Hiya all,
Firstly let me say this...what a GREAT site.
I have been fishing since I was old enough to hold a rod and a avid swaffer for about the last 15 years, but just a few weeks ago I got the urge to take a shot at breaming on plastics.
I have always used conventional methods for bream in places like Bemm River..but moving to just south of sydney has seen me want to try something different. Any ways, I thought and thought about it, then came up here to Coffs for a holiday at my folks place and actually got my wallet out and went shopping.
I bought a Shimano Stradic 2000, and 6'6" Stella spin stick..loaded it with 6lb fireline and well..a heap of plastics, heads and leader material and $700 later, I was heading fishing.
Not really knowing what to buy I was totaly in the hands of the guys in the tackle store as far as the plastics went..but lookin at the ideas posted here I got some fairly good advice.
I bought 1"1/2 sliders in pumpkinseed and motor oil colors and 211 size 2 Gammy heads in 1/16 ounce and some squidgies in varying colors and sizes...lotsa flattie's in the inlet.
My old man also bought a stella spin stick and scored a 4lb frog on it first outing on a killer tomato squidgie.
I got 2 little bream and a pan size flatty.
Then I decided to do some searching on the net..and found you guys..whoot...I hope you dont mind me waffling on, but this forum has been a great help.
Look forward to spending alot more time here.
Take it easy..
