dogtooth Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Hi Everyone , Had a fish in Georges river using lures , tried blade styled lures today after the success of a few other good mates of mine and was more than impressed . Soapie jew , blackfish , bream , baby snapper , flounder and to top it off the biggest whiting i had ever caught on a lure . Blades sure got the thumbs up today.... PS water upstream of como is very dirty and we struggled to catch a fish due to this . Keys are for COTM. Cheers Dogtooth....... John....

james7 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 John, that is a monster whiting!!! It's funny seeing a whiting nearly as big as a soapy! Which put up the best fight? What a top day out using blades. A good mixture of different fish - a real seafood feast. Cheers Peter PS Did the whiting also drink the crownie?

Whats the one tip would you suggest when using blades? Also were you land base or fishing from a boat? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewie had a better first run , whiting fought till all the way . didnt have a net so both fish were lifted in the boat under there bellys... I have a blade lure in the bag but never had any success. Whats the one tip would you suggest when using blades? Also were you land base or fishing from a boat? Cheers Im no expert but i was doing a simple lift , retrieve the slack and make sure the lure was on the bottom before another quick lift of the rod . you can really feel the blade working . on plastics i use a doule flick . All caught on a boat drifting , casting ahead of the direction your boat is drifting. cheers Dogtooth..... John.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Whiting are thick lately especially in the georges problem is most are under sized but at least they're taking surface lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Phil Boat drifting is when you have the motor turned off and you drift at the mercy of the currents or wind . That way you cover lots of ground . Have you been watching Fast and Furious lately ? or Drift racing ? Hope this helps.... cheers Dogtooth...... John.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
