Good work Anthony......Awsome those plastics and the squire just can't resist.
Were you using 3 or 4 " plastics?
What was the colour on the day?
Have you tried the plastics along the Wello drop off yet?
I'm going to give it a go next trip out.
Cheers Brent

ok lets see, 1.5 gram jigheads, watermelon and pearl, 3 inch.
18ft to 25ft.
Yes webby, its been awhile, but they will be better than a turkey for xmas dinner.
sorry brent, i havent used them at wello yet, but it wont be long before i give them a crack, you seem to get the better quality fish on them, rather than useing bait.

Heres one that Barry Goode brought into the shop, which he caught at Peel on Sunday morning. Was 90cm and just on 8kg. He reckons he has been getting done over regularly by fish of that size on his last few trips. It was caught on a 5" Zoom and 12lb braid, I forgot to ask what colour plastic.
The big ones are still out there! now if I could just get out myself.... new boat arrives in January...

Cheers

Plastics outfished the RMGs the other day on my local reef shelf and I have to admit they are strating to become a favourite part of my tackle box

[wannabe]

It seems they work well during the day but how do the SP's go during the hours of darkness?

Anyone care to comment?

Full moon and use dark coloured plastics......You may be surprised at the results.
