Fishing for Garrick in the upper regions of the Breede River

[Tim Allan]

I have been fishing the upper parts of the Breede(power lines) and am looking for advice on good fishing spots. I have been using plugs and live mullet but would like find out which alternative lures I can us for catching Garrick in the Breede

Hi There, I have had a few catches on 4 & 5 inch Pearl minnow Berkley paddle tails & the green colours as well! Hope this helps, tight lines!

 

[Def-e-nition]

i've all but given up on bloody Garrick Fishing !! I now confess to being absolutely useless at catching them , and have resorted to downloading images others have caught to fill mny hard drive .......Lol !!

I hit them hard in January on poppers , from stripe pro methinks , and i know a guy that swears blind nothing beats a white Thai Stick from same company .R54 . Cheap ,man .

silver spoons , but of the smaller variety , also seem to be making me jealous lately . Partly because it works so well , and partly because I don't have one ...

My next mish to breede will be with soft paddle tails . Hell - I've just about Tried everything else , short of jumping in off the boat behind them and catching em by hand ...
my Mission with the is solely due to that i reaaly want to hook one for my son .
But , try as i Might - grrrrrrrrrrrrr ,,,,,

Do you fish the paddle tails weightless?

always have lite weights on in order to keep them just below the surface! try to use jig heads rather as they give the lure a more realistic swimming action through the water! and just keep trying
