Instructions.
I have decided to share my Bream secrets for the benefit of all and especially for Buff who I am sure has not perfected this technique.
I have honed my skills to a dull point by almost completely ignoring Bream fishing for many years.
I am sure that if you all follow this step by step guide in future you undoubtedly will not catch anything.

1/. Stop trolling those expensive lures, it takes far too much effort.
2/. Anchor up immediately without any regard to the fishiness of your current location.
3/. Do not make up a specialised bream rig out of pure laziness.
4/. Take the SP off of your 1/0 jig head.
5/. Place one 2 day old cockle on the aforementioned jig head.
6/. Close your eyes and randomly cast the baited jig head in the general direction of the water.
7/. Immediately place the rod in the rod holder and proceed to completely ignore.
8/. Take out brand new camera and aim at a passing Clint Eastwood.
9/. Begin to slowly squeeze the shutter and!!!!!!
10/. Holy crap! Why is the line peeling off my reel!!!
11/. Panic because your hands are full.
12/. The tricky bit - Simultaneously place camera back in dry bag, untangle landing net from anchor rope and pick up rod.
13/. Carefully reel in large bream.
14/. Place bream in landing net.
15/. and most importanly gloat like you have never gloated before.

Follow these instruction carefully in the future then sometime before hell freezes over you may also _rse a very big fish.
