🎣 April 2025 ABT Clarence River Wrap-Up | Floods, Plastics & First-Time Winners!

In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the mighty Clarence River in northern NSW for the ABT Daiwa Bream Series round held on March 29–30, 2025. Despite flood conditions and plenty of rain, the fish were there—and so were the stories.

Andrew breaks down the tides, bite periods, and weather before diving into interviews with some of the standout performers of the weekend:

• 🥇 John Parkinson – scoring his first-ever ABT win in the non-boater division.

• 🥈 Ethan Glover – still in school, but already showing up on the podium.

• 🥉 Joe Darmody – putting together a solid performance for third in the boaters.

• 🥈 Kris Hickson – fresh off the World Black Bass Championships in Italy, landing second place and dropping serious insights.

Plus, hear the gear setups, lure choices, bite windows, and a fascinating theory about how bream use rock walls as landmarks in floodwater.
