Berleying

[1975]

Hi

This might be a dumb question but do you berley when lure fishing SPs and HBs? I haven't fished lures yet but its just a matter of time ( bought some grubs and lures - which i think is the most fun part )

Thanks

Hi dude,

I regularly fish Cowan Creek using SP's and found that berley makes a huge difference.

I do prefer a leisurely walk and flick at likely spots without using berley - hunting the fish so to speak...

But if I'm out for results, I'll berley up a likely area for half an hour and then jerk a BM, flick bait or grub around. Bream are suckers for that.

I say try it and see if it works for you.

Cheers,

Richie.
