Well the wifey and I had our first crack at Lake Mac prior to the Hobie Bass Bash.......Mal "kinda" showed us around.... I must say that the southern lures and softies I use at home did stuff all......so, back on the water to see what another range of lures (or to pitch Mal's while he's not looking)..........will do.

For the record, Mal 6, Hobie Aus ZIP today.

Steve

Try something Victorian. Throw a VB at em.

Cheers

Scott

 

[Fishing Man]

try spinnerbaits mate,

 

[Scott]

Steve, what depth was Sun Hobie getting them at? If they were a bit shutdown maybe drop-shotting might be worth considering. As Fishing Man said a slowly rolled spinnerbait might also be worth considering. What were the successful lures on the day for Sun Hobie?

Catch ya Scott

 

[SteveFields]

well, a better day today so far.......changed a few things and caught fish from the get-go......after the first fish, took Hobie Vic's advice and poured some "VB" on the lure.....you can see the results....

the second was 40cm++

also a photo of Mal's little ripper.........I think he soaks his lures over night in 4x (XXXX).......you can see the results of XXXX

Steve watch out for Mal's secret weapon......the Zed!
