micren Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi , My Name is Mike, I am somthing of a beginner fisherman & have been invited to Wagonga Inlet, Narooma to go fishing with my mate,who has retired down there 1 year ago. We will fish only the inlet in a tinny with a 20 HP motor ,mostly at the Oyster leases South West of the bridge. His favoured bait is Fresh Mullet strips. I would like to have a go with soft plastics. I have had limited success with plastics but mainly the tails being bitten off,with no fish staying on. I would appreciate any advise that could be given, to have the best rigs & lures TO CATCH just ONE big Bream or Flathead. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew399 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 good fishing around there! Mullet strips will be heaps good around the oyster leases. For the best chance of a bream or flatty on sp's get some gulb grubs in 2inch pumpkinseed and match to a very light jighead ie 1gram or less. Cast that along the oyster lease and let it sink to the bottom, then bring it back to you in a series of light flicks. Should put you in the running to catch some good bream or flattys!

micren Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks Dicko, I will certanly get some pumpkinseed Gulp . I am going to get some Braid line for my 2 reels [a 1000 & a 1500 size eggbeaters]. I have not used braid line before. Should I tie the jig head direct to the braid or use a trace & swivel. I have only caught 1 small taylor on soft plastics but that is only in 2x 5 hour sessions ,I am brand new to plastics fishing! Would something that looks like a Prawn or a Worm ,also be options for the Leases? I have read on the Web it is very important to feed the SP onto the jig head very straight,mine do not. Is there a special way to achieve this? Again, any advise would be greatly appreciated! Regards & Good Fishing Mike good fishing around there!

Hodgey Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Mike PM Hoges1974. This is his stomping ground, and his Dad still resides in Narooma. If you are looking for a change, wander down the road to Tuross and I will sort you out Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew399 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I dont think that brais is absolutely necessary. I dont reglarly fish for bream on placcies (too hard for me!!) but when i do up in clarence river i use 4lb flourocarbon the whole way through. This will probs be too light around the leases though. If you are using braid id say definately attach a flouro leader, maybe 8lb, but not with a swivel, just connect the lines with an albright knot or similar joining knot. Prawn style lures will work, as will gulp sand worms cut in half. Given that your new to sp's id say stick to gulp as technique is a little less important because of the scent attractant. So a gulp prawn would also be good. The squidgy dvds are good at demonstrating how to rig them straight, but you will do it fine just by lining up the hook on the sp and then threading it through slowly. Having them straight is very important. You can test them out just by dragging them through the water, if they dont swim straight then they are not rigged correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
