bluefin

I heard a vacuum cleaner salesman, door to door sales, saying he had worked out that on average he succeeded in a sale every 19 houses. And the way he looked at a no sale was that it was just one more closer to the 19th. I really like that ! Every Donut is one step closer to a Big Catch ! 😍

Lap Top Yes. Need to know how many amps the computer and monitor draw.

Yes ! Always called it blue gill , Have they changes the colours ? I couldn't be wrong. Could I ? 😇

Atomic 38 in bluegill is my go to bream hard body. its a crank bait so slow roll it ! Quote from Steve Morgan, " if you think your going too slow, Slow down !" Have never forgotten it ! I like to hit the bottom a lot. Stirring up the sand !

I changed from a stradic fa 1000 to a 2500 purely for the retrieve speed. Picking up line when working a SP is easier. Didn't really see much difference in casting distance.

In summer I have a dedicated rod set up for surface, usually MMD Splash prawn. I use about 1.5 meters of 12 lb mono. As Drivin 21 said It floats. 12 lb helps it track straighter. But I have also used the splash prawn on 8 lb fluro and it works. Keep the rod tip up . Sugar Pen is more of a walk the dog lure so Mono would help keep it on the surface!

There are some days where they wont commit to the bite! Very Frusrating, Slow down, scent is a big plus, Sax scent prawn or crab. My secret scent is the Holt Production sax scent Prawn. It stinks ! Prawn Juice its called !

Hoods, Bream came from a 3 meter hole with fallen trees along the bank. Flathead came off a sand flat in may be a foot of water along the edge. The bream was taken on a 2 to 6 kg Daiwa wicked weasel. 12 lb leader was shreded when it dived into structure on the bottom. A great fight, earned its release ! Small flathead were everywhere. Happy Days !

Tried out the Rapala Crush City Prawn. Unique action. As you can see, it works !

Havent been out for a while. Gentlemans hours today 9:00 am start. 8:00 am high with not much run. It showed too. Lots of small flathead around. Only one keeper at 57, and a very nice bream. Flathead on 3 lb line. Yes Im crazy but it works for me strangly enough!

Really hard to tell. Is the tow point on the jig head Bent off centre ?

I like the idea of using the heavier coated hook version with the same penetration as the fine wire !

Fragmeister, It has been many years since I held one ! They were more like a shrimp with their hard shell. Could very well be! well done !

When I was a kid we used to pump yabbies on the sand flats, but also stomp in the mud of the ribbon weed beds to dig up a green yabby. Anyone know what they are called please ? It is also why I use green creature SP,s over weed beds !
