Hey Micky any luck with those blades ?

No I should’ve bought a bigger one actually I haven’t found any fish in weeks the blood worm run I guess 

Great lures Adrian can’t wait to see them land some trout

Have a look at this guys vids as he uses blades often

 

Thanks 

Ok trip one using a blade thought I’d try the Pat . Not a good idea in winter and yes I knew that from years of going there . Besides landing bucket loads of weed what did I learn . It’s slightly like using a plastic . Now it’s tiny weighs 4 grams the weight size of a 65 mm DC so it casts well . Tomorrow all being good I’ll try around west lakes . The vibration feels strange but I’ll get used to it .

Didn’t have time to go that far today( sick maybe dying parent I needed to go to  ) plus the quickest walk to Anaconda you risk Pluvers attacking you it’s happened before

Just to keep the juices going ive put up some more picks of other species that have taken a liking to the vibe/blade

 

 

Wow Projoe you’ve done great 

Thanks guys I saw pictures online thought I’d grab a cheap blade and have a try 

Hey guys some help please . Seen on Facebook pictures of fish landed on blades .Are they any good and how do you use them . Do you use them like a plastic ?

It’s funny everyone says support your local tackle shop . Where I live basically around the corner is BCF and across the road and up the street is Anaconda .

i do wish there was a local one close to me 

The lure didn’t work this morning had one jump that’s all

the other two lures I flicked got nothing as well

I’ve used them for yellowfin whiting, salmon trout and bass. 

 

I haven’t used them on bream but I know that the eastern states guys have and they definitely work. Use a Slow retrieve with a pause or two thrown in.

Cheers it’s been a couple of years since I’ve used a surface lure thanks for the info .

Here’s the one I bought

Never used one of those but they look similar to one of the Berkley 3B surface lures and caught a few fish on them.

Got one today was thinking surface lures again it’s not very big but I’ll give it a go 

Anyone used these lures

savage gear walking 53mm 2.3 grams

It’s an interesting question . I ran into a guy at the Pat catching undersized STs and keeping them . Innocent me asked why keep them his answer great mulleway bait . Me but they are not 21 cms legal size he said again great bait . I said as long as you don’t get caught he laughed . And watched me return undersized STs I caught and landed .

we need more fisheries officers

Wouldn't take SkyNews reports as gospel Mike they play loose with the the facts and plenty of dogwhistle political messages in their reporting. Just my opinion.

Hope everyone is coping ok in these trying times and staying healthy. At least at the moment we can still go out for a fish.

Cheers all

It's sad to hear of so many people losing their jobs around the country, thankfully in my case I'm well over the retiring age (74) and still in pretty good health apart from lower back & hips being on the poor side the rest is okay.. I'm still heading off to the rivers for a spin session as well, I never see anyone else on them at the best of times either, so yes all good down this way for now.. Let's hope there's a cure for this virus in the very near future and everything gets back on track once it's over which will take some time to do so. When that will be who knows but let's hope it's sooner than later for everyone's sake.. stay safe & well everyone... thinking of you all back there in good ol' South Australia..

cheers

I’m with you Adrian I will only stop fishing when I’m forced to knee back no more head injuries and my diabetes stays good

Job gone, everyone well, don't get me started on centrelink, seriously the state of our welfare system is as big a disgrace as the behavior of the scumbags who are looking to take advantage of this nation wide emergency. 

Think I NEED to go fishing, it's good for the soul.

I lost my job due to my brain injury back in 2015 can’t find paid work . I will not defend Centrelink but at this time they are doing their best . I’ve had Centrelink issues cut off due to their error but back on Newstart. Sorry to everyone who has lost their job but be unemployed over 55 there are zero jobs in Adelaide. Now Wert if you think Centrelink is bad wait until you see a job provider in my case I’m with a disability employment service I heard every second meeting we will cut you off of Newstart various reasons main one attending the industrial court for my court case .

so while Centrelink isn’t great get ready job providers are worse 

plus there’s no jobs for over 55s in Adelaide 

And I was lucky to escape Nazi DES workers I took Centrelinks advice and volunteered for Newstart my age group 55 to 65 volunteer for 15 hours a week no need to look for jobs that aren’t there or go to meetings every two weeks or do another useless 12 month course . I was enjoying my volunteering job until they shut shop due to the virus 

I’m a bit late seeing this post 

lure clips work great I’ve used them in various forms on salt water flies hardbodies and plastics .

The knot I use is a fly fishing knot called lefties loop knot . I’ve had so many experts tell me those knots don’t work fishing with lures then I show them a mulleway or larger bream ( funny I have caught them  ) and they go quiet

While BCF and Anaconda have got the range they still aren't cheap when the sales are on.

I wanted a Shimano Sedona this week and seen them for $99 normally $124.99.

Ordered direct from overseas and is delivered to my door for $70.Not a huge saving but the gear i go through every year every bit helps to save me something,as for warranty that's virtually non existent these days.

Honestly I only go there when I get like $10 off or my family gives me a gift card
