queensland Newstead 20th Apr 08

[username_taken]

Hit newstead with Kev and Dan last night. Was really windy so we walked brekky creek but couldn't find any fish, as the sun headed down we went back to newstead and started to fish seriously.

Not much action around, the wind must be shutting them down a bit, eventually Kev and Dan got into a couple of good fish, but a Duck for myself, the closest I got was a dropped fish on a 5" jerkshad.

Once again the big kmart lures were the breadwinners.

thanks for the Report paul mate, If Kev holds his fish any further forward he will be hitting the camers, Time for MACRO lol

when paul left, me and dan had some food and went back for some more casts. in a few minutes, i saw a big big splash right at my feed and spot a 70ish yellowish fish, so i drop my gulp shrimp right under and the fish swallowed my lure right in front of me. but i paid for my laziness( not having a leader on) and the fish snapped the line in no seconds. from the shape it's either a threadie or a bullie. but from the yellowish color, it's a threadfin salmon for sure. then we saw bust ups everywhere and i had a massive hit no hook up right on the surface. dan got a hit when reeling in his sp as fast as possible but the lure's defi too fast for the fish to swallow. \

so no fish landed but some awesome action.

Yeah thanks Paul. It takes character to make a report when you had a bud luck day. You'll have to hit your local Kmart before you head back there mate.

Funny thing is I bought 7 of those things Yesterday, Kev stole most already though but he "Supertuned" one for me.

I had the best drag screaming run I've ever had at newstead last night but pulled the hooks on it. Must have been a really nice Bream I reckon, it was setting its sights on Toowong!

[Dan23]

I think the date was the 19th:)

[will]

well done fellows :cheer:

[fishyman]

nice one guys, sounds like a nice night

[Dinodadog]

Well done boys

[Lozzel]

Kev and Dan do it again :laugh: Good effort to brave the conditions.

Those K Mart lures are they the Capricorn Dancer series ??

[flatty_catcher]

nice fish mate, you guys always seen to do well there, good one.

those Kmart lures must be ok eh

mind you k mart as far as ive know sold some good lures..

i guess you mean k mart cheapies

...well done

[Dan23]

Nah they're called Outback Lures or something to that effect. Change the trebles and probably worth changing the rings too. Fish em on light line slowly and they do well. Cheaper at Big W actually. :cheer: Don't bother looking at Chermside I cleaned out W and K there completely:P Did I mention they're 8cm long:blink:

[username_taken]

I tried to get some at BigW springfield today, but they didn't have the right size, I got a few others though.

What size/brand trebles does Kev put on?

U.N.T K mart at redbank plaza has some, looked at them yesterday..

[Dan23]

I think kev puts those Decoy 4 hook Quadruples? But size 10 Owners or gamakatsus would be fine.

bass Pro huh? haven't noticed them. If you're after decent Sx40 substitutes the Halco/RMG 4cm Sneaky scorpions swim nicely.

[kevinchen19870316]

the decoy hooks did the trick. i missed far less hits with those hooks.

[Dan23]

I forgot I took a couple of pics. Here's a flattie I caught. didn't measure but was 40+ [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/flattie-0ec56bd406eb5a3c20a6d85b40ffade8.jpg

[Dan23]

It sot of seems strange to see a pic of kev witha Spinning outfit lol

Lee

[Dan23]

At least he's using the wrong hand:lol:

[kevinchen19870316]

ha ha, i've been using spinning gear RH for ages

[Mick]

Are u left handed?

[MichaelJ]

another eventful trip next time u n t

what can u cast further with spin or bc kev?

what kind of structure is it around there?

[kevinchen19870316]

haha, i just love to cast with right hand then switch the rod to left hand and turn the handle with right hand

i can't cast 2grms sx40s with bc for sure but for bigger lures, under good condition, BC and spin r the same for me.

the only stucture's rock wall. just fish paralell to the rock wall and u'll get bream, flattie and cod

[Feral]

Ya woosie Kevin.

I fish with one right handed and one left handed bait caster, swapping about as my arms tire, or I want to use the lure on the other rod. I always cast with the hand that normally holds the rod.
