Every angler I know is now very worried arrived about where and why the bream have dis- appeared. The last place we caught big numbers of blacks was in Lake Wellington about a month ago. Those bream seem to have now disap- peared and even the straits from Hollands Landing is strangely quiet. Mario Vukic fished Hollands recently and scored just a single 46cm bream while searching there all day. My last visit was also sadly quiet and I scored just one 43cm bream in five hours. The signs are not looking good. But I always try to find a positive and it’s not all bad news because there’s an excit- ing new player within our vast estuary and this fish looks like it’s here to stay. The ever changing Gippsland Lakes envi- ronment has thrown up another incredible surprise. Yellow fin bream have moved in from the ocean and pushed right up into our vast estuary.
