Hi Pepsi. With corn I just put it straight on a size 14 or 12. Sometimes a 10 or an 8 if I judge I can still get bites or missing them. Good luck at Shiplake! For pre-baiting I'm putting in handful or two of corn and a pellets every night this week and will stop on Sunday night to give my swim a rest.

And then I will ledger with corn. Best bait on the Thames for bream.
Pm me later if you want a punt trip!

Lovely big bream. I haven't been bream fishing yet this year. I'm going to have to put that right soon.

That pike looks like he was keeping an eye on you!

Well done that man, i do like bream, but yes sad that they dont seem to get much praise nowadays.

Hi Santiago, What area of the Thames do you fish for Bream? I used to fish Abingdon Marina for them, (back In the 90s) and had some good catches. Even in freezing conditional. I had one good one at Lechlade once and Skimmers but they have always been quite localised in the area's I have fished. You can't beat Bream fishing.
