Anyone used fish craft lures ? Small deep diving lures .

Cause I’ve tried it when I couldn’t get SFactor . Mind you some of my largest came from not using any scent . And all those years ago mulloway on bream gear bream lures no scent at all on them memories . I think using 4 lb FC leader don’t think scent or no scent I could land mulloway now.

Used that wasn’t as good on the bream as S factor.

Ok just wondering which is the better scent S Factor or Gulp ?

Looking at these again the green one brings back memories of me landing bream and STs on flies roughly that colour . Could be a killer on the fish .

I had to tell myself it’s lockdown you can’t go fishing and the weather is rubbish . Me thinks I may try a vibe again . Good fish by the way and yes the ones on fly were bigger that I saw pictures of . Yes I’m bored from not fishing I need to prowl the water lol

Probably but I’m a strange fisher I want a bigger fish on lighter gear . But that’s me . Hopefully unlike on hardbodies salmon will take the same flies in different locations . I’ve got hardbodies that’s STs will swallow at the Pat but bigger salmon in west lakes won’t even be Interested in .

I can’t recall the fly I finished using on bream on the surface took it from a Aussie fly fishing forum . The fly would float and bream loved it the smaller the bream hitting it the sound was like a gun shot . Iirc it had a foam material used behind wood panels . I messaged the guy who gave the design out funniest thing he said it was a joke and was shocked that I got legal bream on it

My old days 10 or 11 years ago that was to heavy for bream . But your chasing salmon . Flies with green in them used to work well on either species . I got tired of tying them badly or they didn’t look good did work though . Hopefully there’s a wind iirc fish took flies better with waves on the water ( they do with lures to )

Will you be using sinking line or floating line . Iirc I used to use a 6 weight .

Good luck been there done that well not to where your going . Salmon and bream take salt water flies . The old days I used to wade west lakes and do it .

Today using the trout shoulder bag I saw the advantage over back pack I don’t need to take it off to pack up . And in the cold of an Adelaide winter morning makes leaving to go home easier .

Do I have to dig my 750 Symetre out lol was a great reel

Oops I’ve got it stored away until I get one of the two spools with it spooled

God can’t recall I was told not for sale in Australia I bought it secondhand on another forum then much later saw them for sale at Ray and Anne’s . probably is dark green the 750 is bigger than my laguna 1000 which is smaller than my sienna 1000 or by eye sight they are lol

Was just thinking about my Symetre 750 need to get it spooked again

Weather permitting I should haul out the trout bag Saturday with some Rex hunt cutters I found at the charity I volunteer at .

If it wasn’t for my knee And other health issues from February I’d be doing a lot of hours . However before I started volunteering for Newstart/jobseeker due to my head injury I couldn’t fish 7 days a week would take to much out of me . Hopefully when I’m given the all clear for no more walking stick maybe three or more 1 to 2 hour mornings a week . Ahh the old days used to do 4 hours in the mornings and 2 in the afternoon. I was working full time 8 to 10 to 12 hour days . But RDOS weekends and holidays I’d be chasing bream . You know you have a problem when a boss hears your fishing on RDOS a

Ok I looked the bag up it’s a Daiwa trout shoulder bag should do the trick hopefully very soon

Ok guys and HBT I went into tackleworld. They were out of the rapala sling tackle bag out of the shimano one . I did however buy a Diawa shoulder bag small light should do the trick . Hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll be back

Cheers thanks

Cheers

Ok so everyone knows BCF Richmond doesn’t have the shimano sling tackle bag the worker never heard of it . Looked it up one BCF in Adelaide has it Gepps Cross I’m not driving there . Worker suggested buying it online and getting it delivered not paying for something I haven’t seen . Tomorrow I’ll be halfway to tackleworld I’ll go in take a look at the rapala one . Was a nice walk after hydro therapy this morning though lol

Thanks HBT

I looked it up looks good would like to see it before I buy it though . I’ll get it sorted
