So, I thought Id back it up today given the weather was almost perfect (until the very moment I decided to go fishing). Whilst the wind had picked up, and it was raining, I headed down to my trusty beach once more with a greater degree of confidence.I got smashed by a monster YFW - I hesitated quite a bit given its been a long time since I fished so light. The hooks pulled. This happened another 4 or so times. All on the sugapen.I changed lures late in the game and whilst it didnt produce a YFW, I successfully caught two massive tommies.Whats people's experience - do you change the trebles on the sugapens and to what (singles or smaller trebles?).Or, is it simply my technique and I need to have more confidence in setting the hooks?Finally, my fishing was fairly random - do people ever attempt to burley to hod a school whilst fishing in this manner?

Ive loosely followed the idea of catching YFW on lures for years now, but have never attempted it, mainly because most of my fishing is undertaken from a boat.Over the lst few months Ive been reading and gearing up and this afternoon I launched my first assault.I'd have to say that I chase the worst conditions - the tide this afternoon was full quite early, plus it was a reasonably low tide. The wind blew like crazy last night and the water was full of ribbon grass - I could probably count the number of cast that succeeded without getting tangle on one hand. Plus, it was a blowy day to boot.I started the session with a clear coloured Sugapen however this was difficult as I couldnt see it in the chop. I did feel like I got a few taps on it but given the weed it ws hard to know for sure. I swapped colours to an orange which made life easier. Whilst the weed prevented me from being able to run a lure long enough to catch a fish I was amazed at how many fish rose to take a peak.Im particularly curious to know if others experience is that the YFW suss the lure out first before striking? Do people also maintain their retrieve speed when they have fish trailing.All in all - I think Im addicted!Oh, and the new Infeet rod is a dream - if anyone was considering one!
