Swan Bream
Submitted by 420casts on Sat, 2015-03-14 12:13
Found a couple of spots holding alot of bream in the swan, not too deep but I can't hook many because of the blowies, I have had success with mulies on gangs, squid on single slightly weighted hooks and whitebait. The main problem I am facing is blowfish, so I need a bait they won't hit that the bream will. Any help appreicated.

As far as lures go, what sort ? I have a few jigs heads but they didn't seem to excite, and the same with mussels :s
We managed to hook tarwhine and Skippy as well, will they both be susceptible to lures also ?

Crabs
I use crabs In the Murray down here. I take a crab net and I've got fresh bait. I use the legs and I keep the body's and make chilli crab. Win win
shut up and fish

Distraction
The only way I ever got past the blowies in areas like that is throw a bait, or burley away from whear the Bream are, and the blowies will head over to it. = distraction.
Use large hooks and a bait you think the Bream will feed on, then cast it towards them while the blowies are busy. You wont get rid of all the blowies, but this will increas your chances of hooking a good fish.
Do this enough times and you will get a few, but it can take some time to temp big bream in some areas.

Try mulie cubes with the distraction grantarctic1 mentioned above, should work ok
Maybe try chucking pollard mixed with water in as the distraction, should have them swarming, just keep a steady stream going

We fished from the middle of the day right up until ~ 11pm, and one of my mates creatively decided to do that with bait and it did work, we just didn't wanna waste all our bait we had on diversions haha. We managed to hook up on the bream at 1 am the night after also, blowies were still in huge force.

If the blowies are still
If the blowies are still there at night I assume you're fishing under lights? If so try casting into the dark just out of the blowies' reach
