Lures

[Reeso]

If you were just going to get one lure that worked pretty well in general for most popular saltwater estuary fish, which would it be? Im just after a general soft plastic or hardbody lure that can catch a range of fish on any given day, like flathead, bream, whatever.

This is a pre-emptive reply. These are the answers you will get!

SX40/48

Bass Minnows

Hawgs

Bugants

Poo eater grubs

And my favourite.......2 inch Atomic Fat grub in Green Gord.

G'day Reeso

For me it's the 3" Bass Minnow in smelt colour for SP's.

In HB's it would be the Sydney Guppy #306 SX-40.

if i was to only have one lure it would be the top catch golden prawn

this sp has got me flatties, flounder, jew, snapper, trevs, tailor, estuary perch, bream, happy moments, numb ray, pike, toads & flute fish

3" watermelon bass minnows are my pick if I could only use one lure. They've accounted for bream, flathead, flounder, whiting, blackfish, snapper, kingfish, bonito, watsons, frigates, tailor, salmon, amberjack, jewfish, squid, cuttlefish, crabs, EPs, bass, slimies, yakkas, mullet, pike... and that's just this year...

I've still never tried lure fishing except for trolling kahawai but I'll keep a record of them 3" watermelon bass minnows..........however I'll prob have to fly over to get em. then maybe we could have a social so someone could show me how to use em

Yea' Joe, bass luv 'em. Here's one that went 49.5cm, caught at Glenbawn last year on a Ginger Beer coloured BM...

Joe the pommy one

[Slider]

Yeah plenty of people use bass minnows on bass Joe. If I'm river bassing I often rig one weightless/weedless and throw it into a snag, works a treat.

Cheers boys.

If I could find one again I would say the Little dig lure.

These were a soft bibbed lure that had a real nice action a little like a tadpolly the bib was malliable aluminium and you could adjust the angle and get different depth and action. I caught heaps of flat head and bream on it in the lane cove river trolling from a canoe in the 80's. It caught heaps of bass in the nepean. It was always the first lure I tied on back then. sadly lost to a snag

Now I am fast falling in love with the soft plastics paddle tails and the hawgs in watermelon.

Hi mate,

I would go the Attack Lure for a hard body.

Soft plastic - still playing with them at the moment.

Cheers mate

Fares are cheap as. Gives us another excuse for a social

Will do Pedro, look forward to doing just that to meet all you guys and to learn about these SP's.

.........and maybe sink a few
