Re: Fish everywhere
G'day
Depends what you want to catch, easiest to use and fairly proven for the salmon is a small metal of any type, I prefer the chrome twisty.
Seems the soft plastics in the darker colours seem to be going very well at the moment as well, otherwise for the bream, peeled prawns and timing seem to work

Re: Fish everywhere
I have found at Patto when using bait just try and use the smallest sinker you can get away with and a really quick retrieve motion usually avoids any hassles...this last trip was an exception to the rule, couldn't catch a break.
Most people were using metal slug type silvery/blue lures for salmon, casting almost to the other side of the river with a quick retrieve. there was a few throwing some light colored soft plastics also having similar success. Seems when they are interested pretty much anything will do the trick, just a matter of waiting for a school to swim by :victory:

Re: Fish everywhere
I went for a fish this morning. Mordi was a joke. w** poles all over.
Went to patto estuary and only 2 small salmon caught between 6 spinners and bait soakers. Not firing in Patto this morning.

OF ALL THE THINGS I LOST, I MISS MY MIND THE MOST.

Re: Fish everywhere
Went there today for bream, not a bite so changed location to the mouth of the river around 5-ish and using a paternoster rig got plenty of bites with pilchard as bait especially when the conditions became rougher but no luck reeling them in, also lost a few baytrout. Saw people catching small ones earlier on. Anyone know which part is best for bream? And what can you catch at the mouth? No idea what i had hooked onto

Re: Fish everywhere
When it's rough I've had luck with big bream near the mouth, generally though I've got on to a few around the bridge and down further near the boat ramp. I usually get bombarded with toadies tho too the further down the river I go BanggDaisymuffin wrote:Went there today for bream, not a bite so changed location to the mouth of the river around 5-ish and using a paternoster rig got plenty of bites with pilchard as bait especially when the conditions became rougher but no luck reeling them in, also lost a few baytrout.
