queensland My 1st on a non-bait! Woohooo!

[EMP]

The fam went to Bullocky for a barbie and I borrowed an hour from them.

We had cooked prawns with us and I tried using a couple for about 10 minutes. Bored, I thought of using Kurt's spinnerbait (given by Uncle Angus and Strike King; thanks, bud).

And then, woohoo! I got lucky! 44 cm definitely felt good.

I do hope to go for my second soon! [img size=440]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Nokia_pix_126b.jpg

Nice work man! I love yellas!

[EMP]

Geez, by reading your replies, it makes me wonder what the best way to catch a yella is? Is spinnerbait the way to go?

Thanks Ash and Whatnow.

I think you will find the majority of yellas are caught on spinner baits.

That said when Ash James and I went to stanley, I got one hit I think, can't remember if there was any other interest in spinners. Everything that I can think of was caught on handcrafted Yowie Lures.

I've seen most come on medium-small sized hardbodies or on spinnerbaits:)

Nice fish:cheer:

[Terry H]

I think the beauty of spinner baits is you can fish right up in the structure a bit better than a hardbody.

They tend to make it out of a snag a lot better, and flutter nicely on the way down to your target destination. IMO they're good for fishing up hard against snags or structure.

That said, I've caught one catfish on a spinner bait and tahts it.

Nice fish mate. Congrats on the first on a spinner. Is a healthy looking bugger. Still yet to to fish there but I will be there soon I think.

Thanks Do$tylz, Bretto, Cowfish and Terry.

It's quite snaggy at the NPD at the moment. I mean the grass are still to rot to suit my skills, or the lack of it. :laugh:
