Re: Unusual catch
Contrary to what most think.
KG is definitely possible on plastics. But not something that happens often down here locally. Great catch nonetheless..
Mine would have to be a banjo on gulp I think. Closely followed by a squid on a salmon slug.

Re: Unusual catch

Yeah, I was baffled myself. It was a very small squid at the mouth of Patterson River.Sebb wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:39 pmSquid on salmon slug??! Now that's unusual.purple5ive wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:08 pmContrary to what most think.

I'm not surprised, I used to hook them occasionally in the Maribyrnong on sandworm meant for Bream.

Re: Unusual catch
Kgw in the Nong??
First time I heard that too.
I guess though it's uncommon, its possible and precedented.

Re: Unusual catch
I've also caught a couple of KGW in Docklands on Gulp worms while chasing Bream.
The weirdest thing I've caught is a Mantis shrimp in Docklands on a live Mullet while fishing for Jewies.
