White Seabream fishing

Diplodus sargus

About White Seabream

A handsome, banded Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic seabream that hangs around rocks, breakwaters and reefs, foraging for shellfish, crabs and worms. It is a classic light-tackle and float-fishing target, taking prawn, crab, mussel and rag worm baits close to structure. Wary and strong for its size, it bites cautiously then dives for cover, so stay sharp and keep it off the rocks.

Typical size: Typically 0.3 to 1 kg; trophy fish over 2 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 2.5 kg (varies by region).
