wdfish Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well done mate, you must have been absolutely pumped with that effort..great stuff. I'm interested to know what sort of SP you were using as lately I have started on SP's and I'm using berkley Gulp 3" shad and saltware powerbait in a 3" minnow. A few nibbles, have had a couple of kings take a real long look at the shad down near Lilli Pilli but no hits as yet!!! Good on ya Cheers Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well done I would start looking around now to get a feel for what is available and price. Then in June on wards you will know a good buy when you come across it. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy4x4 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) Good work... It had better be beginners luck, for my sanity. I'm still trying to land something worthwhile on SP's. It's a good feeling though, keep it up. Just out of interest, what SP were you using? Edited January 31, 2006 by Muddy4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, what SP were you using? i was using a swimmer grub in pumpkinseed, with a 1/8th jig head as for the boat, i have been told to wait until june/july for a boat too...might be a good idea..
