snapperhead 523 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hi I have always been an avid watcher of Big Angry Fish I really like the show, it has given a few ideas which I intend to try this year and see if the same techniques they use will work here in SA. I have taken the first step in one of those ideas and now have in my possession my versions of Nathan's famous skutes. I did not tie them but I have been bitten by the bug and already have some ideas on my own versions for different species and going to teach myself how to tie them it cant be that hard . I was fortunate to ask someone I have known for a while and here are what I picked up today Ive got to say that I am really happy with what he produced I am now dying to get out try........if this #@%^ing wind ever stops long enough to allow me to go where I want to go. I will be making a sacrifice tomorrow on the sabbath to the weather gods Here's the 10 I got today bjorn2fish, KIDNEY SLAPPER, jackmac and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snapperhead 523 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Heres another version I reckon this one will smash the snapper as well in the water they really do pulse KIDNEY SLAPPER and AuusieDave 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Very nice... Planning to use them in shallow or deep water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapperhead 523 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is something that I hope will give me the edge next time on the tuna. They reckon the fish are shy and that they have seen everything..........Not these KIDNEY SLAPPER, dutchy, Meppstas and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapperhead 523 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 So now I have an excuse to fish more because I am conducting research into the effectiveness of these new creations. Ive have them in 1/8 1/4 and 1/2oz sizes to cover different locations and tides I hope that my "GLIDES" work a treat cheers snapps AuusieDave 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapperhead 523 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 @ Softy...at the moment I think I will be using them deep they are more effective I think as they say they pick up most of their fish on the sink but I have some light weight ones as well so I intend to use them eventually in some of my shallow spots cheers snapps AuusieDave and Softy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIDNEY SLAPPER 1,272 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 they look great would love to hear how you go using them as its something big angry fish also got me intrested in😎 AuusieDave 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 will work wonders i'd say,easy targets though snapper will eat a piece of newspaper. cheers nereus Rod 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bait Caster 113 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Get your mate to tie some BIG white ones. Mulloway killers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuusieDave 765 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks like a great plan SnapperHead, I reckon they'll work a treat, I've heard about some yakkers successfully doing the same thing for snapper and mullies. That's one of my favourite fishing shows too mate, snapper, kingfish, kingfish, snapper, all great species to target. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savage 297 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 i've always wanted to try the Nathan skute. Cant wait to hear your report. Are you fishing metro snapperhead or if memory serves me correctly up at Pirie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB tragic 743 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 These look very impressive. Have they been tried out yet? Regards, HBt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmck 628 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have often pondered whether 'skutes' is NZ accent for skirts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
