Australia-wide, bream have to be one of, if not the most fished for species in our sunburnt landmass. This is mainly because they are available all around the country!Â
Most seasoned lure anglers would agree that fishing with topwater presentations is by far the most exciting way to fish, and this also extends to bream. Watching a dozen or so contentious bream shoulder one another as they chase down your lure is as good as it gets for any bream tragic. The tell-tale ‘kissing’ sound as they attempt to slurp their next meal off the top is enough to get hairs standing on end and nerve endings tingling.
One of the many great qualities about bream - and there are many - is their willingness to embrace urban development. In all of our big cities around Australia, bream (of varying species) can be found in the adjacent waterways, and to clued in local anglers they make excellent sport.
Across the nation, bream would have to be one of if not the most available sportfish, and hardbody crankbaits would have to be the most useful tool for bringing them unstuck.Â
