benny 1 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I use mainly bait as I fish for bream a lot and I get good results, I use hardbodies for salmon mulloway (unsuccessful though), snook and bream at times. I use softies for pretty much anything but I could only select two... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benny 1 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 lol ok I use bait the most. but i do use lures quite a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 This is tough, coz it depends on the species for me! I've had two trips out in the last coupla weeks, on one trip I only used lures and on the other trip I only used bait.For Bream I only use sp's or hb's (dependant on the area and depth of water).For Salmon hb's.For Snook hb's.For whiting bait.For shark bait.For slimeys bait.For Gar bait.Etc, etc, etc.So what do I use MOST? It will depend what fish I'm currently targetting MOST! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red_devil94 4 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 i use mainly bait although i am interested in soft plastics and tried them but caught nothing yet.. .hissy.i usually only target fish like bream, whiting, gar, squid, tommy's etc. as i get out very rarely (maybe once a month) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dabilda Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Bait & sp's I ticked, but could tick hb's too.Flies is what the aeroguard is for, always have that too.Really depends what is around on the day, in the boat 90% bait with a squid jig out or lures for Salmon, Snook etc.Landbased becomes more a 50/50 bait & lures.From that I'd have to say mostly bait but closely followed by lures.But I'm a fisherman that doesn't target a species, I go out for a relaxing day and target a feed. When I have enough I go home. Not really into C & R either unless they're under legal size. If I've reached my limit or they are not a fish I want to take home, I'd rather not catch them at all.

Steve-Bream-Fishing 4 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 HB's and SP's for me depending on the location I'm fishing and I will have one of each on a rod ready to go so I can change quick as needed even in open water the other day with Ranger, we were bait fishing and I chucked out an SP and bounced it across the bottom it got wrecked by those bloody puffers : but I will throw a lure and any species, 99% of the time its Bream loves me lure fishing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrMully 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I use HB 99.9% of the time, chasing,BREAM,MULLYS,STs, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hb's and SP's for me as long as I am on the land, once out in the boat it's a different story although the more I go out the more that is changing as well.Up the coorong it all lures but the ocean it's still slowly transforming with SP's being the way to go for most species.A lot of things will still only take bait but once they come up with SP this and that... well... the sky is the limit really.... ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake 1 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Use lures almost all the time now, but like to soak baits on those Beaches once the sun disappears for mullys, only after hours of lure casting though!!! Good question there bud.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jagger 24 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Pelli give em a go mate... If they are prepared to take them when it's night time I'm sure a little dirty water won't distract them too much.I have got many a fish in dirty dams with lures so I can't see the difference champ. It's easy to stick to what you know, but much more rewarding catching them in different methods than what you are used to 8) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pellipeeli11 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 giday jaggerconvinced myself early on that if people catch barra on them in dirty water they should work in our water ive tried a few up here never done any good,only snags .have tried rigging with hook point hidden just inside the sp.still snagged, also tried bobbing (like jigging only not as aggresive)for hours in and around fallen gum trees using various stiles of sp's no luck, :-\ mabee i should get my bream gear out and try casting with that? I just need to get the first fish i guess ! thanks for the reply cheers peelipeeli 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I use both bait and lures,depending on the species,conditions ect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brooksey_134 1 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 i use bait, soft plastics and hard bodies depnding on wher and wat im fishing for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyj 3,205 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Bait & sp's I ticked, but could tick hb's too.Flies is what the aeroguard is for, always have that too.Really depends what is around on the day, in the boat 90% bait with a squid jig out or lures for Salmon, Snook etc.Landbased becomes more a 50/50 bait & lures.From that I'd have to say mostly bait but closely followed by lures.But I'm a fisherman that doesn't target a species, I go out for a relaxing day and target a feed. When I have enough I go home. Not really into C & R either unless they're under legal size. If I've reached my limit or they are not a fish I want to take home, I'd rather not catch them at all.Once upon a time I was just a bait fisherman .used to take a seat and just sit and catch a few fish.Then one day a European wasp came out and stung me .A week latter in the same spot the swarm came after me.Thats when I discovered fly fishing And thats Salt Water fly fishing And just for Dabilda thats the way they fish in heaven :icon_lol: :icon_lol:Species so far Salmon TroutBream Mulloway hooked and lost either bust offs or spits .And when I see bait guys or gals sitting there waiting for the fish I now think gee that looks boring.cheershave a good one guys .

red_devil94 4 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 jus wonderin is it flies or flys? (the fishing ones) i know those little flying creatures from hell are flies :icon_lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stu83 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 flies......Beach/Surf = Bait.Estuary/River = Lures.Stu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerG 1 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I ticked bait then SPs but I also use HB and spinners also flyfish both fresh and salt.I mostly fish from the boat so it is bait on one rod, out sternwards, while I jig an SP over the side or sometimes a stickbait. I sometimes spin in the shallows for flatties while the bait rod is set in a channel for schoolies.I like to flyfish for trout and SP or spin/hb for redfin, sometimes spin for trout.depends on the day, but bait = Maggots, worms, grubs, yabbies, cockles etcwhich I prefer to catch mayself. Then little fish for bigger fish. SPs, spinners, hard bodies, stick/jig baits, jigtails and various combos that I like to make myself. Sometimes I will take a vintage lure from my collection just to see if they still work. Home tied flies both salt and freshwater though not so much these days. Oh! to be forty years younger.CheersRogerG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest undertaker Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 99.9% of the time is bait......though I have been "guilty" of using a surf popper for salmon at Browns and Salt Creek with a bit of success.Never really seen anything caught on a lure (except on TV),but,I did witness a young guy over on Yorkes catch an Eagle Ray.....perhaps 15kg.......on 6lb line with one of those "Prawn Star" lures.Great effort,and equally good release Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1fish 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 All the above depending on conditions and species also depends on how energitic I feel. ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ospray 1 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I use bait the most, getting into SP.Bait the most effective, 'cos I never caught anything on SP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
