I dunno much about them but I pulled a 47cm fish out of the local last saturday. Funnily enough I'd hooked a bit of weed and was ripping the lure back to get the weed off and re-cast when the fish smashed it.

1-3kg or 2-4kg outfits are fine mate.
Winged lures such as tassies, stingers, cobras, work far too well to dismiss. Bibbed minnows are also good to have in the spread. Rapalas such as F7-F13, or XR6-XR10. Or daiwa double-clutch. And a troll speed of 3-3.5km/hr should do the trick. Good luck!

Adrian only normally keeps trout that, would still die if released
E.g. deep hooked

I loved catching luderick on the south coast of NSW. Fished for them years ago, long rod, pencil float, weed bait. I agree, clean them quickly and thoroughly and they are great eating.
