when you work out the fish biting pattern and especially the depth at which you're fishing, then you pretty reasonable can assume the jighead weight that you require to get the fish on the chew.

Finnesse fishing is still a requirement whether the current and wind play a little havoc or not.

For example, you can have a fairly strong current, and have found a school of fish at a particular depth and go 1/8oz, but then, it'll sink too fast out of the fish biting zone. You won't catch one. You may have to go lighter, fishing more "finnesse" and get the lure into the strike zone. That's the difference between knowing what to do when the fish are in this situation and just putting on a heavier jighead cos the current and wind is a bit up.

Bream are at most times fussy. They get picky and finicky with water flow, moon phases, depth of water, etc.

For example, down the Nerang River in Qld, the current can get a quite fast, where controlling the boat is a pain, especially when you're using up a lot of battery power doing so for a length of time. 1/12oz or 1/16oz could be considered too light fishing in these conditions, however, at times, in certain areas along pontoons and in the bridges, the fish may be feeding up the water thermocline column, and thus you wouldn't go heavier, otherwise, they'll not bother with it.

You have to find the feeding pattern. This is why SP fishing is a great sport. It's a thinking game. It's not just casting in with woteva and fishing........ this is angling.
