2025 Daiwa BREAM Australian Open – Day 1 & 2 Deep Dive (feat. Tim Vickers & Steve Morgan)

In this first part of our two-episode special, The Bream Fishing Project takes you into the heart of the 2025 Daiwa BREAM Australian Open β€” one of Australia’s premier lure-only bream tournaments, fished across Sydney Harbour and launching from Drummoyne Sailing Club.

Host Andrew Death sets the tone with a sharp overview of the tournament structure, timing, and bite windows, before shifting gears into two of the most insightful, technical, and honest interviews you’ll hear all season.

🎣 Tim Vickers – From Bust-Offs to the Podium

We follow Tim Vickers’ incredible run across the first two days of competition. After a tough Day 1 plagued by dropped fish and difficult conditions, Tim rebounds on Day 2 with a huge 3.945 kg bag, rocketing up the leaderboard into third.

He walks us through:

  • Fishing tight timber structure with 3lb straight-through and a 7’8” Daiwa Infeet rod

  • How he managed fish that should have bricked him, using finesse gear, long rod angles, and clever boat control

  • The bite patterns in Watsons Bay, Clifton Gardens, Shark Island, and Double Bay

  • How lure colour, sink rate, and slack line presentation with the Pro Lure Hybrid Shrimp were absolutely critical

  • Mental game under pressure, leaderboard strategy, and the decisions that shaped his comeback

Tim also gives a brilliant look at his setup, mindset, and a few missteps β€” including pushing a hot spot too hard on Day 2 that came back to bite him on Day 3.

🐟 Steve Morgan – Precision Tactics & Big Bream in Crunch Time

Next, Steve Morgan jumps on for a full tournament recap, and it’s classic Steve β€” analytical, honest, and deeply tactical.

Steve dives into:

  • His stick minnow-only strategy and why it dominated under calm, sunny, finesse conditions

  • How he fished shallow moored boats with forward-facing sonar, presenting stick minnows with slack-line precision

  • The specific Daiwa gear, lure modifications, and hook upgrades that turned lookers into biters

  • Why he targeted eastern harbour over Parramatta River and how fish condition and location made a 150g per fish difference

  • His Day 3 heroics, including landing a 38cm kicker in the final minutes to leapfrog into second place overall, justedging out Mario.

Steve also breaks down his tournament planning, mindset, tackle selection, and how he thinks brim fishing coverage should evolve β€” making this a must-listen for serious anglers.


This episode is packed with real tournament pressure, decision-making under fire, and gear breakdowns that you can apply straight to your own fishing. Whether you're here for the story or to sharpen your skills, this is one of the most in-depth episodes we’ve done.

🧒 Stay tuned for Part 2 β€” where we’ll catch up with the 2025 BREAM Australian Open Champion for a full breakdown of the win.

Big Bream and Big Stories on the Hawkesbury – Daiwa BREAM Series May 2025

In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the Hawkesbury River for the Daiwa BREAM Series, held over the weekend of May 3–4, 2025, with Bait Junkie as the proud round sponsor. It was a huge event with fast boats, heavy fuel bills, and some massive bream hitting the scales.

We catch up with the top three non-boaters:
🎣 Rodney O’Sullivan – 1st place with 4.965kg
🎣 Aaron Bonser – 2nd place with 4.215kg
🎣 Aaron Booby – 3rd place with 4.1kg

And the top three boaters:
🚀 Peter Breukel – 1st place with 8.59kg
🚀 Mark Crompton – 2nd place with 8.51kg
🚀 Mark Healey – 3rd place with 8.37kg

We break down how each angler approached the comp β€” from chasing bream in deep current with UV crabs, to working rock walls and oyster racks, to high-speed runs up to Spencer and beyond. There's plenty of insight into tackle choices, bite patterns, Active Target use, and the key decisions that led to podium finishes.

🎣 Plus, don’t forget we’re halfway through our Mussel & Crab Lure Challenge inside The Bream Fishing Project Collective. Our mid-session catch-up Zoom is on Wednesday, May 21 at 8 p.m., and if you’re not in the Collective yet, join now at

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 β€” 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:

  • πŸ₯‡ 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 β€” despite a late penalty scare!

  • πŸ₯ˆ 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.

  • πŸ₯‰ Team Samurai Rods (Dan Mackrell & Declan Betts): From 25th to 3rd with a huge 6.54kg day two bag β€” 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.

πŸ’¬ 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.
