PB Dhu
Went out on Tuesday, was a great day on the water with plenty of fish caught and to top it off got my PB Dhu. He took a pink McCarthy soft plastic on an elevator jig head. Not quite in the league of some of the big Dhus that have been posted on here lately but sure brought a smile to my face when he surfaced next to the boat.
I don't normally fish plastics but since I couldn't get any interest in jigs (bait was winning the day big time) I sent down the pink McCarthy bullhead minnow on an elevator jig head and things turned around immediately. The placcy got hit first drop, up comes a 58cm dhu, swam away strongly after release. Second drop and this time the placcy got smashed hard after a couple of twitches, this time it was a Sambo just over 90cm. Third drop and the plastic gets smashed again! Turned out to be third time lucky as after a good fight up came this Dhu. Happy Days!

nice one mate! Glad you
nice one mate! Glad you didn't succumb to the dark side when bait was winning :-)
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Iv bought a few placcys for the mrs. The battery powered ones take a lot less work to get results and are superior to the natural thing

Same thing as with a jig andy, couple of short jerks up to about 5 metres and let her back down again - need to keep it straight up and down.

Thanks guys. Yes, might have to change my user name, must say good things have happened since I switched from bait to artificials.

Congrats
That's part of the reason we keep going back. Well done on the PB.
