Jig heads need to be strong and you will require a variety of weights and sizes to cover different-sized plastics, water depths and currents. Plenty of different soft plastics brands are on the market and all will work. I use Z-Man plastics for the massive range and their strength as well as the humble Squidgy Fish. Vibration lures are designed …

AS winter finally comes to an end on the Gold Coast and we head into September Springtime fishing let’s have a look at how our customers went last weekend and during the week.

The Gold Coast has seen a bit of variety on the weather scene this week from moderate SE winds over the weekend to rain on Wednesday and a cold Westerly change to finish off the week.  Just like the weather we have seen a variety of fish being caught as well.

My Sea Jay 370 Creek Masta entered the water two hours later and we collected our tags and recording sheets and waited for the go ahead. I had a casual flick off the bank while watching the sunrise and a little bass decided my Z-Man Slim SwimZ looked like a good breakfast. So that was the first one for the …

We’ve had mostly light winds for the past week on the Gold Coast, except for strong W/NW wind last Saturday that made the daytime temperature rise to 29 degrees.  From Sunday onwards we have moved back into a more normal winter weather pattern, seeing the temp drop and a few nice fish biting. Customers have been scoring some nice catches …
