Hey all, im going down to walpole (franklin river) dunno if you have heard of it or not but ive been before a couple of times and produced alot of bream, last time i went mate got a 40 cm but i was just wondering cos im going down in a couple of weeks will it still be to late to use hb's seeing as its winter??? Im planning to use 6" gulp sandworms but i was wondering if i should bother with hb's and if so what should i use in what colour?

cheers james

I would suggest hardbodies will work a treat down at Walpole

specially on the flats.

Gold/orange/black colours work well

Do a search on Walpole - there's hours of reading here

Hello James, hard bodies are alway worth a shot down there, try anything red, green, brown, gold or black and fish it slow and something is bound to show some interest.

cheers guys, my bday is while we are away so ill ask for some dosh as an early birfday prezzie and go down and buy some hb's
i guess sx 40's strike pros and laser pros are the way to go

If you're going to fish the rivers, the a few deep divers are also worth stocking. My fave is the Taylor Made Tiny Nugget in fluro orange, but some of the Jackall Chubby are worth taking as well. There are some good flats out near the channell markers that I would also try. Around the exposed little islands? often have bream swimming around them.

Either way, enjoy yourself. It's bream heaven for sure.

tiny nugget?? never heard of them b4 where can u get them from? and prices?

Bear · #10 30-06-2006, 07:31 AM

Around $10 per lure and I believe GotOne Woodvale have them.

Fish_crazy · #12 30-06-2006, 07:36 AM
