port, landing multiple legals on a Gulp Sandworm and riding that result to a solid second-place finish. He also breaks down how he ground it out on Day 2 to secure one vital fish late in the day—showing grit and persistence when conditions got even tougher.

    šŸŽ£ 1st Place – Lee Kirchner: Lee not only took the win but also helped run the event! He talks through his approach of using deep-diving hardbodies in heavy current and how staying calm under pressure helped him convert two key bites on Day 2. His ability to adapt and target pressured fish sealed the victory.

    šŸŽ¤ At the end of the episode, Andrew shares some updates about the future direction of the podcast, including changes to interview scheduling. He also speaks from the heart about supporting The Fly Program, a mental health initiative for men. Every membership to The Bream Fishing Project Collective contributes to this cause.

  • In this episode, we're diving into the competitive waters of Mallacoota, Victoria, where we cover the Daiwa ABT Bream Series Round 2 held on February 22nd and 23rd. This round featured the innovative Humminbird technology onboard Steve Morgan's boat, playing a significant role in the competition. Stay tuned as we roll into the details of how these technological advancements influenced the results and delve into the techniques and strategies that made a difference in this tight contest. Join us for an insightful episode filled with expert commentary and pro tips directly from the waters of Mallacoota!

    Mark Healy - Claiming the top spot again, Mark showed his adaptability and strategic thinking. Despite a challenging pre-fish day where he didn't find any significant patterns, Mark stayed committed to his spots. Utilizing a mix of deep cranking techniques, he was able to find quality fish in narrow, specific bite windows. His ability to stay patient and capitalize during these short periods of activity, particularly with a standout 39-fork-length bream, secured his victory.

    Mario Vukic - Coming in at second place, Mario also faced a tough event with hard-to-come-by bites. He navigated the challenging conditions by adjusting his tactics throughout the tournament, focusing on deeper water when his usual spots didn't produce. His persistence paid off on the second day when he tapped into a productive pattern near Goodwin Sands, targeting deeper fish that were less affected by the fresh influx of water.

    Steve Morgan - Known for his analytical approach and utilization of technology, Steve found success by adapting his strategies based on real-time observations from his fish finder. Fishing with live sonar helped him understand the fish's behavior, especially their movement in relation to the thermocline in the lake. Steve's methodical approach allowed him to target fish that others might have missed, contributing to a solid finish.
