quickie this arvo
having recently had my birthday i was stocked up with a new light spinning outfit (dropshot 2-4kg, shimano sienna 1000). having no luck yet to date with the set up i wasnt holding my breath but as the weather has held up the past couple of arvos i decided to head out today to the river near sunset.
the first on was the tailor, totally unexpected, provided a decent fight for its size (i was particuarly happy as i had never caught a tailor before). then half a dozen casts later a small bream.
what i am finally understanding is that this set up is very sensitive (compared with my previous ancient crappy set up), especially with the braid. i had never used braid before and its amazing how you can feel whats happening down the end of the line.
i had headed out the previous week flicking small hbs around matilda bay with no luck...hopefully i can manage to snag my self something decent on a lure this spring. i have a (very) small amount of experience with fishing the swan successfully.
so can any body give me any advice regarding flicking lures around the shallows? i have a R2S FingerLing Shad and Halco Laser45.

Nice work gumby
Some good captures there. Nice looking combo you are using. I love the Dropshots.
