Hey guys so headed down to my local creek this morning in search for some carp on plastics which was a success landing about 6 carp and an eel on zmans 2 inch grub in blood worm but they tended to dodge them if you had no scent on the plastic also had many takes and they’d spit the lure pretty quick
here’s some pics of the carp I landed
-
Yeah I’ll give that a try thanks
-
Yeah I know the only reason I run it is the system I fish has lots of snags and I’m often fishing off high banks making landing them hard
heres the pics
-
2 inch grubs I meant and yeah I think I’ll have to do that

Hey rick I tried compressing them but they still wouldn’t upload
and ive gotten some 2 grubs so I’m hoping that will do the trick and also do you think they would be shy of line because I ran 4 and 6 pound and was getting smoked to often so I’m now running 15 pound leader

Sorry guys it’s not letting me upload them

Hey guys been fishing my local creek a fair bit recently and have been sight fishing carp in shallow water with quite abit of success in using unweighted baits but a while back the fish were on spawn and where hitting plastics intended for bass so today I went down targeting them on plastics and sight casted it and had them hit it but quickly spit it out and they would only hit it when I had scent on I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions to why they are spitting the plastic
heres a couple I’ve caught in the past

Hey sickwolf was down there last week and I landed a 75 cm flathead out the front of the caravan park and at night got some live prawns and picked up heaps of whiting bream and flathead and the occasional flounder in a hole that’s out the front of the park and for the yabbies I was pretty sure they were getting them off the sand banks that where abit further up near the mouth
-
Okay thanks

Hey guys was wondering if there would be any spots around the Newcastle area I could maybe hook up to a shark like a smaller bull shark or whaler and if so what bait would be best to use as I’ve heard freshwater eel is good
