And with the skirts, mix the sizes. Little 5/6 inches have caught some of the biggest fish in recent years

There are lotsa small fish (under 12kg) around at the moment. As has been said, the smaller lures including little 3" bucktails are working well. Having said that there are also some barrels looking for a BIG lure.

We do accommodation also in our home, secure boat parking too. If interested call Jan on 0407 900340.

Cheers.....ThomasG
