Matt Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Nice EP, don't want to be a party pooper, but remember though it is closed season shortly (June 1) on EPs in NSW so deliberately targetting them is a no-no. Mods, remove my post if its deemed inappropriate Its still open season though for a few more days - I tend to target them up rivers and estuaries looking for them deep in snags and cover. The best snags seem to be those in deeper water I find and I have a preference for 'hard' snags, ie rock faces and bars/walls. Always seem to do best on Pumpkinseed colours and smaller plastics such as 2" Grubs/Critter/Hawgs patterns or Prawn imitations. One of the best EP lures I ever used was a tiny 2" DOA Grass Shrimp but I can't seem to find them anymore. They also don't mind a bit of surface action, had some cracker sessions first thing in the morning with small poppers etc although for a fish that looks like it should be a surface feeder, they have an abysmal strike rate when hitting a popper!
