Nice work Brett, he certainly wolfed that paddler down. Gotta love surface caught fish, worth 10 caught any other way I reckon.
Love surface blasts from Cod, Ive been mainly using surface lures chasing my local bass lately and it has got me connected to more of the local eastern cod than I'd been encountering on spinnerbaits (maybe they've finally twigged that those vibrating things with the rubber skirts need to be avoided!) - sure know the difference when a cod shows up!

They must be heaps more fun to catch that way!
I've just bought a couple of jitterbugs and cant wait to take them to Copeton in a couple of weeks time!!!!
