one of the most important rules while fishing with plastics: If toadies are around, switch to bait or lures. They absolutely tear them apart. Same with leatherjacket. Costs you heaps of $$$Wolly Bugger wrote:So far I have discovered that toadies absolutely love soft plastics.
The other day thought to add a soft plastic in stead of a popper to the surf rig.
Crabs also love soft plastics.

nothing works, also been using sunline rockfish braid (8lbs) with toray leader (4lbs) flurocarbon
its doing my head in at the moment
you must have worked out the secret formula to consistantly catch them.
For a moment, in March I was thinking we need to get the guys together and go for a fish with you to see whats going wrong. Many others were having great success with the lures you had tried.
Then in May you have got them all diallied in and can't miss from the sounds of it, now you have got them piling up like Bushy wa on your shoulder telling you what to do.
Good luck to you is all I really want to say, good for you sticking at it. Proves it does pay off.
The amount of fisho's I used to see turn of sp's because they didn't catch fish straight away was very depressing.

Re: soft plastic issues
I saw a massive 40cm bream captured from under Marina dock using an unweighted nipper soft plastic
and letting it drift to bottom and moving to next floating pier until he caught one. His theory was if they were there they would hit it

Yep, bream can't resist an unweighted plastic with lots of action gently twitched across the bottom.
