The Iceman Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hit Port Hacking this morning for a couple of hours mainly to see how my outboard was going after previously playing up Happy to say it started first pull everytime Hung around Burraneer Bay till I was confident with the outboard for not even a touch fished pontoons and boat hulls Finally decided to head over to a favorite flat even though it doesnt fish well on the full moon in the morning Still managed a few small trevally and flatties on LIMPS(nickname given to squidgy lobbys with the dangly bits cut off and rigged from the head to look like a prawn)rigged on a hidden weight jighead Saw plenty of good bream in the clear water but couldnt get them interested in the limp so I decided to change to my favorite lure for that area even though I only had one left and they are near imposible to get a Tiemco stick minnow colour 007 First cast nice 30cm tarwhine second cast saw a big bream take it in clear view zzzzz ting(insert swear words)bream took the lure head first and the 4lb leader parted Tied on a berkely subdog fast becoming a favorite lure as it has performed well down in the basin for not even a touch Tried a few other lures for nothing and packed up and went home Now on a mission to get some subdogs sent away to be repainted in the stick minnow colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hatte Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeh fullmoon on the flats is always tough work.... Do you guys fish Tournie's??? Was there something on in the Georges-B Bay on sundee, had about 4 boats fly past us at 5.30-6 at captain cook bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHorse Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Iceman, well done for getting out, sorry I could not make it, spent ALL day driving backwards and forwards getting things done. Pitty about the lure How do you get the colours changed on the lures? I thought that the colour was combined with the plastic during manufacture. I have an airbrush with acrylic paints and clear coat.......... Glad your boat was ok. There was a tournament in GB. second place was a flatty at 89cm, winner was 93cm, I was told by a mate. I have always cut the tail flaps off the lobby and rigged it with the arms swimming freely..... never caught ANYTHING on them yet, which does not mean much considering I have only just starting catching the easiest fish on sp's.
