The trick with surface lures is patience. Fish them as slow as possible and then when you think you’re fishing too slow, fish slower.

Cast out, wait for the rings to disappear from around your lure, then twitch only enough to create more rings. Stop again and wait, then repeat. 
 

You’ll get them, just a matter of being patient.

As for spinnerbaits, you’re on your own there, I’ve never been able to get a fish on one lol. Apparently they are very affective, but I just don’t have faith in them, and I reckon if you don’t have faith in the lure you’re using, you’ll never have success.

Thanks man yeah I have tried the go super slow method still big fat zero I am talking like at least 10 outings than I put on a shallow diver with in 20 casts bang lol I am on

Gday all,

need a bit of help, been fishing for bass for only a little bit now been using poppers, spinnerbaits, cicada's and shallow divers lures the thing is I fish at night in a dam were bass are and I can only catch them on the shallow divers that's it. I know people have a lot of success with spinner baits I work them in different depths and different speeds still nothing.

any help would be awesome.

Yes, Neil, and I’m lucky I still have a job! Not so lucky I have lost $80k off my super so far though! Looks like retirement will have to be deferred and I’ll have to ride it out! I reckon we’ll be in total lockdown by Monday...

Berleyguts,

sorry to hear that mate but if you don't mind me asking is that through your work super or do you have a personal super account?

This has been brought up and while the idea of spending two weeks on a boat is appealing to some, it is not reality for others. 

sorry it was more of a joke trying to brighten the mood.

Good to know there is an application from the beach. What about via boat? 

I would say yes if you don't have circle hooks and chasing kings while trawling that could work

[Baitrunners - who still uses them?]

yeah man I still use them I have a 6500B baitrunner on my Wilson live fiber 13 ft 6" beach combo best bloody thing invented.

[After Rain Fishing]

so is it a good time to fish when they are doin it?? or not??

[After Rain Fishing]

has anyone seen groups of carp swimming in circles with their mouth exposed out of the water?? and does anyone know why they do this

[Life Jackets will be compulsory on Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Pt. Stephens.]

I think rather than say e.g. snapper rocks, avoca rocks..... etc etc lets put a blanket over most if not all of the rock fishing spots were people can be takin and say hey you want to fish wear a life jacket. I can see it from a safety side of things but due to a few bad eggs has I would not say wreaked it but made it for what it is now for us

I wonder how it is with the current wash of rainfall through though, Im tempted to have a look on the weekend, but I suspect it will be plenty murky, maybe down towards lion island might be ok, however, I usually fish upstream, at least past the railway and road bridges towards and or around Milson Island

man loin island will be dirty brown water as well we need a few very big king tides to wash it all away, I would think at least 1 month

The nanny state is out of control!!!!!! 

I agree with you that we are a nanny state but as much as I really don't want to fish with a life jacket off the stones I have to now cause stupid people take stupid risks, 90% of the fishing I do is rock fishing I have seen on some very rough days and I say narr not worth it while others will take stupid risks and gamble their life

[After Rain Fishing]

thanks all the dam that is close to me there is only carp and turtles that I know of (which I really don't want to catch any turtles)

[After Rain Fishing]
