Episode Title: NSW Tournament Series Round 1 – Hawkesbury River Recap
In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the iconic Hawkesbury River for a full recap of Round 1 of the NSW Tournament Series, held on February 9th, 2024.
Host Andrew Death is joined by the top three teams from the event as they break down their strategies, gear choices, and the standout moments that landed them on the podium.
In third place, Team Fanatics—James and Josh—share how their last-minute partnership came together, how they committed to the surface bite using cicada lures, and how they adapted to tidal shifts and wash fishing to lock in a 4.03 kg bag.
In second place, Team McBarron Constructions—Jared and Brenton—talk through a patient, methodical approach with surface lures that paid off, including how they landed the tournament’s second-biggest fish, a 1.17 kg kicker that secured them the Fishing.com.au Kicker for Cash prize.
Topping the field was Team Bait Shop Toukley / Force Lures—Adam and Jake Amos—with a winning five-fish bag of 4.55 kg, including the event’s biggest bream at 1.25 kg. The father-son duo dive into their pre-fish planning, their use of Force Lures Ziggy topwater lures, and the key moment Jake landed a crucial upgrade late in the session. In a powerful gesture, the pair donated part of their winnings to The Fly Program, highlighting the strength of community within the tournament scene.
This episode is packed with technical insights into surface fishing, lure selection, leader choices, and how to manage boat positioning in tough conditions. Whether you’re chasing bream on your home water or prepping for the next comp, there’s something here for every serious angler.
