Nice Bream there Mully,
I have never thought of using the middle of the measuring tape the way you do,
I gives us a good look at the fish whilst trying to work out what length it was.

Good catch of fish.

So then I take it that you put them all back as none are over 40cm, going by your standard?

And a very high standard at that. Well done.

You are trailblazing for the rest of us.

not trying to be a smart ass just so many around that size here im after the magic 50 fellas...[well the spot might have something to do with it also]
They are all great fish but I have hundreads of pictures of under 40 and only aroun 80 or so of over 40's so i need to build up the over 40's...
I dont keep many only the bleeders that dont recover, i like to kiss a let go most times...but they couple bleeders I do get is enough for my family most times...

Is JD short for sumting? Looks like a gun lure, may need to get one.

That 50cm bream will come soon mate.

Hey Mully up to you mate !

But if you could be so kind as to start a thread on the do's & donts of hard body lure fishing I'm sure alot here would appreciate it like I said I've spun for them with SP's but not HB's & allthough I know a bit about it I'm sure I'll pick up a few pointers.

Got all the gear know where to find the brims etc just haven't given the HB's a go yet.

If you do go ahead with the thread dont do it all in one hit I find bits @ a@ time make for best threads esp when peeps start asking Q's

Cheers mate

Give em a go on HB's, it's a challenge but once you get the right retrieve going you can get good numbers of them.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jan 31 2008, 03:31 AM

I get to see some rip snorter brims up around the royster leases last trip there I'm talking kilo + fish they sit just under the surface no luck on those fish with SP's cause lure sinks down to quick.

Reckon tossing HB's behind them will do the trick thats why I asked Mully to do a thread

Id be happy to share a few posts about different luring styles and best lures for a particular species...
I get a lot of feedback about how good lures are all over Australia so Im in the thick of it so to speak and I love helping out so when I get a minute I will put them up for you all...

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jan 31 2008, 02:13 PM

Whenever your ready Mully as per in the popper thread think to many peeps put to much emphasis on the lure & forget what is prob more important

the retrieve action & likely habitat of the fish
