G'day folks,
Looking foward to getting my drivers licence in about 6-8 months time there abouts. Mates and i have planned a trip down to Tagoolawah/Esk area where my Uncle lives when i score my licence, so we can camp at his place and then fish Wivenhoe and Somerset while we are down there. In the past we have just used live shrimp for the bass, which worked well on a suicide hook and some 6lb line, reeled on a little Daiwa seires 3 reel sticking to a 7' Outermark Pro-Target rod. I still have the combos, and my mates have their combo's aswell, but we are just after some advise for luring bass. What works well in places like Somerset and Wivenhoe?. Spinnerbaits? Plastics? Crankbaits?.
I know very little with Bass and lures and have a small collection of lures ready to go for the trip, which consists of 3 Kokoda G-Vibes (which i use for Sooties in the rivers up here), a few packets of Squidgy Hot-tail plastics, a few packets of Berkley Gulp (all with light jigheads), and 2 Kokoda Spinnerbaits (Purple), further more i have quite a lot of Kokoda in my lure boxes. Any other lures that i should add to that list? Also what techniques would go well with the lures? Twitch and pause? Rip and reel? Any feedback would be very helpfull to me and mates.
I will include a pic or two of some of the lures i already have... just for the hell of it ;D . I will name them accordingly. I just took the pic's not 5mins ago, and i could not include the Spinnerbaits and the Berkley Gulp range i have as my mate knicked off with them the other day as he is fishing the upper Mulgrave today and needed some stuff.
Cheers guys.
