me think sp

[hustler57]

hmm .. sp

im guessing soft plastics. whats the best colour to use for bream and flathead ?????

[STEVE.P]

first step * find were the fish you are targeting are once you have done that your half way there.
Breams rocky ereas / boat morings /oyster leases sand flats were eg. yaby holes are.
Flattys there are an ambush fish on drop offs, edges of weed beds on bends of sand flats.

rule of thumb dark water dark lures. clear water light colour lures.
I use SP and as light as posible heads. this lets the lure twich more eratic.
hope this helps.
cheers steve

You'll have to ask the sites resident mut he's the expert



It's more about 1stly finding the fish then just as important retrieve techique different days differents way's so to speak.

Think to many peeps retrieve sapy SP's ? the same way they would a lure if spinning for surface fish way to quick & in a straight retrieve.

You should gve ittle flicks with rod very slow retrieve if spinning for flathead often if I'm drifting & not to quickly I'll leave a rod out the back with a SP bouncing the bottom & a very successful method I may add get alot of fish doing this.

At the same time I'm flicking anither SP around away from the drift line thus covering a larger area

You should try it Roger it's actually good fun & SP's have saved the day on many occasions

Still prefer my bait fishing & only really got into the SP's not that long ago but they do work & some great fun can be had with them esp in the shallower water even the flathead go that much harder & they stooge you a couple of times thought they were bream.

I have had a go...but just dont feel confident with them :unsure: ...one day I will go out with nothing else B) ...Ive got plenty of them :o

SP's are the sort of fishing that grows on you & the more you use them the better you get thus better catch's

About 3 years back I'd put together my little 4.8 meter tinny wanted to do a trip around Oz & never got around to going due to illness it just sat there till last year only had 20 hrs on the motor & I was going to sell it.

Well got into these SP's & decided to keep it now has a Lecky I cut off screen etc gets into places I cant go with the big boat great around the oyster leases

Hey Benny, all your lures are good one's, on their first go they all worked fine, they caught you didn't they. now just add water and give them another go, they'll definately work on flatties you can catch them;;; Looney Fishing.

Once upon a time all I did was chase gamefish in the Bluewater but have to admit I'm really enjying myself fishing for the smaller fish these days dont know if you saw that report I did @ SF Simply Red well had a ball that day got the fish on both baits & SP's

still have the pic hosted here's what we kept only a few compared to what we released & that's just 2 of us fishing for about 3 hrs.

Bream: Ecogear SX-40's are my favourite all time bream lure. Landed heaps of bream and the flatones seem to like them as well. They have a nice shimmy action and dive to about 1-2 metres. Jackall Chubbies are also good along with Smith Camions and Jades. Don't do too much Breaming on SP, prefer HB. B)

Flatones: SP definately the go. I like 2-5 inch ones, big lure=big fish, but I use 2-3 inch ones if there are bream in the area. Berkley Gulp! 4 inch Turtleback worms are good in Pumkinseed and Watermelon. Atomic jerkshads are good aswell, they have a very fat profile which makes the 3 inch lures look much bigger. My PB flatone of 88cm was caught on an Atomic inch Jerkshad in Pumkinseed. ^_^

P.S. Sorry Jumpy, can't join as much as I would like to go around oz fushing. Parents wouldn't allow it, they are all ready thinking this place is too "rude" for me to visit with the adult forum in place.

That's why that forum was setup for

OK guys think better off starting a New thread on the Wyalla Reds Benny asked about lures & we're talking Reds

I'll start the thread & then come back here to clean up non relavant posts in this thread think that's fair & @ least you'll know why your posts have been deleted.
