After lunch today I get a phone call from Tryhard (Matt), another session tonight chasing bream on poppers at a little inlet south of Forster, my answer; â€Å"You bet, I am keen to go out againâ€

Victor, top report mate and what a good session, throwing poppers around is something entirely new to me , but you can bet your whatsit i will be doing it next outing, and thank you very much , i have just had to order another $75 worth of poppers from lureworld, i just gotta stop reading these reports :roll: :roll: :roll:

Bazzoo,

In the last two days using poppers I have learn't that they are ideal for very shallow water ( to Kayak avantage), also when the water is fairly quite where the fish are feeding on the surface. These conditions also suit flyfishing.

You guys are having a blast of a time up there. The AFC comp was up there and they didn't catch as manny bream as you two.
Good work guys, I'm just jealous.

Cheers Dave

Nice work again guys

 

[YakAtak]

Sounds like ideal conditions, just before the storm is often a good time for a popper session.

 

[Clarkos]

Nice work boys. Might have to drag out a few of my bass lures for Saturdays trip by the looks.

Magic report guys - can't believe you're catching whiting on poppers! :shock:

Great work fellas. It was not that long ago that catching bream on lures was almost unheard of - now catching them on poppers?? Can you mention how you work them - is it a fast or slow retrieve, stop start, sideways etc?? Theres a few spots in SA that I reckon they would work as weed prevents the effective use of diving minnows. Well done again.

awesome stuff guys, and good to see that AKFF has formed another friendship! I also have a few R2S 35 Bubble pops but havent given them much of a go as yet....methinks I'll be trying them out soon!

Matt, i'm interested in your light, can you tell me about it? (sorry - off topic)

 

[aleg75]

Brilliant report Vic! making me even more keen to hit the salt!

 

[Y-Knot]

nice fish fellas - love the look of the water ya fishing on...

Those popper reports really fire up the adrenalin

 

[victor-victor]

Using poppers was a real eye opener and the success I was able to achieve with tryhard's help. They will definately be part of my kit when chasing bream from a Kayak.

One of the best things about catching up with other AKFF is friendship and the ability to learn something new that you can not really learn from a book. Going out and doing it with the help of someone who has taken the time to learn and willing to pass some of the knowledge. This is priceless :!:

If anyone is going away for a holiday or for a weekend away, I would recommend trying to catchup with other members on this forum because the experence can be pricesless. Like me I walked away with a HUGE popping grin :lol:

Great report guys, looks like you had a ball

I have been starting to think about targetting Bream around the Marina's and Canals here on the Gold Coast, reading your reports is giving me a bit of an idea where to start

Cheers fellas!

Nice report guys, sorry im so late.

Got a few Poppers including a Skitter pop in a tiger pattern ( Typical Rapala colours ) which trails a small red feather thing behind it making for an attractive bleeding blooper, to be honest I havent used it but will try the smaller silver coloured Popper ( Forgot the name ) this comming week... With the skills I have read about above im sure I can entice a Whiting or even a bream from the top or bottom lake at Merimbula.

Well done and great photos, im getting jelous Victor! :evil:

It would be interesting when I get back to LBG and the fishing are surface feeding and teasing us by jumping next to the Yak. I think I might just cast a popper and see what happens :!:

I didn't quiet make a success with the whiting (Tryhard's the lucky bugger) but with the Flatties and Bream better success. Best of luck down the coast.

Actually I am really stoked on the success I had on Poppers. I tried a few times after (without out tryhard -- had to work, apprentice no more) and was successfully catching lizards (no littlies), bream was another matter but I was able to catch an odd one (ok only one bream).

My Xmas break was very successfully, I had fish on the plate for four people for six days (Catch that day eat that day! heaven) while I was in Forster for 9 days also with two trips pure C & R. I loved my wee holiday away from LBG! :lol: :lol:

Victor, you and that bloody tryhard have had me buying poppers since i read your reports , am very keen for a whiting on poppers as i didnt think this was possible. a new and interesting form of lure fishing , love it.

 

[victor-victor]

Barry,

Bloop.twitch.bloop or just bloop.bloop.bloop, just give it a go!.

Best of luck in using poppers and I can't wait reading your report ... It will be a just matter of time.

I did find (for me) early morning or just before sun set worked best. I think tryhard could go all day and still catch something on those little poppers.

Once it was dark I found getting the lure to bloop was very hard to maintain and trying to find a spot to cast, I got a little frustrated and didn't have much luck.
