Experiment with different hook depths until you find one that seems to
be working. Sometimes the bream stick close to the bottom and other
times they are closer to the surface. It's hard to predict which mood
they will be in so you just have to feel it out.
If you've caught a few bream and then they seem to stop biting, try a
different depth or try moving a few feet away from your original spot.
Often this helps get them biting again.
Many seasoned fishermen will tell you that when it comes to bream, it's
all about the bait. Once you find out what the bream are biting, you
will have them practically falling in your lap. So how can you know
what bait to use? Your best tactic is to try to bring along several
different types so that if one doesn't work, you can switch out with
something else.
Many bream fishermen claim to have had success with live
baits such as worms, small insects and crickets. Many people use this
bait and fish around brushy areas. Many bream fishermen claim you can
put literally anything small and meaty on a hook and cast it in the
water and get a reaction if the bream are there and biting. Some people
also like Scopex pellets or cut worm work nicely as well.
While most fishermen stick with live bait for bream some also
claim success with small jig and flies corresponding to the size of the
bream and even with bread, cheese and other food items which were
available at the time.

ditching the rod and reel completely and net fishing to see what you
round up. Now that you have these basic bream fishing tips and
guidelines, you are ready for your next fishing trip.
