Again, not in my experience. Once those snotty ****s get on the bait they are relentless. I've had 3lb bream on double 24mm baits long hairs. They couldnt even nearly get the bait into their mouths and yet I was catching them. I found a scattered boilie approach best, don't attract the things in with particles and pellets and you've half a chance. I've heard people say garlic baits don't catch bream but that's rubbish too

Fill in one area with a sack of pellet, corn and vitalin, give it 24 hours then fish your selected spot away from the hordes.

I've also found big baits, small hooks and short hairs to slow them down too

If you think bream are a problem then chub are even worse! Its doesn't seem to matter how hard, how big, or how many baits you have on the hair - nothing stops them!

That's a fact. They are a nightmare. Once they arrive on the spot, i stop Baiting up till they are gone

3lber on a 3rd of a tin of spam and another on 4 20mm halibuts, both intended for cats.
Anyone familiar with swangey in Norfolk, without doubt the most bream infested lake I've ever fished. I gave up on the carp as it was impossible to keep anything other than a live bait in the water.

3 inch hair, and a single 20mm bait, that should stop them but expect a few pulls and beeps. I used this tactic on a lake with a lot of tench, I got absolutely sick of catching them, this made a bit of a difference me
Another tip, fish the margins less bream, and catch tench

Stick some Cherry carp boilies in, that'll slow them right down 
i fished a water that had big bream and only a few carp, and i ended up fishing 2 x 20mm boilies on a long hair, and the carp had no problems with this, and i had a good season,

I've heard that about black pepper aswell thinking of giving it a go myself . On the section of river I fish 7-10 bream in an overnighter is not uncommon they are a nightmare and doesnt matter what hookbait is used , I've had them on 3x 18mm , 4x tigers , long hairs , short hairs you name it . So I'm gonna find some sort of black pepper glug/dip to soak hookbaits in anyone got any recommendations please

Stiff rig with a large hook and not too small hookbait seems problematic to the bream. Still lots of beeps, pick ups and everything you don't want, but the percentage of bream that hang themselves goes way down. Big, boring, hard boilies as loose feed also helps, but imo you also notice that in the amount of carp you attract, so not a fan of that.
It's a problem yes:P
