The stickbaits went well, first time I've used them intensively and was very impressed. When worked slower, they sometimes seemed to get more strikes than a skipping popper, perhaps because of the lower profile in the water. But if you wanted to keep the rod tip up, they worked just fine bouncing across the top. Big queenies loved them too.

Dog turd
Nice fish on the dog turd there Ian, would have been great seeing it chase down the lure.

Only really started using them myself in the last 18 months. Awesome fun on salmon and small yellow tail kings at Rottnest.

Never tried stick baits
Never tried stick baits before but by the sound they do alright.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!
