  1. Hi mate.

    Marketing is a wonderful thing when it comes to fishing gear and we all get sucked in to it, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you are confident with the lures or SPs that's half the battle.

    For me these days I've always got my nose in the bargain bucket looking for what I think might work in any fishing situation I might find myself in. Cheapskate.πŸ˜‰

    So to answer your question I have a selection of go to's that I trust,Β and cheapies that I think and hope will work.Β I get a real buzz from catching fish on the bargain bucket lures.πŸŸπŸ‘πŸ˜Š

    A few pics of bargain bucket catches.

    $5 lure which I hoped would work up North.

    First ever Barra!πŸŸπŸ‘Œ

    Todays purchases 2 x $5 lures. One for up North and one for the local Bream etc...

    Hopefully get a successful pic with one of these in the near future.🎣🐟😊

  2. If you ask 10 fisherpeople about what works best for them with Bream on plastics you'll more than likely get 10 different answers.Β 

    If it was too easy there would be no satisfaction in your eventual success. Read and watch as much info as you can handle, but at the end of the day the only way to learn what works for you in any particular location is to get out there and keep casting.

    Good luck and cast with confidence. ;)

    Look forward to seeing a post from you of a West Lakes Bream with a SP hanging out of it's gob.🐟

  3. Sounds like a great trip mate.πŸ‘Œ

    Buffalo Creek near Lee Point for Barra. Best fished at low tide. There's a fishermans track that leads back up the creek bank from the carpark, which will take you to a few spots worth a flick. Not a track for the faint hearted.

    Seen Queenies taken at Nightcliffe jetty and the Cullen Bay ferry jetty. As mentioned the main wharf has a great reputation for fishing.Β 

    Another option would be to jump on the ferry, 15 minute ride, and fish the Mandorah jetty.🐟🐟🐟

    Good luck.

  4. Smoked Tommies are fantastic... with a couple of beers... yummo!πŸ‘Œ

    Cremated Tommies don't look so flash tho!πŸ˜‚

    I too have gone away from the wet brine and just sprinkle on salt and brown sugar before hot smoking.πŸ‘

    I'm not sure what heat source you are using, but in my little metal smoking box using a metho burner they are done in 15 -20 minutes depending on the size of the Tommies.πŸŸπŸ‹πŸ˜‰

    Half the fun is experimenting.πŸ™‚

    I'm surprised those rocks are not jammed packed with fishos from all the awesome reports you put up..

    Β 

    Yeah the place gets hit pretty hard all the time! Surprised there's any fish at all.πŸŸπŸ‘€Β 

    Several groups of fishos scooping last night too.πŸ˜‰

  6. G'day all,

    Nearly all my fishing these days is done with lures, but I cannot resist the temptation to go out and scoop up what I see as the prime bait for metro land based fishing... The mighty Bloodworm.πŸ™ŒΒ 

    Soooo much fun... Out on the rocks in the pitch black on a windy wintery night with a head torch and aΒ net.πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

    Last nights conditions were, what I see, as just about prefect for land based collection session. I chose a slightly different spot than in previous years after a little recon the night before. Worked out well as I left after about an hour with plenty of worms, for my needs, and they were still running out in big numbers.πŸ‘Œ

    Β 

    Sunset from the night before sussing out a good position.πŸ€”πŸ˜‰

    Cheers.

  7. That's some cracking goals kicked Kman! Well done.πŸ‘

    I didn't set goals as such for 2018, but got addicted to the Flatties during the warmer months and picked up a few PBs on the way ending in this one as a new PB.😊image.thumb.jpg.0629cde8a36a336c80c4fe7a5c5f08f2.jpg

    The usual Bream chasing suffered as a consequence, so no upgrades so far...😞

    Best of the year to date.

    Seriously hopingΒ to upgrade these 3 when I head North later in the year.πŸ™

  8. Trying to get out locally as much as possible over the 4 days.πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŸπŸ‘Œ

    This morning I was flicking plastics in the shallows. Tough in the wind, but heaps of fish about.😊

    Still finding these guys just not the size I'd like.πŸ˜‰

    Best Bream of the morning.🐟😍image.thumb.jpg.7a214dbb490fe2efdfaf5f1909190d70.jpg

    Quick pose before release.πŸ‘image.thumb.jpg.9e32ab9e8b1295dd4d320c34ff8b06ba.jpg

    Happy Easter Hookers...

    Lines tight.🎣

    Port Adelaide Bait & Tackle. Unfortunately they dont have a web page - only Face Book (and I dont do social media) but I managed to jag this image.

    The price tage suggests maybe its not the quality I imagined- however I have seen this type of design before. They have a belt clip on the handle, fold down well and expand when needed. I have also seen more expensive versions at TackleWorld in the fly fishing section.Β 

    I dont think they come with a case however, so you would.more than likely have to sort something like that out.

    Cheers TL

    Thanks mate. That looks good.πŸ‘Β I'll drop in and check it out.

    Appreciate your help.😊
