Hi Den,

Welcome to Fishingreminder.

One trick that works very well for bream...Use a small floating lure or a small popper. Cast the lure under or near over hanging branches, jetties, boats etc. Anything that throws a shadow or makes a structure for the bream to hide in. Then let the lure sit there for 10 to 15 seconds. Then just jerk the lure so that it moves just a little bit. Repeat that until you have the lure back.

What you are trying to do is imitate an insect that has fallen into the water. If you retrieve the lure in a constant movement it will not look like an insect. So small jerky movements with 10 seconds or so between.
