Im ashamed to admit it but...I live in Ireland and have yet to catch a Bream!
But my excuse is that I'm only getting seriously into coarse fishing now after years of flyfishing.
Anyway...I have a river close by...its a very long river but the section I am considering meanders for maybe 15 miles and is quite narrow (20 - 25 feet) and quite featureless and to be honest a little daunting.
It holds Pike (quite hard to find but they can get very big), maybe roach (it does elsewhere) and definitely bream (spotted by a passer by who recognised dark humped 'backs' out of the water and I'm sure from my research its bream).
One section Im interested in starts at a road bridge where there is quite a deep swim/hole maybe 17 or 18 feet, right by the bridge....the rest of the river for miles appears to have quite an even depth of 4-6 feet in the middle section...and as I say...quite featureless above the waterline.
Can any of you guys give me some tips on where to start looking and best techniques, baiting etc for tackling such a venue??? Should I even be looking at a static or roving approach???
