Hi Francophil.
Yes, it is possible to catch bream on the method.
With regards bait, it pays to get a good bed of bait out there to start with. Use a feature finding set up to find some clear gravel, preferably on the bank with the wind in your face. Once found get some bait out there, either with the spod, or balling in.
The initial feed should consist on a variety of sizes and colours. Use plenty of fishy pellets, of different sizes, along with a tin of corn, some maggs or caster some partis and maybe a bit of vitalin to bulk it out a bit. If you are balling in add a kilo of swim stim method mix, if spodding, just add enough to prevent the mix coming out of the spod on the cast.
Bait up an area of approx 5 - 10 yards around your marker.
For the method mix use a kilo of swim stim method mix, added to which is a couple of handfulls of pellets, corn and maybe some dead maggs or casters. No need to over load the freebies in the method mix.
The idea with using the method accurately over a bed of bait is that the bed attracts and holds fish in your swim, the method ball provides a parcel of attraction to pull the fish to your hookbait. So it may be worth to add a liquid attractant to your method mix.
Accuracy is vital so clip up, or use an appropriate technique if tench or carp are present.
Hookbaits I like to use with this method are either critically balanced corn or worm. But experiment to see what they like on the day.
Once you catch introduce a few more small spods of bait to keep the swim topped up.
Good luck.
PS now the autumn is around the corner, judge how much bait you put out by the temps.
