Berleyguts Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Pillies on gang hooks, minimal weight, slowly retrieved, same as winter. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambofisherr Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks and what type of rig ? Sent from my LG-P940h using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Are you fishing the rocks or the beach? Either way, use the lightest sinker you can get away with or none at all. I like to use an Alvey and 4-6kg line. I don't think you need anything heavier. With an Alvey you want a good swivel ABOVE the terminal to minimise line twist, so I either run a ball sinker down onto the gang hooks with a swivel above it, or, if I want the sinker back from the hooks a bit, I have the gang on a short trace, then a swivel, then another short trace for the sinker then a swivel to the main line. With a thread line or an overhead, you can just run the sinker to the gang, or set back above a trace. Hope that helps. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks i am fishing on the beach Sent from my LG-P940h using Tapatalk 2 Then 6kg line is definitely sufficient on the beach. Good luck. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambofisherr Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks and what beach lures could i also use for australian salmon at garie beach ? Sent from my LG-P940h using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I use 40 gram metal/chrome slices. My favorite is the Halco with a hole through the middle that makes bubbles. You can buy them at BigW. Hope that helps.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Gillies Pillies work a treat, so do Riley's Red & White minnows As for a bait rig you cant beat a padenosta rig about 1 meter long with either a blue or red surf popper on the top dropper and a pilchard on the bottom dropper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambofisherr Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Do we need sinkers or swivels or anything else or do we just tie it on ? Sent from my LG-P940h using Tapatalk 2 Edited March 2, 2014 by sambofisherr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slice weigh 40 grams+, so they have the weight in themselves. Cast as far as you can, count to 5 (let it sink for a little depending on depth), then retrieve at high speed.

Berleyguts Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I use a swivel because I don't like tying direct to split rings. Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I use a swivel because I don't like tying direct to split rings. Baz I use one too Baz. Also, a good swivel helps with the line twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambofisherr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Also do I need braided line that weighs 4 to 6kg ? and a mono-filament leader tied onto the lure then to the swivel and then the braided line. What colour for the pilchard lure and the halco one ? Edited March 3, 2014 by sambofisherr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If you haven't noticed the Halco pics, they are chrome.....just like I mentioned in the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes tie the mainline direct to the swivel , which is clipped to the lure. Or, I use a heavier leader tied to the mainline with a double uni knot. Sometimes I use a double and tie the leader to the double. The leader is then tied to the swivel clipped to the lure.You can use braid if you want. Same principles but you would need a flouro or mono leader for sure. The metal lures are chrome.
