Welcome to Episode 172 of The BREAM Fishing Project, our first Monthly Fishing Report of the year, with Andrew and Brett Geddes covering a huge range of fishing, gear, community updates, and milestones from around the country.
This episode blends real-world fishing sessions, lure tinkering, tournament updates, and the lighter side of the sport with plenty of Boofhead Moments — plus an important conversation around mental health and the Fly Program.
In this episode we cover:* January tournament updates with Action Fishing Tournaments
(Raby Bay QLD, Parramatta River NSW, and Port Macquarie)
* A major milestone as The BREAM Fishing Project turns 3 years old
* Growing the YouTube channel and why listener comments and engagement matter
* Andrew’s recent sessions on the Cooks River, focusing on bridge fishing with forward-facing sonar
* Lure talk and experimentation, including Cranka Crabs, mussels, Baby Vibes, Squidgies grubs and bugs
* Tinkering with rigging ideas for surface and shallow applications
* Brett’s bass fishing update, including stocked fisheries, surface bites, and local sessions
* Flathead and BREAM sessions under pressure from holiday boat traffic
* What Cheeses Me Off and a stack of classic Bullhead Moments
* A wrap of sponsors and supporters who helped make the Collective challenges possible
The Fly Program – More Than FishingAndrew also shares his recent experience with The Fly Program, a men’s mental health retreat wrapped in fly fishing, connection, and time in nature.
A fundraiser has been launched with a goal of $2,800 to help support two participants who may not otherwise be able to attend.
