| 6/22/26 | ![]() EP206 | Cisco: Bass, Bream & BFS | In this first Angler Profile episode for The Lure Fishing Project, I sit down with Cisco Sevilla for a fascinating conversation that covers far more than just fishing. Growing up on the US/Mexico border in Southern California, Cisco learned his craft chasing largemouth bass around some of the most famous bass fisheries in America. Long before Australian bream fishing entered the picture, he was spending his days walking lake edges, throwing plastic worms, learning baitcasters and immersing himself in the bass fishing culture that would eventually shape the angler he is today. Along the way, he introduces me to a bass fishing technique called "stitching"—something I'd never heard of before—which leads to a fascinating discussion about how anglers approached deep-water bass fishing long before today's technology existed. After moving to Australia with little more than a suitcase, an address and a sense of adventure, Cisco slowly found his way into the Australian fishing scene. What began as a search for something to fill the gap left by bass fishing eventually evolved into a passion for bream fishing, kayak tournaments and BFS tackle. In this episode we discuss: • Growing up on the US/Mexico border• Learning to fish for largemouth bass in Southern California• Early bass fishing techniques and tackle trends• The old-school bass fishing technique known as "stitching"• Moving to Australia with just $300 in his pocket• Discovering Australian bream fishing• How BFS changed everything• Favourite BFS tackle and rod selections• Topwater fishing for bream• Texas rigging, crankbaiting and bottom-contact techniques• Tournament fishing and kayak competitions• Lessons learned from both bass and bream fishing Cisco is one of those anglers who sees fishing through a unique lens, combining decades of bass-fishing experience with a genuine passion for Australian bream fishing. The result is a conversation packed with stories, practical insights and plenty of laughs along the way. This episode has been edited for public release.

| 6/18/26 | ![]() EP205 | NSW Tournament Series, St Georges Basin – Is The Basin Back? | The Atomic New South Wales Tournament Series headed to St Georges Basin for Round 3, and while the fishing has been tough at times over recent years, there are some encouraging signs that this iconic fishery is on the rebound. In this episode, I catch up with the anglers who finished on the podium and break down the patterns, decisions and lure choices that shaped the event. First up, Luke and Dean from Flick Wits discuss how a last-minute pre-fish decision paid off, finding quality fish in deeper water and using LiveScope to put together a strong two-day performance. Next, Hallam and Marlon from Bream Burglars share their shallow-water approach, focusing on weed beds, sand patches and quality fish holding in surprisingly skinny water. Finally, tournament winner Jason Maybury joins me to explain how Team Shimano put together a dominant 8.7kg winning bag, including a 44cm yellowfin bream that secured Big Bream honours and helped create one of the largest winning margins we've seen in recent years. Along the way we discuss: • Why Hurricane Sprats dominated the event• Shallow versus deep-water approaches• LiveScope and forward-facing sonar tactics• Leader choices and finesse presentations• Finding quality fish after heavy rainfall• The return of healthy yellowfin and black bream to the Basin• How subtle location changes can produce tournament-winning fish One thing becomes very clear throughout these interviews – if you're heading to St Georges Basin any time soon, make sure you've got a packet of Sprats in the tackle box. There are also some fascinating insights into how different anglers approached the same fishery. While some teams focused on deeper water and forward-facing sonar, others committed to shallow flats, weed edges and visual fishing. The result was a diverse and highly competitive event that produced some outstanding bags and plenty of lessons for anyone looking to improve their bream fishing. Want More Lure Fishing Content?

This was a tough two-day tournament, with only three full bags recorded across the entire field, but despite the difficult conditions there were still some standout performances, including a dominant win from Grant Oliver, who put together two full bags for a total of 4.57 kg and secured his first Hobie Fishing Series victory. Host Andrew Death, the 2019 Hobie Kayak Fishing World Champion, was also on the water for this event and sets the scene for a challenging but memorable weekend that included changing conditions, strong bite windows, a daylight savings time change, and a few big storylines — including the season-long Batman and Robin battle between Simon Morley and Tony Petty.

| 3/16/26 | ![]() Ep 183: Hobie Kayak Fishing, Round 8, Burrill Lake NSW, October 2, 2025 | Hobie Kayak Fishing Series 2025 – Power-Pole Round 8 | Burrill Lake | Luke Rogan Takes the Win In this episode of The Bream Fishing Project, we head to the south coast of New South Wales for the Power-Pole Round 8 of the 2025 Hobie Kayak Fishing Series, held at Burrill Lake. What started as a calm, mill-pond morning quickly turned into an absolute washing machine of wind and waves, making for a very challenging day of tournament fishing. Despite the tough conditions, the anglers still managed to find some quality fish, with Luke Rogan rising to the top with a winning bag of 2.58 kg, ahead of Corey Lean in second place and Daniel Quarmby in third. Host Andrew Death (2019 Hobie Kayak Fishing World Champion) sits down with the podium anglers to break down exactly how they approached Burrill Lake, the key decisions they made throughout the day, and the lures and techniques that ultimately produced their fish. Event Overview Location: Burrill Lake, NSWSeries: Hobie Kayak Fishing Series 2025Round Sponsor: Power-Pole With strong winds forecast later in the day, the event launched early at 6:00 AM to give anglers the best possible window to fish before conditions deteriorated. Bite Periods Major Bite Window: 6:22 AM – 8:52 AM Tides for the session: High Tide – 4:26 AM (1.05 m) Low Tide – 9:38 AM (0.68 m) Even with a good bite window early in the morning, Burrill Lake fished very tough, with only a small number of anglers managing to secure full bags. Tournament Results 🥇 1st Place – Luke Rogan3 fish – 2.58 kg 🥈 2nd Place – Corey Lean3 fish – 1.88 kg 🥉 3rd Place – Daniel Quarmby3 fish – 1.82 kg Big BREAM:Wade Walker – 1.17 kg Daniel Quarmby – Third Place Daniel travelled five hours from Orange in Central West NSW to compete in the event and went into the tournament without a pre-fish. Starting on the edges with crankbaits, Daniel initially struggled to find BREAM and instead caught several pinkie snapper and flathead while searching the lake. Eventually he located fish holding deeper off a point and switched to soft plastics, using: Keitech Easy Shiner Z-Man Grub (motor oil) Light jigheads with a long fluorocarbon leader By anchoring in shallow water with his Power-Pole and casting into deeper water around six metres, Daniel slowly worked his plastics along the bottom and secured three scoring fish. His biggest fish measured 37 cm, helping him claim his first Hobie podium and his first tournament trophy. Corey Lean – Second Place Corey focused on deeper structure and drop-offs early, finding fish holding slightly off the edges rather than up shallow on the flats. Fishing lightly weighted soft plastics and prawn-style lures along a drop-off, he secured two fish early before landing his key fish for the day. One of his best BREAM came from beneath a pontoon boat sitting over deeper water, where he skipped a soft plastic under the structure and hooked a 41 cm fish on light line. As the wind intensified, Corey made the decision to head back early for safety, finishing the day with three fish weighing 1.88 kg and securing second place. Luke Rogan – First Place Luke’s winning strategy involved committing to fishing upstream in the creeks, despite hearing reports from other anglers that the area hadn’t been producing fish. Fishing crab-style crankbaits around deeper snags, Luke found BREAM holding slightly off the bank in deeper water rather than tight to structure. Once he located the fish, he quickly secured his bag, landing multiple quality fish to finish with 2.58 kg, giving him a clear win in the tough conditions. Gear and Techniques Discussed During the episode the anglers discuss a range of gear and techniques used during the event, including: Samurai Infinite rods Samurai Reaction rods Shimano Stella reels Atomic X8 braid Soft plastics and prawn-style lures Crab-style crankbaits Long fluorocarbon leaders Power-Pole anchoring systems Listen to The Bream Fishing Project 🎧 New episodes e | 50m 40s | ||||||
