Grab a River2Sea Static Shed 60 in the Black colour if you want to do some night flicking, it's deadly.

Hey crabs,

Im with mitch on the river2Sea, have had luck at night with that, also i have had some success with my oar-gee lil ripper in blood nut, its black with bright red head and white stripes.

thanks to everyone who replied.

i just gotta get some cash together to get me this gear.

i tried to use my lure without a sinker (it just floated and would not sink to the bottom at all) if im wrong to put a sinker on then i'd like to know please - i forgot to take my tackle box with me - damn hour trip for nothing

seriously retarded sometimes haha.

thanks people

cheers crabs

What type of lure are you using, Most HB lures float until u start retreving them, then they will dive down to say 1.5m or whatever your lure is rated too.

You wont need a sinker.

[crabs]

its a halco laser pro 45 - the HB with black top and gold underbelly with red eyes.

and it says "1 metre" on the box

so that means it'll dive to 1 m when i retrieve? (but how do i cast it long away enough so that the lure swims for enough time because its not heavy enough to travel long distances when i cast.

and another thing where do i cast with it and how deeper water.

should i cast next pilons and wade out to chest deep water or just fish the clear water or the flats or from jettys (im paranoid about getting snagged though and im a noob im not going to lose my 9 buck lure lol)

thanks ppl
cheers crabs

dont use a sinker and get fireline in 4 or 6 pounds u wont regret it

[Rob C]

If you wade to waiste deep and cast out and do a very slow retrive it should work.

[crabs]

alright i'll prolly head out to south perth n have a go somewhere in south perth (if you live in perth) what area for a noob do you reccon i should try something nice n easy, something to get used to the lure and not get snagged, also a place you reccon i might get a couple of hits

hi Crabs,
You should try fishing the flats from mt henry right up to south perth yacht club. I was down the canning bridge way yesterday and caught 3 bream. Its nice and easy, not many snags. When the tide is low you can walk out a fair way and cast into the drop offs.

Cheers,

[crabs]

sweet i'm going to head out just now and try it all out.

best to start fishing and use the advice people have given me.

thanks ports cheers mate.

-crabs

also try upstream of mt henrey
there are plenty of good flats between rossmoyne and riverton bridge
ive been catching more around there lthen at mt henrey lately
try and keep ure rod tip fairly high and use a slow retrive

[crabs]

i fished the flats and didn't get 1 bite

i also fished at point walter and i didn't get 1 bite there either

would have stayed longer but my line seriously screwed up and im pretty angry because u can't fix it i'm going to have to replace the line - but i got 2 job interviews tomorrow and then i'll have money to buy a sweet ass setup and my own car to boot so i hope that all goes well

thanks everyone - if anyone was down there i was the short tanky guy in the water or the guy with the black beany at mt henry flats (im easy to spot lol)

im famous in my own mind

Yep, definitely can use HB's at night. Use downunder blackbeetle. Top lure, shallow and deep.
