Luring At Ic

[desmond]

Hi, every1 im new to the site.

Since reading this site, i got stuck on this soft plastic fishing, and seeing that iron cove is a good place to start thought i would give it a go 2 weeks ago.

I started down there about 1pm and fished constantly for 4hrs with nothing.. occasional bites, then as the sun was nearly gone, bang got a hit, no bites just straight hit n pulled up a bream about 36cm long, released and continued with 2 lost and lots of bites but no hookups.. I was wondering does ic fire up during the day at all?? im heading back there today... should i only fish night there?

Also i have a about a 4mtr tinnie with a 40hp on it if anyone with local knowlodge would like to join me in catching some pelegics sometime...

Thanks

Theres plenty of fish to be had during daylight, some of the best fishing happens in daylight. Try to focus on tides rather than time of day. Im also a local and have always done great on a run out tide and wading the flats at low tide also produces the goods.

I often target pelagics however the salmon are a bit slow to show up and where they have they have been very thin. In the next few weeks they should arrive in massive numbers, cant wait!

I ended up there in the evening till just after sunset. Nice place, damn cold though today

Didn't manage anything but a small bream following my lure at one point. I was using a charteuse lure with a 2.0grm/#4 jighead.

How did you guys go?

I did end up seeing 3 solid splashes in the water with the fish teasing us.

(This was my first time using my flick stick and actually using lures on a light rod/reel combo. Not sure if I was doing anything wrong or if it was just a bad day. Any pointers would help a lot.)

EDIT: if anyone saw me, I was the fellow wearing the fishraider beanie

where do we get raider beanies?

[DaveD]

Wattos or Fishfinder Tony. Send them a PM and they can either send you out with a minor postage fee or can purchase one at their stores. Not sure if they're in stock at the moment so PM would be the best way to go.

I was down the today till about 5pm.. Tried up past the bridge on parra side not city... Nothin one hook up n lost. (just too windy)

Then i went down to the rowing club on city side... too windy again, manage a flathead to about 35cm, he gave up a little fight.took a photo on camera phone.. then i gave up n went home.. cause of wind...

I use 3" ps worms and i do get constant bites, but cant manage to hook them.. I also had shads in pearl watermelon... do these work??

Would mind knowing what styles of retrieve there is and how to use them ...

these eco gear.. do they work during the day also.. Sorry bout all the questions, just keen to learn plastics, maybe i should grab a dvd any good sp ones targeting bream.

Thanks

at least you gave it a go mate a small bream is better than no bream well done.
