This week on The Bream Fishing Project, we’re heading back to one of my favorite battlegrounds — the mighty Georges River — for Round 2 of the 2025 Action Fishing Tournaments!

The Georges threw plenty of challenges our way, but it also delivered some absolute magic for the anglers who cracked the code. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the day's conditions, a few insights from my own session, and then we dive into interviews with the top three anglers who lit it up when it mattered most.

Joshua Richards kicks things off with a gritty performance fishing out of a no-frills Hobie Outback — no sounder, no 180 drive, not even a paddle! He shares how simplicity and good decision-making carried him onto the podium.

Next up, Jamie Dempsey talks us through his climb to second place, revealing how he tuned his crankbaits to perfection, pulled crucial upgrades from boat hulls, and leaned on a perfectly balanced finesse setup to make it all happen.

And finally, Jason Reid caps off the episode with a wild story of landing a monster 45.5cm bream on 4lb leader after a heart-stopping battle around the pontoons — a fish that not only secured him first place but also Big Bream honors for the day.

You’ll hear about tackle choices, lure selections, tuning tricks, and some crazy moments that made all the difference. If you’re chasing your next PB or just love hearing how tournaments are won, you’ll love this one!

Plus, don’t miss the updates on the next Action Fishing Tournament rounds — including Redcliffe and Tuggerah Lakes — and a reminder that The Bream Fishing Project Collective is gearing up for our next live session on Wednesday, 30 April.
