You only have 4 colours of baby vibe..............................what are you doing

Buy them all. Anyway if that doesn't work either sell all you gear and take up lawn bowls or lately I've been doing o.k. with laser pro 45's in gold/black and also crawdad. P.s. sorry for the long winded smart ass answer I was bored.

Regards Dave

If you have some baby vibes and sp's and hb's and flog an area with no hits, I would just move on. No point continually throwing money at a problem, thats how business close down

Unless you have crap loads of cash, in which case, go mad

Last couple of times I have been out I have blanked. But just need to keep heading out and bashing that water, I am looking forward to summer and being able to get the boat out more. I seem to catch easier in summer.

cannot agree more with the summer issue......i myself go into hybernation during winter......(lazy B@st@rd)

Easier in summer? I reckon winter is by far the easiest time to score quality fish..and stacks of them. Have you guys been trying downstream?

Hardbodies in the Swan are more suited to summer when the fish are more fiesty further upstream. Get a good selection of soft plastics and hit the lower reaches for a couple more months.

So in answer to the question. Grab yourself some single tailed grubs, sliders, culprits and snapbacks..can't go wrong with natural colours, work them slowly, and keep moving! ;-)

it's the best bait!

So that's why you kept all the squid we caught - to use as bream bait!!

shhhhh!!!!
dammit
don't be letting everyone know squid is the best bait

Squid from the narrows and upstream... *awesome*
