queensland threadies on surfaces lures

[shidano]

just wondering if you can catch threadies on surface lures and what are the best knots to tie the leader to the surface lure

[wesfish]

they are known up north to hit surface lures, i would say find a shallow sandy flat on low tide and use a sub surface lure! the easiest way to connect lure to leader is a loop knot.

I have seen thradies smashing prawns on the shallow mud banks around Jindalee so I think it is quite possible, but like Wes said, subsurface would be a much better presentation.

When saratoga are a bit finnicky they bat surface lures around and won't hook up, but the same fish will inhale a similar size lure that is retrieved 6 inches under the water. i would imagine salmon would behave in a similar manner
