Favourite surface lures for bream/trout
 

Getting started on doing some surface fishing in small estuaries. I am completely lost on where to start.

I'm a big fan of the duo poco poco lure for bream and whiting. Also done well on the Jackall chubby popper 42.

I've got bugger all experience with surface lures - so heres a bloke talking about some popular styles

And Heres Steve Morgan on the same subject

Bassday sugarpen for me.

Very easy to get the walk the dog action on them.

Bassday sugarpen's as above or the bassday backfire which I have taken a liking to lately

Bent minnow 86mm
Just about any 70mm or under walk the dog lures for bream .. Atomic make a 60mm one that works particularly well but i can't remember its name

Bent minnows are hard to beat, particularly if you replace the centre treble with an assist hook. Another great little 'walk the dog' lure is the Smith Towadi.

cheers guys

Always enjoy using a ZipBaits Skinny pop too ;). Regards, HBt

Bent Minnow and Jackall Micro-Tappy are the two major standouts for me

halco roosta 45mm

hands down for me OSP Bent Minnow 76f

super wakasagai, green & clown colours my 3 favourite

Added bonus this lure can be fished surface walking or more interestingly sub surface which seems to be where it really fires for me

ive had good success over the years fishing this lure middle of winter to the flats in summer few mates are like middle of winter on bents no way then come out and change their views really fast.

can hurt the hip pocket though when compared to other surface lures mentioned but definitely worth having at least one in your tackle tray
