MAD BREAM ON PENCILS 2!

We continue with day two of our Breaming adventure in the South of Japan. We were blessed with awesome weather and it played an important role in the sight casting we were partaking in...


Day 2 started with beautiful blue skies cast upon the bountiful landscape...

Casting amongst the oyster encrusted pylons of the jetty with the DUO Realis Shad found this feeding Bream...

In amongst the Bream were also Seabass which were ambushing baitfish in the pylons...

Like the one before it, this nice Seabass fell for the ultra natural swimming DUO Realis Shad...

You can tell we were really happy with every single catch! This turned out to be a different species of Bream - the Yellowfin Bream. And its a good sized one...

It loved the IMA Pugachev's Cobra like all the others...

Then it was back to the monster Black Breams this place is famous for...

The IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 was the go-to surface lure and it didn't disappoint...

We had found a little sheltered bay with gin-clear water that held an enormous population. The Major Craft Benkei Light Spin rod did an amazing job with accurate long casts to them...

At the other end the IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 did the trick...

Almost every fish hooked was a trophy, and it had us stoked! How about this for a Bream?

On that visibly old face the IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 sat pinned...

Major Craft Benkei UL rod and IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 combo slayed it in the clear still waters...

Our gracious host Mr. Tsurusaki occasionally picked up the rod and showed us a trick or two...

Though they were there in the numbers we never tired of every different chase, take and strike...

Occasionally we would connect properly and be rewarded with a Bream many would dream about. With the Major Craft MS-X in arms every movement was sent through its ultra-sensitive blank...

And we have the IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60 to thank...

They displayed awesome colours and body patterns, and came in long, fat, muscular shapes. This is one beautiful specimen...

And they all lusted for the IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60...

Occasionally we would be thick in the action with multiple fish hooked. It all made for an amazing day on the water...

It was a day we wouldn't forget in awhile. And the fish kept receptive deep into the day. We could catch fish like this all day and come back for more...

Bream have amazing dentures with which they crush shellfish to get to the succulent meat. Here they are used to punish lures...

There weren't many properly placed casts which were ignored. These fish were gregarious in their appetite for shrimp and baitfish and went after every opportunity like it was their last...


We love facial close-ups and well-pinned lures. We left the fish biting late in the day, stowed our IMA Pugachev's Cobra 60s for another fight and sat back with a big smile as we made our way back...
