  1. i'm land based so only fish standing on the weir itself, although we have been doing some exploring and found a few spots we would like to throw a canoe or yak in below the weir, its impossible from land from what we can see. we actually found a very nice spot which we are pretty sure is relatively untouched so will spend some more time exploring it - had a lot of interest following our lures on the weekend but no takes.

    i will let you know if it turns out what we think it will

  2. it will be good to hear your report swordfisherman i've been umming and ahhing over a trip to glenbawn. hopefully you will bring back some good news.

    to all the other raiders all the best hope the fish are on.

    as for me probably just a quick flick thursday night at the weir and probably down wollongong for a beach session (fingers crossed) this weekend.

    if not, i'll console myself with some of fishing dvds and some mothers milk

  3. mate stand on the lower ledge of the weir (right behind you in the pic) and use surface lures at night back over the weir (towards the rowing club). the bass love them there and will often hit them just as the lure comes back over the weir to you, they seem to panic and think they'll miss out. also cast into where you were fishing for mullet every now then just to give the bass up top a break from looking at your lure.

    watch out for some young blokes standing on top of the weir as they have this very frustrating habit of shining torches into the water and they seem to shut down after that....your best bet when these clowns come along is to either go home or get on top and join them because you'll need to cast further out as the bass will vacate the area close to the weir.

    so grab some thongs and get your feet wet and get amongst it mate.

    good luck

  4. well done mate you helped me lose my bass virginity on monday night and now helping another mate out. champion bloke. i know you said you get dirty if you don't catch 20 squid but ten is not a bad catch mate.

    cheers bluedog

  5. thanks guys.

    first cast i got hit but missed what would have been my first ever bass.

    i met another bloke who gave me a different lure to try and after a fair while i finally nailed one.

    thanks for the tips i will be definitely giving the jitterbug another crack

  6. they seem similar to the new daiwa squid jigs which they say has a sliding weight system built in.

    just flicking through their 2008/2009 lures guide it says that the jig shifts the weight to the tail end for fast accurate casting and returns back to the front balancing the lure properly.

    not sure but maybe thats what the shimano jigs are designed to also do

  7. i've always used them head first and had no dramas.

    I've generally found that Tailor will almost always go for the tail first, so it dioesnt matter which way you rig them, as long as you have a hook point in the tail area

    yeah tailor tend to attack from the rear so always make sure you have a hook in that area
