    3lb Fluro straight thru

    in Saltwater Fishing Chat

    Posted

    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

    Nice work mate...glad your blades worked well...did you chuck any bw wrigglers?

    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

    Caught an episode of ifish filmed at Mallacoota with Bushy showing Paul a thing or to in relation to black bream on blades.Bushy swore by a phantom colored blade in that particular waterway. Bushy landed a number of decent bream on the phantom colored blade, whilst. Paul had little to show using a different color.

    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

    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

    Hey guys!

    Last weekend i went to Mallacoota for a 3 day fishing adventure :)

    We pre fished the friday in the pouring rain :1badmood: 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! :ranting2:

    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 :)

    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 :1prop:

    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

    Leader necessary?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Okay, thanks mate! Hopefully after this wet weather patch I can go and give it a go!

    Oh, also I forgot to ask, are the knots for fluro the same as mono? Or will I have to learn a new set (like braid)?

    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

    Are Berkley Vanish, Sense and Fireline considered flure line or braid? I'm a little confused haha.

    I might use mono for the leader as I have been reading that the fluro's knot strength isn't too good. I'm not too sure.

    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

    LIVE BAIT TANKS!

    in Boating

    Posted

    hey raiders..

    we just got a brand new 4.15 savage baycruiser and just looking to get a live bait tank.

    im abit unco-ordinated when it comes to building things so building a tank or installing one myself is not a good idea.

    just wondering if anyone knows someone that sells and installs? if someone could give some suggestions it would be good ..

    thanks heaps

    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

    Simple answer is yes, you will need some sort of leader with your braid.

    There are some exceptions but 98% of the time that is the way.

    Whether you use flourocarbon or mono leader is the biggest question.

    Flouro for less visibility, less stretch & it sinks, or mono for more stretch & it has more floatation.

    It's a big can of worms & whole lot of learning you will need to do but for your general light tackle s.p fishing for bream, bass, flatties & whiting use a light flouro leader tied to your braid.

    Use the search tool on the top right of the page to find all the info you need on leaders & knots.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Grant.

    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
