    Thanks DES I’ll keep them in mind . Don’t worry I’ve caught all those excluding FH on hardbodies trumpeter on them not on plastics . Something for me to think about while I can’t fish . Light lure on light line I enjoy

    I did some looking yesterday . I may already have one in my collection. I’d like to know the best way to use them . On a 1-3 kilo rod 4 LB leader . I assume like a plastic sink two twitches repeat is that right ?
  6. Ok yesterday there was a special at a certain store I can walk to so yes bought one more another 50 plus shirt . And my daughter remembered to bring the crows fishing shirt home for my Father’s Day gift lol . That’s 6 shirts in total including 1 got at the charity op shop I volunteer at . I think all the places that have these shirts can stop having them on sales I have enough lol
  7. Interesting about hats I had my daughter with me looking at BigW and Kmart problem mainly the ones i wanted had mesh in allowing sun through . So I paid a massive $8 for a hat from Kmart looks like I’m going to school but like a cricket one will keep the sun off as will they solar tube I bought . For myself long sleeve fishing shirt hat tube ect are to keep the sun off me . And those that know me by the waters edge no more shorts when it’s in the 30s
  8. Funny this should come up I’ve bought some recently including a upcoming Father’s Day gift of an Adelaide crows fishing shirt . I purchased a Daiwa one from a certain store that gave me $20 off if I spent $50 so I selected that one in grey and a solar tube it was around the $50 mark for the 2 . Getting the $20 discount was hell on earth eventually they gave it to me for the discounted price . Now having time I googled a certain tackle shop on port road they had one up for a price went in there couldn’t find it the one I thought it was . Was marked just under $50 . I asked the person behind the

    West lake bream

    I’m out of action but reading the replies . Slow retrieves then go slower. Have pauses count to 5 then retrieve . Now posters have mentioned structure very true . I learnt many years ago fly fishing for bream at the lake that shadows to bream are structure . Seeing it’s west lakes there’s areas I’ve caught bream in summer and then areas in cooler weather I’ve caught them . Lures for myself minnow shaped lures work well and sometimes smaller ones . Also beaches at the lake sometimes bream will sit on the clear sand between seaweed beds just things I’ve learnt bream at the lake and sometim
  10. Actually this lure was difficult but I carry small fishing pliers one shake and the owner hooks came free . Sorry I thought you were just talking this lure . Casting issues on smaller lures I’m thinking my 2500 reel it had issues with double clutch lures as well
  11. May I ask why ? Been told it’s worth $30 was offered plastics and hardbody lures for it
  12. Ok with my S Factor running out I bought some gulp scent and yes it works .
  13. Ok a wise fisher I talk to has told me it’s a expensive Japanese lure called Duo . And the Lure actually worked around dawn today Owner hooks are great . Ok only tiny STs but fun
  14. The charity I volunteer for jobseeker at was donated this lure . It was given to me to use. I’ve also got two trout fishing jackets lucky .

    Reel sizes

    As I posted I was told what I wrote by a Tackleworld Australia employee that’s a fact . And I also wrote I’m not looking to buy one at this stage . Just found it strange that there were zero on the shelves of Tackleworld Australia . I’m sorry if I upset anyone I was just shocked Daiwa stopped making 1000 size reels or I should say I was told that by an employee of Tackleworld Australia that’s all

    Reel sizes

    Funny Tackleworld worker told me Daiwa wasn’t making this size reel any longer

    Reel sizes

    And so everyone understands I’m not buying a new reel my family would skin me alive if I did just yet . This post was just about Daiwa not making the 1000 size reel

    Reel sizes

    Mulloway

    Before I forget I got very lucky on bream gear casting into large bait schools or salmon schools and landed mulleway. Three in three days lost a bugger one on day four . Not a bad by catch

    Mulloway

    I haven’t landed one in 7 years on bream lure and light line . That was in February . So I’d guess on lures it’s summer time can’t talk about bait fishing for them . Saying summer couple of years ago on a winter dodge tide in west lakes a school one or two ripped the trebles of my lure . I’m afraid it’s fishing trial and error
  21. I know I’m a little behind on the news of reels . Had a spare moment went into TW just looking asked about Daiwa in size 1000 seems they don’t go that small now . Shimano do though . Funny that . When I got home I thought I’ll check out the last reel I bought Daiwa 2500 which I’ll use next trip out . I did feel old my sienna 1000 looks really old compared with the latest one
  22. I got taken to the pictures and Karl juniors plus a $50 BCF card which so far I’ve bought one small lure with just to see if it works leaves me $40 to spend lol
  23. Seeing no one answered the question I purchased one the other day . Just under $10 ,$9.95 . Doesn’t cast as far as a DC and if you rewind to fast it jumps out the water surface . Now saying that today’s ST 8 should’ve been 10 . This one was black with red eyes can’t wait until the bream are hungry
  24. Well I have caught a lot of fish on S factor not as many on pro cure. Haven’t tried gulp hence I was asking about gulp everyone else jumped on the pro cure bandwagon I never asked about . Seeing I just bought another S Factor it might be awhile before I try gulp
  25. Now I could throw in I have lures that catch salmon or STs in the Pat hand over fist but the same lure salmon in west lakes won’t touch . Not the same on bream lures though
