Hi all, i would like some advice on the effectiveness of using any type of surface lures in Moreton Bay. i am addicted to them, love using all types from poppers to pencils but i am struggling to figure out where in my own back yard they can be used with any effectiveness. Can any of you share any successful experiences using surface lures in Moreton Bay? i'd love to hear what species you were able to raise and what depth of water you found them in, etc.
Not much call for surface luring in the bay but if you pull paravanes with spoons you can get a chance of schoolies or spotties
Don't agree with you Justin!
I regularly fish surface lures in the bay, mostly in under 1m of water around the bay islands.
Species caught include bream, dusky flathead, sand flathead, tailor, trevally, pike, longtoms and a couple of unstoppables...
Small offerings and light lines seem to work best.
Cheers

I agree with Peter, and you can get longtails on poppers or pencils when they're in the right mood too!
Cheers

When the longtails are active poppers will work on them but a slug always seems a better option to me. A great popper target is the schools of Tailor that frequent our shallow reefs around the Bay islands and areas like Cleveland Point and Wello at certain times of the year

Yeah guys you are all right - I think I should have read the post properly.... I thought it mean trolling surface lure. My bad.
All previous comments are spot on... I have had good success with slugs for tuna and macs
