    Little Grey Men got a reaction from Bretto77 in Cicada Topwater Bass Lure Recommendations   
    I've only used one of those Savage cicadas and the wings fell off after being clobbered by a few bass....not impressed ! The good thing about surface lures is that you normally don't loose them to snags, unless an angry bass bricks you. The Atomic Hardz look good although they are sitting around $20. Chasebait make a good one as well for around $16. My go to cicadas are Tiemco which cost a bit more but I know the bass like them. The body is a light rubbery foam which makes a very gentle splash upon landing and they swim well. 
    Cast to your spot and let it sit until the ripples are all gone. Give it a few wiggles and let it sit some more. Start a very slow retrieve and stop after a few winds. Work it nice and slow.

    Little Grey Men reacted to Dinodadog in Tailing mullet for bass   
    Found a new and exciting way to get some bass yesterday arvo. I would notice a fleeing mullet and cast a lure to where I thought the bass would be chasing it and bingo bass on.I also had a little comp with lures and bait, managed 10 on each,lures  were chatterbaits.Made sure I didnt stay to long, headed home before the back caved in.Wife has ordered me a stool online, so should make life a bit better.(may never come home)

    Little Grey Men got a reaction from AUS-BNE-FISHO in Lure Colours   
    Never caught a redfin before as they don't swim up this way, but I do fish in some pretty dirty water the colour of milky tea. I'd be tempted to use something like a black curly tail grub on a jig spinner. Black to make a strong silhouette in the dirty water and the jig spinner to create strong vibrations and flash from the metal blade. 
    If I was wanting to use a hard bodied lure I'd also go for black.

    Enoggera reservoir looks like it would hold fish but I can say that I spent quite a few hours there one morning and tried every lure known to man and didn't get a touch. Beautiful looking place though.

    Little Grey Men got a reaction from AUS-BNE-FISHO in Does Anyone Know Of Any Cheap Hardbody Lures That Swim Straight With Good Hooks   
    The cheapies do seem to misbehave a bit on the retrieve. A small bream sized lure that I've had success with is the Stump Jumper Finesse - 45mm. They cost about $14 and swim really nice, I work them super slow and they get lot's of attention. They look pretty goofy but the bream don't seem to mind.The little 45mm Halcos Lazer Pros aren't too bad. It's a good idea to look in the bargain bins. A few years back I found a heap of Bassday bream cranks for $5 each and grabbed all of them !

    Little Grey Men reacted to Dinodadog in Two Hours Of Landbased Spinnerbaiting   
    Slipped out to the dam early this morning for a landbased session,5.30am till 7.30am.It was very muggy, and the fish were hungry. Decided to start with darker spinnerbaits like I used to years a go when fishing from the bank, seemed to work OK as managed 14 bass, one yella and one spanglie.Then home for eggs on toast, arh this is living.

    Hi Andy, that Sienna combo would be a good outfit to start off with. You can easily bait fish with it and then toss out some lures if the mood strikes you. Just remember to keep it oiled up.
    And yes those Zman grubs are a very versatile lure. Go for a natural colour as this time of year the water is clear. 
    Just remember if you are going to toss lures around you have to use the right line and learn how to tie leader knots etc. 
    Don't be afraid to ask questions as there are a lot of people here happy to help out.
