First Time Using Sp's

[Guest MRSIWANNAJEWY]

Well, tried fishing with SP's for the first time on Saturday at Crowdy Head (near Taree). Had a few bites, but caught nothing. Iwannajewy caught a blackfish on prawns. Then decided to try our luck at the Manning River yesterday. Iwannajewy had no bait so decided to use an SP and lo and behold, he caught a nice size flatty on his first flick I had no bites what so ever and Iwannajewy didnt even want to use SP's and he caught the fish, not me. So not fair

Hi Mrs' keep trying with the SP's , once you learn to do it right you'll love it , what gear are you using?, light graphite rod, smallish threadline reel, 6lb braid, 8lb flurocarbon leader, couple of 3.5 gram 2/0 jig heads and a few berkley plastics , thats all you need plus time and patience, you'll get amongst them.. Cheers..

Keep going with the softies . A couple of mates and myself went down the south coast yesterday to try our luck with plastic fantastic . It was one of the lads first time using SP as he is a dedicated flyfisher and about 10 minutes before we pulled the pin (he hadnt even had a touch , we'd boated afew fish each ) , he hooked his first fish . Wasn't he stoked when his 85cm flathead came aboard after a fiesty battle !!

Took a quick pic and back she went !

Cheers

At the moment, only using a cheap rod/reel combo that Mriwannajewy bought me at christmas time, until he can get me a new one especially for SP fishing for my birthday. Got some gulp plastics and light jig heads. Only first go at it, so once get a bit better I will get better plastics and jig heads and really get serious

Good on you for havin' a go, MRS IWJ That's the first step towards the dreaded 'plastics addiction' that has so many of us firmly in its grip

Keep chucking your 'Gulps' around whenever you get the chance. I hope you get to post a successful report VERY soon!
