Episode 131: Bream Master SA, Glenelg River, Nelson VIC, March 22-23, 2025

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.
