    I've caught a few on rapalas but for a lake you will need the deep divers but there are way cheaper lures out there.Go heavy with that set up.

    Id say it would need a bit of weight to it to cast very far.
    For lake fishing there from the shore I would also try Shimano Waxwings, brown or rainbow trout colour in a small size.
    They have a very nice action, very different from the Rapalas which I also use a lot.

    What sort of retrieve speed should I be going for?

    Run the Rapala in the shallows and watch it. You will get the speed from that. The Countdown models are quite cool. Cast it out and let it sink. Count the time (hence the name) before you begin your retrieve to get into the depth you think fish may be. Start low and then progressively deeper until you start getting follows or better still a hookup. They run well at slow speed and the longer the lures in the water the better your chances. The Toby needs a bit more speed in my experience.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    They will do VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Add a black fury to your tackle box @bomber and I have caught heaps on them.

    Show me a pick.

    Could I legally fish from a boat?

    Been thinking its whitebait season and it could be worth casting a lure for a sea run? at high tide in the estuary here?
