Welcome to the site....
I'm one of regular plunkers at meldrum bar and thetime is ...NOW. No really its now..me and my friend were fishing like a week back..and we got bites...2-3 times in like 2 hours...2/0- 3/0 hook....red or pink prawn tail or whole prawn...with a # 4-6 spin n glo...if the water is muddy ( say 2-3 vis), i will use spin n glo with rubber wings...and if the water is clear( 5-6 feet of vis), i'll use the shiny wings or mylar wings....
yopu don need to cast all the way in the river...say 10-15 feet and your good...put a bell on your rod and wait for the sweet music....and when the bell rings....tadaaa....dinner:dance: and yeah...prolly like 6-8 oz weight depennding on the flow....you can cast 12 oz but then it will roll too if you cast too far so you cast 10-15 and less weight..
do u use sliders....??? like double rigs...
