Awesome, they work great with the HWS jig heads. Not the most durable but they catch plenty.
Hi Alan, new to fishing in Melbourne. Where do you recommend that I fish around this season from inland? I tried St Kilda pier and Williamstown Pier with soft plastics and haven't had any luck recently.

The fishing is a bit challenging right at the moment as the water temperature is very cool around 11 degrees so much patience is needed. I've been seeing good fish still caught at Sandringham, Geelong waterfront, Lorne to name a few.
Did you have sinkers on as well? It looked like it when you were reeling in. Something just up the line a bit.

A few fish were also caught on bait. You'll notice more towards the end of the vid both lee and I caught a few using bait which was on a standard single paternoster rig.
Entertaining as always. So you don't reel it in like a regular soft plastic lure? You just let it sit on the bottom?

For KG Whiting, i work the soft plastics very slowly. That tends to work better especially during winter
Question would you use a loop knot on jerkshad instead of uni knot?
@fishingmad
Жыл бұрын
No i only use loop knots or clips when fishing with lures that have bibs and trebles. For any type of soft plastic and jig head I tie uni straight to the jig head
have you tried running the line thru the worm,and hooking a treble into the worm leaving 2 barbs out,2 thirds down the worm, and a running ball sinker up front ??, stinger hooks ,i find are too much mucking around,and if your a bit older and your fingers arent what they were.......

Yes that also works really well, but you need a threading needle to set it up correctly, but can also work with great effect

Just work it slowly. Lifts every 15-20 seconds. Fish love to hit it as its sitting on the bottom or sinking to the bottom. There are some soft plastic instructional vids on the channel which might be helpful for you.

Berkley gulp fat hollow sandworms, or turtlebacks they are sold at most tackle stores, the jig custom jig heads are sold by on the edge lures. Thanks
So you decided to use the can of worms for bait 😂
What do you do with all the fish that you keep? Give it to friends? freeze it? Or do you just have one large cook-up!

I took home 10 whiting and 5 squid. Was perfect amount for a family dinner. I never take more then I need unless I'm stocking up on some extra bait.

Fished from geelong to St leonards that day. that whole stretch is excellent

Not when I throw them they dont
1 fish per plastic and its a whiting which are not really known for their teeth. Thats a big no for your average fisherman. I bet the end of the day was a switch to bait mostly because you had ran out of these hollow soft plastics.

Yeah, were very honest in all the vids we do. I said several times in the video that they were not durable. I caught at least 20 KG Whiting using the fat hollow sandworm soft plastics and went through about 3 packets
