I run 4 most times especially in comps but I do run 3 when I'm lazy or concentrating on one style of fishing or area I normally have 2 set up's for plastics one is usually hidden weight jig head and the other is normally a 1/12 head and so I'm covered from the shallows and all the way up to 5-6 m And depending on season I'll have 2 set up for blades or one for HB's and blade or one for top water and HB's I like having more rods rigged up cause there has been numerous times when I have been busted off then I pick up another rod and I'm on again the next cast I almost always use 3lb leaded these days but if I target flatties I might go up to 5lb but saying that I have landed a few. Flatties up around 70cm on 2lb without too much troubles Cheers Pete

How many setups do you normally run with when you go out mate? If you chuck diving h/b's it would be worthwhile still Pete

i think they said 46 fork length but not totally sure mate i seen him release it and it was massive!

Ah ok i wonder what way they will come out of the packet tho I like the rip minnows! that one with the black dot at the tail end could look like a prawn too Cheers Pete

Thanks for the kind words guys Getting fish in a waterway you have never fished befor is a great feeling and doing alright in a comp is even better Cheers Pete

Hey mate i chucked them heaps on the friday and a little the other 2 days and not much attention at all other than some flatties and i fished them super light too From what i heard from all the boys if there was one plastic working well it was lobbys but most of the guys up the top landed there fish on blades or hardbodys around the edges Cheers Pete

Lol Bushy fished the saturday and said he could only find flatties he told me so i guess my colour worked well considering

Hey mate i have started running straight through 2lb Yamatoyo and find it is good for blades and hardbodys but you loose a little casting distance when going light plastics and it takes a little while to get used to Im not sure with using it for top water as fluro sinks and might drag through the water too much I know alot of a few people use straight through with hardbodys and swear by it and i dare say it helped me last weekend when i was down mallacoota on the last day of the comp Hope i have helped a little cheers Pete

Yeah Wayne caught 8/10 of the bream and all of them on one of my blades but a slightly different colour They mostly fished the top lake but not totally sure where. I'm gettin some molds done real soon so I'll chuck a few your way mate. I'm also getting in some "walk the dog" top water lures that I want to paint up and try so I'll get you to test them for me when the water is a little warmer Cheers Pete

Wheres the "Like" button?

hmmm i could do the red spots in a red pearl colour hmmmmmmm lol and the salmon couldnt get enough of them i recon we had 15 on over the weekend easy

im getting myself one of them cameras!!!!

We live in such a beautifull country why would we want to go anywhere else hey top read buddy Pete

Great fish guys what a session And on a school day makes me even more jelous lol I wish i had a boat able to chase reds in but ill stick to the breaming Cheers Pete

They look great but the orientation of the way them move is wrong if it was to mimic a prawn as such but i don't think the fish will notice lol

Sorry for no pics of the bream they went straight into the live well Pete

Hey guys! Last weekend i went to Mallacoota for a 3 day fishing adventure We pre fished the friday in the pouring rain and at times it was hard to even see where the lure landed but we did find a couple of just legal bream (28cm in vic) a couple of bigger fish which pulled hooks on us and a few feistey salmon that i landed on 3lb leadder Saturday We started 36th and after all the rain they had and reports of fish being hard to come by i decided to try out in the first lake in deeper water. That move paid off for us with getting out 5 fish bag in around 3 hrs then we move into the top lake to try get a couple of upgrades. Straight away that paid off with a nice 34cm black bream comming aboard! things went quiet and after a couple of moves we got one more up grade then went back out deep for the last hour but could only manage 5 or so salmon again After weighing in and meeting the one and only Bushy we came in 25th over all and pretty happy with our fist days result Sunday Things started off well with landing a legal bream on the second cast but that suddenly changed when i pulled hooks on 2 nice fish that one would of been a bloody monster at around the 40 fork mark! The sun came out and the wind went which totally shut down all the fish so we moved into the top lake to try and find s couple of fish to help out bag The only action we had was a couple of decent taylor and a suspected decent jewie i chased with the electric for around 15 min befor he got freedom by cutting my 3lb leadder I noticed a few clouds coming over so we headded back to where we started the day in a hope that the clouds and wind picking up would bring on the fish again. With an hour left i decided to go for broke and chuck out my blades on my 2lb straight through fluro set up which paid off and finally got our bag with 15min to go Back at the weigh in and even with a smaller bag from the first day we still managed to go up to 24th over all out of 78 entrants and beating a few well known teams in the process! Biggest bream of the weekend was this 1.8kg monster black and a beautifull fish to see in the flesh Its a wonderfull place to fish and i cant wait to go back there as soon as possible to catch myself a bloody horse of a bream real soon All of the fish were caught on the one colour blade and I ended up getting all ten fish for the weekend but we both put in the hard yards and its a teams event Thanks for reading guys hopefully i go alright in the grand final in a couple of months time cheers Pete

Haha thanks mate free bump too I got to give you some of these blades soon buddy

Hey guys! Im going down to Mallacoota this weekend to fish in the Squidgy Southern Bream Series and was just seeing if anyone had any tips that could help me out. I have been told it's alot different fishing for bream down there compared to here in Sydney and i have also been told it is pretty hard going at the moment so i thought any little help would be great Ill be pre fishing on the Friday so my plan of attack was working drop offs with blades in the lower reaches of the system, maybe some rock walls with blades and plastics and the shallows with lightly weighted plastics, I run a fairly long leader already but i also have a reel set up with 2lb straight through fluro so ill give that a go too Anyways if anyone has any little tips they don't mind sharing it would be greatly appreciated and if you dont want to post up here pm would be fine Thanks for any help pete

i use an "improved Albright" to join the braid to leader and a normal blood knot from the leadder to jighead i just chuck a couple of more turns into the knot so it will not slip Hope that helps Pete

Top catch mate! I love the big square mouth blackies pete

Fireline is a fused braid Vanish is fluro and Sense is fluro too but its alot better than the Vanish and i have never had problems with knots so i wouldnt worry too much about that Pete

Mate i can do one for you if you want, im a fabricator by trade and im in the same area as you so send a pm if you like Pete

Thats a top reply mate! As for what leader the new Berkley sense is good for its price but leaders like sunline fc rock are great but a little more expensive I mainly use use between 2lb and 4lb leader for bream and 6lb for flatties but i have landed a couple of flatties up around the 70cm mark with 2lb pretty easily you just have to be patient
