This mornings fish

After sitting in a rented house for 3 days watching the rain and wind howl in Dongara, finally got a hours fishing in. Nailed these two before packing up and heading home. Both released although one was hooked deep, it swam off to hopefully live to fight another day.

I have been looking at a bit more of a sub surface tailor lure, they have been a bit quiet on the richter. Where does waxwing sit in the water column?

they are a bit hard to find

Thu, 2014-07-10 12:41

they are a bit hard to find at the moment, I think the salmon season cleaned everyone out. You can fish these lures at any depth you want, let them sink to the bottom and twitch them back like a soft plastic. I find giving the lure about three seconds drop then a slow to medium retrieve with the rod tip pointed straight at the lure gets me best results for tailor.
