Nope! Countless efforts chasing yellas on lures with no luck...flipside is I have caught more cod on lures in the last 7 months than I have caught in my life! :) One attempt at the salt at Brighton failed! Don't think I have attempted the surface cod fishing yet.

Your goal of a 40 cm+ redfin...do you have any tactics for the bigger models or just hope for the best?
cheers

Forgot I even had these lol - good post dredge :)
sloth wrote:40cm or better bream
Did this - but had to go to Tassie to do it. Still chasing a local bream and about 4cm short at the moment. But bream season is upon us ;)
sloth wrote:Bream on surface
Got close. If I could get past the EPs! Still chasing this but got my first species on surface this year with a yarra EP.
sloth wrote:Mulloway on lure
Haven't even tried. I'm too focused on my breamin' at the moment. I reckon I've hooked one this year though ..... Possible I'll get one as bycatch but I'm not actively targeting them at the moment
sloth wrote:Get consistency at catching bream in my local ( maribyrnong ).
Going to say this is done. When I wrote this I remember I was really struggling to pull bream at the Nong. I've pulled quite a few this year now .... And I have a lot more productive sessions than donuts. Still - the Nong is the one place I can rely on to crush my confidence when I think I've got it owned lol.
sloth wrote:minimise my SP and HB lures to a core set of lures that work for me
Finally managed this :) The "rule" to stop lure proliferation is that I can only have one tray of hards and one tray of softs:

Still got to christen 8 lures ... But the majority is done. I've started to only carry the ones I need to christen ...... Hard to leave old favourites behind though ;)

Haha ... Yeah ... Right

sloth wrote:Own a kayak (hopefully)
Don't think this is going to happen. Had a loan kayak for six months which I've used once. For how I fish I realised I need a pedal yak - and that means box trailers and a few thou to do it properly - it's also not family friendly so thinking a boat is a better option (but that's a long time off too!)

Only need a trailer if you are buying a proangler. Everyone I know with revo's outbacks and natives out them on roof racks.

Without going back, I popped the only one I tried for, got my big king. Hopefully next year I get a weekend to sneak out for a big bass in amongst trying for 15-20kg kings

Sloth, there's also the inflatables that fit in the boot. Super stable, just storage isn't as good as plastic and they're slightly slower

Yeah wife's not to keen on car topping the yak - thinks I'm clumsy haha.

The bigger issue with the yak is the family can't come with me.... Wouldn't mind something where the kids can come along when they're a bit older. Maybe some kind of poly boat or even a tuff tender would do ok for the local rivers ..... But then it's the travel times from the warmies up the rivers :/
