Lucky Placky
Fished Jurien on Thursday and Saturday. Australia Day was classic weather, but Northerly drift had sea anchor doing laps around the boat and lines heading in all directions, had out a lucky plastic that accounted for 2 Dhus on Thurs and one more on Sat, before I retired it. On retirement the next placky was taken by a small Sargent Baker, which in turn was engulfed by a big Dhu on a couple of occassions, but unfortunately did not find the hook, ended up with a couple of Baldies and Dhus on both days and the Reefrunner got to test her sea capabilities coming in on Sat in a serious Southerly blow from the bank. If your looking for a placky to try then this one was working in otherwise quiet conditions. Dhus went 8 & 9 kg both in great condition and fat. All in the 50's

I'm betting it's a Mcarthy.

how
really silly question, tried looking on you tube but the internet at work is shit as we are still sailing back from the trolical low.
how do you use soft plastics? do you use them like bait or like lures, nd do they come with the hook and sinker already in them?

Mcarthy 6 inch Hot Orange on lumo wobly head
Mates Missus reckons it was so ugly that it freaked her out while rods where leaned up against the couch in the house. No special technique other than try and get it near the bottom and see what happens. Certainly helps if your on good soundings.

Funny how things vary between areas
i fished good dhuie grounds out of two rocks on Australia Day, with exactly the same plastic on and got no interest whatsoever. Had a good sized "just enough weight" jig head, but couldn't even tempt a Sargent baker! I did manage a nice 6kg dhuie and a good sized blackarse on the dhu drop jigs though.
