Working the Coogee Flats with Lures...
Gday guys and girls,
I went down to Woodman's Point Ammo Jetty this morning for an early morning fish this morning before me footy match and the jetty was jam packed with anglers. So I did'nt even bother fishing off the jetty and I just stood there and have a look at whats on going on the bottom, so I had a good hard look for about 30mins and saw a few Bartail Flathead and Flounder. So I whacked out some softplastics such as Berkley Bass Minnow 3'' and other variety of splastics, so I walked the beach around the jetty casting away and nailing 3 Flathead and 1 Flounder including 10 solid Herring within 2 hours of fishing. So I was just dropping by to say that if you wanted to try something different and its always a great way to spend a day walking the beach and casting plastics on the flats around Coogee.
I was armed with:
Rod- Blackdiamond 2kg
Reel- Penn Affinity
Line- 4lb braid
Leader- Berkley Vanish 4lb
Lures- Bass Minnows, Snapback Softplastics, River2Sea Baby Vibes, Squidgies and Halco Scorpians 45.
So to sum things up all you need is your Bream gear, array of softplastics and hardbodies and a backpack with your lures in it. But definetly take a water bottle cause walking the soft sand takes a fair bit out of you. I'm sure its going to fire up during summer and I'm definetly gonna be back casting plastics around the flats.
All the best for the future fishing trips!
Cheers.. Jangles

ok, preparing for another storm from the missus....
I bought some 4lb berkley fireline to refit my procaster with... then going to run 6lb nitlon flurocarbon for leader...
got some of those 3" bass minnows and i got a baby vibe and halco scorpion to try out on the flats...
will see how that fits and if it goes well, ill buy some more...
got some owner size 4 needle points too...
I think im ready for bream now :D
ps, guy was saying that the snapbacks you see now are the last of them... the company which makes them in the US pretty much pulled the plug due to the unpopularity of them in the USA. So.. HMMM buy up before theyre all gone!
