Having Problems, Need a few Pointers

[Tri-Kun]

Hello Ausmembers

Every session the group and i, stay up early in the morning seeing many species, such as bream, rhast or rhass (parrot fish look alike), during that time we use plastics very light weight hardbodies, and many others, and still have no success in catching them. they barely even look at anything we give them. wat we use are, squidgie fish, squidgie shad, sliders, tawadi's in the prawn version, heddon torpedoes, and some shallow diving lures, the works. watching dvds, television using the same technique, but nothing prevails.

So something advice and hints to perfect my success rate chasing bream and other species on lures would be great thanks.

Around the area, there are also little travalley gt's around, wat recommended lure's should i use to chase those awesome fighting fish and maybe those red devils that are lying around...

Thanks Tri

Are the trevally feeding along the bottom or are they hitting bait fish on the top of the water? If they are working the bottom then I'd use something like a 3" powerbait or a similar flickbait, something you can work fairly quickly. Make sure you have the right jighead to keep your lure in the strikezone for them.

If they're working the top of the water I'd try either a popper (size would depend on what fish they're hitting) or maybe even a turtleback worm rigged on a worm hook and worked across the top of the water.

For the bream I'd try the gulp sandworms, there's an article which details how best to rig them on the TT's jigheads site. Go as light as possible and very short, slow movements.

Best of luck, we all have days where we throw everything at them and still can't buy a bite (me yesterday :-[)).
