Hi Doug,

I will be passing Lake Macquarie next week on my way to Nowra. Probably stop over night in Newcastle. I have never fished there but you certainly picked a great part of the country to live.

Yeah, bread works on bream. But I can give you a tip on the best killer bait for bream...

Cooked prawn head ! And it's free because you usually just throw them away. Or ask you friends and neighbours to keep them for you. Not hard to find this time of year with lots of people eating prawns over Christmas.

To prepare...Gently lift the head shell away from the legs. You are left with a small meaty piece with legs still attached. Put it on the hook which ever way you want. But what I do is feed the hook from the top through the meaty part and have the point come out in the middle of the leg rows.

itsaboat mate...Life is just a boat and then ya marry one !
