Need some Advice

[ONTHECHEW]

Now that I am a member of the tupperware brigade, appart from decking out the yak I need to set myself up for that style of fishing. 99% of my tackle is based around fishing the bay/offshore. After any ones suggestions on their go to lures for fishing lakes, creeks, canals etc for jacks, gts, bream, tarpon, giant herring etc any species really but if you have any stand out lures. Could be plastics, vibes, stickbaits, diving lures what ever.

Thanks for the help

Grab a few zippin ziggies, trace them up with 200lb cos the ferocity that fish have hit mine off the surface out felt like I'd have needed 200lb to stop them.

Also daiwa double clutches seem to go ok for me too!

[dansike]

6 to 8 lb braid, 15 to 20 lb fluoro, placcys i would use sliders in gold glitter and cotton candy or nukey chicken 3 inch, also gold blades 1/8, river2sea flexi vib been my number 1 canal lure for the year for me. They catch everything, jacks, tarpon, trevs, flatties...the lot!!

[PlasticFantastic]

Diawa double clutchs, Sammy 65s, r2s bubble pops, squidgie wrigglers 100mm in bloodworm, 3" zooms in babybass and a couple of switch blades to top it off, oh and a 6 weight fly outfit aswell,

Cheers

If I could only have one hardbody it would be the Maria sp55mm, caught more species on them over the last 8 weeks than any other. Great for light casting and trolling.

Zippin Ziggies for top water.

Damiki Armor Shad, skin blue or oxblood red. These catch anything.

[Cheyne_jones]

Bassday sugapens, jackall chubby's, luckycraft bevvy shad 60's, lucky craft pointers, maria mp55's.

I could get by on these for bream, jacks, gt's and most estuary species. No doubt once your hooked you will find your own favorites.

[Bargeass]

Throw in a couple of OSP bent minnows, they'll have your bass, bream, jacks, trevs, tarps and gh all covered in one go. 100mm bloodworm wrigglers should do the rest

I am not sure where you are located mate, but go fishing at nerang has 20% off all hardbodies at the moment, they have a good range, probably most things on your list.

[Do$tylz]

yep.. skin blue damiki armour shads.

Here's a few others I find myself tying on regularly.

Pontoon 21 Crackjack in any size

Pontoon 21 Greedy Guts

Gulp 2" shrimp

Ecogear SX-40

EcoGear SX-60

Damiki 4" Ripper in skin blue - awesome squite plastic off the front wall of the Brissie river.

[Jords]

Flicking plastics around pontoons mate, ecogear aqua bream prawns are the current craze, but I tend to find myself using gulp turtleback works with the front 4 or 5 segments trimmed off, just flick it on a 1/40th hidden jig head and wait as it wafts down. Also gulp shrimp go alright, the z-man shrimpz get a pretty decent write up too

[pinkbream]

All good advice so far....my only comment is not to go too crazy buying the entire tackle shop (easier said than done). A handful of 2 or 3 inch Gulp prawns, a few blades and couple hard bodies will cover most opportunities. I have not found a lure that does not catch fish yet...at times fish in the Bay are just crazy and hit anything. Using minimum weight jighead and small diameter fluoro line equally important as lure choice....as is being quiet while on the water..

Got a few lures off my wife and sister inlaws for christmas to start my collection

Also found these ones at home, I am guessing they would be targeting bream or smaller by the gauge of the hook, any one have any ideas.

you might be surprised but I still use some larger lures in rivers/estuaries.

main thing I target is jacks these days and they work well, rarely get a bycatch of bream

try larger lures if you dont mind not catching small fish and just want the big ones

[ONTHECHEW]

Might be a stupid question but what lures do you mean by larger ones.

Andrew

[Baptism]

5" to 6" onwards.

yes I use them in the river and they work well

something like madmullet
