Of course mate, I'm not sure of the exact name of the plastic (I'll have a look later) but it was a shiny/glittery yellow grub. I used 1/16th jig heads.Nathan_867 wrote:May i ask what soft plastic you used and what size jig?
Can't wait to get on there again this weekend, I think I'll try between Footscray road bridge and Farmsworth Ave.
Thanks

I did a lot of course fishing there from being a kid up until early 20s. I came here when I was 24, I'm 27 next week and I've just picked it up... shameful I know.
Loving the Maribyrnong though!
