Decided to do a solo bit of hardbody fishing at schultz canal this morning. The canal was seriously OVERFLOWING when I got there at 930am. Had to trudge around barefooted as there was mud everywhere. Less than an hour and I've got my first ever bream on a HB! Total exhilaration!! It went 24cm and it being my first HB fish, into the bag it went! Thanks Santa!

Next up Santa Schultz gave me a lil cattie on the HB. 2nd HB fish on the 2nd hour. Then as the tide went down, I fished under the bridge near the rocks and was rewarded with a 23cm cod. The cat and cod went back in of course, I'll get the cod when he's much bigger!

Don't own a camera and my phone camera is screwed. So I had to bug my mate to take a photo of the bream when I got home. Will upload it in a bit.

Have been hooked on HBs since a few days ago when I saw a bream jump outta the water snapping at my HB while I was retrieving it. Gave me a nice fright at that! So being my only 2nd attempt with HBs and my 2nd time at Schultz, I'm pretty elated about today's fishing!

It's a great workout I must say. Chucking HBs on baitcasters for 4 hours nonstop has strengthened my upper body! haha. It's definitely a great challenge to get something on an HB. Hope u get yours soon!

That's a DUEL (YO-ZURI) Hardcore Wo.B.RU mid-depth 60mm 11g floating-type lure. Bream and the cattie were caught on this. The cod was taken using a mid-water version. I'll put up some photos of these lures soon.

Bream was taken right at my foot near a rocky ledge of the river bank amongst some mangrove shrubs. Cattie in the open. Cod was hooked at a rocky bottom right under the bridge.

I'm still very new to HBs though. But I guess everyone would suggest casting near, in, and around structures. But it can be daunting when you've not mastered perfect casts and where there're strong winds as well. Dont wanna lose my precious lures! :P

All credit and thanks to Kiara for recommending these lures to me. They bloody do work!!!

I got an SX48 for chrissy so had to give it a try today. Paddled up Nundah creek and found a good channel. I got a Flatty first cast then in the next hour 7 bream, a catfish and a mulloway that was only marginally bigger than the lure.

I'm hooked now, better than SP's I reckon. Heres my first bream on a HB, smaller than yours.:( and the biggest of the day on a lure

Cheers,
