All Activity

While I wasnt too concerned about the reddies smashing the worms - (They did smash them) But I figured they needed a tougher test Turns out the bream dont mind them either

This was a trip to the upper Mersey River, dull overcast conditions made for a good spin session in the river with quite a few rainbows being caught & released. cheers Adrian

Heres the white one swimming bait fish style

The new fake Zman sand worms arrived - very impressed with strength, flexibility and best of all, the tail wiggle on the pause

Yeah the creative juices were flowing today - Just shaved a couple of mins of my inflate time and also added a nose plate to stop my toes from getting crushed

Sometimes it can be a wild ride on the bog and you need 2 hands to hang on Surfing strikehook on the job just got a whole lot easier. I cut my groove on a 22 degree angle

Haha - I take the wimps way out - I even take a seat while the 12 volt pump does all the work. I saw a bloke with a cordless usb rechargeable pump the other day - he reckons he can blow up 3 kayaks off one charge - the thing was about as big as a pack of smokes So theres plenty of options out there for the lazy man

Thanks Kelvin - yeah I get less and less surprised when Yellas eat tiny lures after ignoring my big ones

I'd be too stuffed from blowing it up to go fishing!!! I admire your stamina... can I please have some?

nice fish

What kind of idiot buys a cheap inflatable kayak to fish out of - This sort of idiot Ive already fished out of an inflatable belly boat without putting holes in it - so I figured with the temps dropping, I may aswell get a yak aswell. Foot room sux bad but the seat is super comfy. I was chucking big lures for the first 2 hours without a hit - So I swapped down to a 1.5 inch paddle tail. That didnt do much but at least I got a little reddy - Then I decided to troll the 1.5 inch for the last 50m back to the car - thats when the yella scoffed it

Dammit - just found a seller that does 50, 8cm, tpe worms for about $6.35 delivered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...8daM514WE&mp=1

The arrival of those fake Zmans has coincided with a bit of a dip in fish activity - both the Eps and red fin are being a bit fussy. I was throwing around some unweighted sand worms at both species this evening. That seemed to perk them up a bit. But my standard mojiko worms are too thin to be durable enough to use on species with so many short strikes. So I searched for some more fake ZMANS in a sandworm style. The swimming action on these is bound to be better than stuff Ive used before https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003280088891.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_

Looks like really tough conditions.. [emoji23] Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I'm out here now. Nuff said

The fake ZMANS arrived - looking forward to giving these a spin

After watching a school of salmon swing by the pier - I saw that even they can be selective when in a frenzy - and the guys doing most of the catching, had a few things in common. SO I tried making my jigheads a bit fancier. I put on a couple of coats of the cheapest spray paint at bunnings - fiddly bits in matt white. But it didnt hold on to the lead very well - and I should have done more coats- I was warned Id need to use a primer paint on the lead first but ignored those warnings. Also learned that spray paint and polystyrene dont play well together

as the guys have mentioned - you can get some good results with nail polish - the glitter over lays on a matt back ground would add some sparkle
