thanks for the info , i try that out tomorrow .....

as with most plactics slow retrieve works best.
paddle tails, minnows and worms you can flick or raise the rod then retrieve let it sink and stop. repeat.
have fun

Did the bent minnow worked good there?

fly outfish lure 5:1

but topwater lure is damn exciting when they bite.

FishOn, what soft plastic is good for bream and snapper fishing ?

I m going Melb in a few days time, mostly going to do some shore fishing.

back from EAK, meet with yingjee and trowachin this morning

10+ pacu & 4 belida , no sign of any torpan and the other new fish

dont even see the toman fries also .......



ehhh bro thanks for the pallet ah ......

work better then the cricket



just a advice in case , anyone wanna buy the cricket from the pond keeper
be in mind that the size is very small .......

25 cricket for rm 1 , so small until you need to hook 2-3 on a single hook....

nice one bro yingjee and katsumoto caught many fishes

the uncle sat there at the platform use pallet keep getting all the tilapia... all also very shiok...

no signs of tarpon. offday i think... or all spooked d by the yesterday's fly guys... tarpon tarpon where are you~~

wah the uncle sit at the platform so brave use pallets also after its ban..lol..zz
nyway am going back there on tues day morning renting a boat to hunt for some giants.. anyone wanna tag along?

Did you say Bream??? lol I know a thing or two about bream.
Where bouts in Melb? Moving towards summer....you get the bigger ones in winter. but they're more active in summer. They'll even take poppers hehe

As for plastics go there and have a look at the fishing shops man. Central Melb CBD has a fair few of em. Malaysia's range is quite pathetic compared to what they have. Get little crawdads or prawns. They work well. Got one's that look like bugs too and they work as well. Easier to cast too if it's windy. Worms are good. You can get 4" and trim it to suit your jighead. How you work them is important. With the shrimps etc you twitch a few times and let it sink. Then stop. Stop! lol if you see your line move or dart left to right means a bream has got it. Tarik and set the hook. With worms. Cast let it sink. Lift your rod and wiggle it. Let it sink....and STOP. haha. Watch your line as well. Chances are you'll hook onto a few Tailor as well as the water will still be coldish. Watch the teeth and they will decimate your grubs.

Snapper.....nothing beats bait for snapper. You can use worms but it'll be picked off too fast. To fish snapper effectively a boat would be ideal. Heavy jigheads too to get lower on the water column. But like I said. Bait works better. And if you're going for good sized Snapper it'll be probably rocks/ledge fishing outside of the bay. Take caution before you go (highly advisable) you don't go as it's the most dangerous form of fishing. Fair few deaths every year. I've almost been swept in once. Within less then a second I had sea water as high as my chest. Lucky I had cleats and jammed my rod in a rock crevice. Be very careful and never turn your back to the sea.

Get some grubs have fun with the bream if they on the chew. If not St Kilda Wharf I believe is a decent spot to fish. If all else fails. Go Trout fishing I think the season is about to close if not already. Best check first.

Bream, Whiting and Flathead will be your bread and butter in Melbourne unless you head to deeper water or out of the heads. Flathead is good eating. Just be careful of the spikes on the side of the head. Very painful.
Anything weird, too colorful or spiky. Cut your hook off and release it. Aust has 8th of the 10 world's most dangerous creatures. Blue ring octopus is one of them.

I"m not sure about Victoria but I think it has been implemented. You WILL need a fishing licence. You can get day passes from their website. http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recrea...fishing-licence
Also please please please do take into consideration bag limit's and legal size. Yes there is legal size (minimum size) in Oz. Any undersize fish is $2000 per fish. So bear this in mind. And it is strictly enforced.

All else fails....go on a charter man! haha I did when I was there. Great fun. Salmon after salmon after salmon. (winter) Enjoy your holidays buddy
