  1. I will start by saying that i have never caught a metro YFW but......................................... have caught a few at Pt Vincent I generally catch & use the nippers same day but I guess if you keep em well they'll be ok. So, low tide to collect then fish the run in tide almost straight away, running ball sinker, # 4 or # 6 long shank hook. I walk back in with the tide until the bite stops. I've seen folk @ Seacliff catching at both low & high tide, the tides aren't bad tomorrow so I'd try Seacliff around the low. Hope this helps & let us know
  2. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-16/gippsland-lakes-commercial-fishing-ban/11606266 It proves what can be done with a little Government determination. Obviously not everyone is happy but the majority are the winners. Perhaps our mob could take a leaf out of their book? The compo packages seem generous enough, wouldn't have thought that to many pros were making big money in the area. (not sure why the link isnt blue?)
  3. Cheers Softy. Might have to head to the Wheaty to celebrate This is the scientific method i used for my guesses
  4. Woohoo how bout dat thanks to Savage Tackle & Strike & Hook for putting the comp on
  5. After watching doobies vids I think the secret is to be a spotty teenager (no offence meant guys, great vids )
  6. If Spot-on doesn't work out they will know who stocks the boxes & if no one does they may be able help you out
  7. perhaps you should give these guys a http://www.sabaitsupply.com.au/ Hopefully they can help you out
  8. I hope you get better soon, I hear Vertigo can be a bastaard of a thing. Havent had a chance to try out any of the advice, feeling a bit better but the cold air sets me off so patiently I wait
  9. Lots of fantastic advice, thank you all I was hoping to give them a try today but the family is too caring & sharing................. They've been crook & now I am too, great! Haven't left the house all day, goin' stir crazy At least there's youtube
  10. Yep, Sand Flat Fishing, "wasted" hours watching his vids, he seems to know his stuff
  11. the ones I bought are 75mm, do you have issues with them snagging in shallow water?
  12. anything that may bite, local land based
  13. G'day all, Just bought myself 3 double clutchs & am wondering if you would share your knowledge, tips & tricks on using them. I've read a few reports, mickyj's in particular, as he seems to use them a lot & am looking on youtube for some tips. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance.
  14. Yep, it's as easy as that, then...........................................
  15. Well that's another 30 min wasted looking for the last 3. I'M GOING TO THE PUB
  16. You may be going too light. My go to is 1/8, it gets the plastic to the bottom quickly then I jerk it up through the water column then let it sink again, wind in the slack & repeat 100 times I'll use 1/12 or 1/16 on calm days or if i'm in the yak. I don't think they can feed all of them, could they? With plastics it's more about a reaction bite than a hungry one most times. Keep experimenting & you'll find what works. Congrats on that Bream
  17. I haven't caught many Bream but all I've caught I've caught on plastics. Gulp Nemesis, Jigging Shrimp, Turtle Back Worms & Sqiddgy Paddle tail Fish but not one on a Z-man Grub yet there are pics all over the Webs of Bream with them in their gobs. I mix up the retrieve with each style till something works, not too helpful but that's all I got This may be the key - weed, walls, pontoons etc etc.
  18. I caught 7 on a Gulp jigging shrimp, between the foot bridge & the mouth of the Onk last winter, they were brilliant eating fresh. They may have recently entered the Onk though.
  19. Ah, the joys of the Interwebs hopefully this will be you soon
  20. Hookless, unweighted 4lb mono me thinks Sorry for that couldnt resist
