🎣 Vic Bream Classics 2025 – Club Marine East Gippsland Bream Classic Location: Gippsland Lakes Dates: March 22–23, 2025

This week on The Bream Fishing Project, we head to Gippsland Lakes for the Club Marine East Gippsland, Round 1 of the Vic Bream Classics 2025 series — and what a cracking round it was!

With Gippsland Lakes absolutely firing, we break down an epic weekend of bream fishing, from record bags to monster upgrades and wild rides in the straits. Hear from the top three teams:

• 🥇 Team Zero Technique (Josh Jeffery & Connor Jackson): The new kids on the block stormed to victory with an incredible 6.86kg day-one bag and a 410g win margin — despite a late penalty scare!

• 🥈 Team Lowrance/Miller Rods (Paul Malov & Alex Franchuk ): Two second-place finishes in a row for these seasoned anglers, who share their tactics, heartbreak losses, and 21-rod tournament setups.

• 🥉 Team Samurai Rods (Dan Mackrell & Declan Betts): From 25th to 3rd with a huge 6.54kg day two bag — the guys dive deep into the strategy behind their comeback and the moment it all turned.

Along the way, you’ll hear how baby flathead, elephant pants, and mid-comp dance moves all played a part in this action-packed round.

💬 Plus, stay tuned for tide and bite period data, lure selections, structure breakdowns, and an interesting discussion on how rod selection might be the key to landing big bream in gnarly snags.
