Scarborough Reef - Soft Plastics?

[acoustics2010]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone could share there opinions on what type & colour soft plastics & size jig heads to use for Squire/Snapper in shallow water, particularly for scarborough reef.....

Thanks in advance

nuc chick, lime tiger 3-4"...... gulp

pumpkin seed and casper clear 3-4".... power bait

with sp's try and use as less wieght as possible, the longer it flutter ( drops ) down the mor lickly of a strike.

get some 1/8 and 1/6 in a 2/0 & 3/0 and may be evan lighter

good luck

does this vary with day and night time fishing? will be fishing there mainly at night

[madmullet]

night time you need to use sented plastics, as low light has an effect on the fish seeing, so you need to trigger their othe sences, but their lateral line does play a big role

u suggest any good sents?

[madmullet]

gulp plastics or any plastic with sented plastics

first thing that comes to mind is ultrabite but the gulps already have a good scent just try maybe re-dipping your plastic into the packet every 5 minutes or so..

Thanks for the info guys.

Went and bought

: Lime Tiger 3" Gulp Minnow

: Pumpkinseed 4" Gulp Minnow

Give these a go Friday night on the incoming tide at Scarborough

Was there on the incoming tide Saturday avo and caught a couple of undersize and one 41cm Squire but had a few nice big Snapper follow the bait right up to the boat but they would not take the squid.

Thought if i had a soft plastic to twich that would prob be the trick.

Anyways thanks again
