Thanks. Did you catch any other fish not just salmons?

Yes have caught flathead as well. Last week my friend told me he caught a mixed bag of some nice size pinkies, flatties and salmons as well all in the one session

This is all with a plastic?

Yes mate all on plastics but let me tell you sessions like that don't happen everyday land based!

Squidgy flick bait mate looks like a small pillie. Blue with black dots along the side with a 1/8 jig head

Hey LX, what size Squidy flick bait you using, 4 inch? how do you find casting 1/8 jighead land based, wouldn't it too light? what hook size are you on?

I love fishing with SP just couldn't catch Salmon with them, using 1/4 and 1/2 jighead on size 1 and 2 hook with 4" Zman minnow and shad. No problem catching with metal lure on 1/0 single though.

Yea 4 inch ones mate. The 3 inch ones are great also.
Don't have any trouble casting a 1/8 :tongue:

That's good, wonder what's your gear setup, must be a long rod or you have really good technique. I find it hard to cast and get the 1/4 jighead I'm using to the bottom and work it up to the surface esp. when the tidals are strong. 1/8 jighead must be even harder? or I'm missing some crucial SP fishing techniques?

What hook size do you use on your 4 inches SP?

Thanks

Maybe your rod doesn't have the right casting weight for flicking plastics. I tried with my glass gummy rods and was able to cast maybe 10-15m (sitting down in the yak, which adds to the degree of difficulty) so I bit the bullet and got a 5-10kg Pfluger Trion which is much better at casting little lures further.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd just add my report here again.
Went looking for some salmons again today. Arrived at around 3:30 and stayed till 4:45.
The action was non stop for a short period of time then it died off.
Ended up with 11.
All caught on the squidgy flick bait.

Cheers,

LX
