How many of us still predominantly fish for bream?

Seeing a lot tackle talk mainly to do with heavier gear, I'm wondering, how of us here still lure fish for bream as the main thing you do rather than a 2nd or 3rd choice?

I used to go breamin' every chance I get as a first choice and if time permits, go for other species such as snapper, EPs, etc.. and breamin' requires a lot of attention to detail, ie. light lines, finesse techniques and found that on other species, they are much easier to catch when employing these techniques... And as a result, I find I slowly but surely diverted more towards these species and now I find I hardly ever choose to go chase bream anymore...

Wondering if many others have gone down the same path or still faithfully one-eyed about breamin'?

Just bream. Accessible and challenging - docklands is on my doorstep. If I had the luxury of more spare time I'd probably chase trout on fly but for the moment it's 100% bream.

Don't turn my nose up at a bit of by-catch though

Bream 99% of the time. Keep saying I should chase other species like kings, Jewy's or flathead, but always think "I'll just catch a couple of bream first to see where they are or if their where I think they will be or where I left them last time or ill just catch a few on surface, see if their still hitting cranks, try this new blade I bought.
Ok, I get side tracked and forget about the other species.
About once a year I plan a offshore trip and usually chase the big red bream.

50% bream & 50% Calamari

But 99% of the preparation goes into the breaming side of things.
