A little tip I used to employ to deter the bream on the river Trent was to hook them and then leave them to swim around amongst their mates rather than winch them straight in. This would move the shoal on quicker if one of their shoal was flapping around in a panic rather than winding them in out of the way quite quick when a lot of their shoal mates didn't notice anything amiss.
