Big Thanks!

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hi all

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to @samsteele115 for mailing me some bream lures and leader! They're in great nick and look fabulous. I cannot wait to catch fish on them (hopefully!)  

Excitement!

Woohoo! 

I can't thank you enough Sam. Also, my dad and I are hoping to get out for a session this weekend so we're going to try these at the mouth of a little-ish feeder creek. (If we find time for a fish). 

Cheers Hamish

Fantastic mate.. good to see a big smile on your dial! Really glad I posted them out to you, they will get the use they deserve no doubt. 

Throw those crank baits in tight to structure and it won't be too long til you catch a few bream (or bass if you ever visit the freshwater creeks) 

That walk the dog lure is good for whiting on surface on the flats too. 

Maybe it's the start of a lure fishing obsession

@AUS-BNE-FISHO - if it does become an obsession and you have a much lighter wallet in years to come, you'll know who to blame for giving it to you .......  Seriously though, nice gesture there Sam and I bet you'll get a kick out of reading of some of Hamish's captures using the gear - nice work mate!

Thanks for the tips samsteele115. 

I'll be using them whenever on the yak in the river. They're the perfect thing to throw around structure while my dad or I does cast netting. If we stop at one of our spots, one of us can walk up and throw it around mangroves or something while the other is throwing the net.  They seem quite versatile. One trip I want to do with my dad on the school holidays (coming up) is a trip to the GC canals targeting bream... only problem with such light line is when bigger fish (like a cod) bites on. Might have some trouble getting one of them out of snags.  Also, just a question, can they be used at night with efficiency? I'm thinking of flicking along some spots this weekend because Saturday night is the only time I'll be getting out (if my dad ends up wanting to go out).

Hey kmcrosby78

Haha, yep. Hopefully I don't get snagged or busted off so I can keep using these!  I also hope I can write up some good stories about them in coming times (and not the donut variety)! 

Cheers Hamish

You wouldn't be the first to swim for a snagged lure haha.
