Episode Details

In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the Glenelg River for the Bream Master South Australia round, held on March 22–23, 2025. This round was a Hobie qualifying event and delivered an incredibly tight finish, with just 50 grams separating second through sixth place. Join Andrew as he interviews the top three anglers — Kobe Rothel, Dylan Pace, and Sean Pearson — for a deep dive into their winning strategies, techniques, and bait choices.

Kobe Rothel shares how he cracked over 5kg using mussel-style presentations, while Dylan Pace reflects on a rollercoaster weekend full of long river runs, lost kilo fish, and a strong Day 2 comeback. Sean Pearson discusses transitioning from surface lures in pre-fish to a deeper bite during competition and explains how subtle rigging and lure changes helped secure his third-place finish.

We also break down the bite periods, tides, and environmental changes that made this event unique — plus a quick mention of the Australian Open wrapping up and the launch of our latest Collective Challenge: Crabs and Mussels.
