Wellzy94 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hey raiders! Today saw my partner @Hamilton (who finally has an account and needs to introduce herself *wink wink*) headed down south with some friends. Armed with a mix of plastics I was determined to have a solid crack and finally land one. Quick off the mark my mate landed a 33cm Flathead on plastics, while I was rigging up a complete newbie to fishing. Filled with excitement I quickly threw on a 3" minnow and got started. 4 casts in and nothing, so I move a few metres across and cast out. Two gentle twitches and BOOF! Landed a nice 38cm flatty to mark my first fish on a soft plastic! Newbie caught some throwbacks and a nice leatherjacket, and after a few hours of not much going on, we packed it in and called it a day. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellzy94 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Fab, it was real quiet until about 10am when people started showing up. Thanks scratchie, but that's my partners hand lol! The little guy was flipping around so she quickly held him in place for a happy snap, then swam him away Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaniFIN Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 SP fishing is nice. Did try virst time 2009 in Australia, but start it in Finland 2011. After that i have been 95% only with SP on summer. It is so easy, no bait worms or bait fishs looking, cheaper lose SP's that hard bodys, and you can fishing every deep levels, and main think, you can fishing really accuracy and you can fishin on bottom.

Wellzy94 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think I'm 100% converted to SP fishing now lol! I forgot to mention as well, I caught a small blackfish on a live nipper. Not the intended target, that's for sure! Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest123456789 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well done Wellzy beautiful looking fish. Don't be scared to add some pro cure scent gel too when using plastics suspended or on the surface ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
