yellow door 1

Yeah after doing my own trial last night - I can see a hole in his method - I had 2 rods spaced with the baits spaced 3m apart - with 2 hooks per rig (25cm apart) - one hook had a piece of ENC and the other a scrub. One rod barely got touched but the other one 3m away was getting murdered - So if I'd wanted to make one worm look better than the other - all I'd have to do is use one type of worm on each rod and chuck the worm I wanted to win, 3m to the right

If I'd kept at it - Manually squeezing the water out of the bedding would have left me with fore-arms like Pop-eye. But laying it on the concrete for half a day got the job done - it wasnt even that warm and it dried much faster than I was expecting - the wind must have helped

Yeah I stuffed up - I thought I was buying Africans but I actually got European Night Crawlers which are more tolerant of the cold - so that worked out well - I did do a test last night with Europeans versus Scrub worms on little bream - they dont seem to care what you throw - a worm is a worm to them (They will smash the Tiger worms aswell) I got a tip from a bloke who used to grow mushrooms - he said he used to put his mushies next to the hot water system outside because its a few degrees warmer than anywhere else out doors.

Thanks Captain - Yeah if it was just a holding bin, I wouldnt be so concerned but I want them to breed in there. I've since been informed, that the bedding material is still way too wet - so I'm going to lay it out on the concrete and dry it out - but other than that - It should be good.

Haha - Thanks Doobie - at the rate I'm currently collecting - I'll be able to retire at 147

I've never done it before so I thought it might be interesting for those who havent either Worm unboxing - 0.00 Size Comparison between Tigers and African Night Crawlers - 2.10 Current temp in Worm Bins - 2.50 Cheeky tip for Keeping Worms Warmer in Winter - 3.46

I havent kept African Night Crawlers before so let me know if I could do anything better - thanks

Just a warning - if you are using newish fireline it can be a pain in the arse due to the waxy coating - its very slippery when new and stays that way for a while. Other braids are much grippier which means you can get away with fewer wraps - I do about 20 wraps per knot these days

Yeah you can avoid the teeth altogether by tying a loop and looping that over you first guide or tie it to the bail arm like this fella

If you tie a little knot in the braid - and put that behind your teeth - it takes far less jaw pressure to hold the line in your mouth Heres a vid of how I do the wraps - you can tie 4 with very little fatigue compared to some other methods I've tried

A mate of mine was using his custom bream rod for the first time and it was performing like an absolute mule. Guide wraps and wind knots all over the place. At first he thought it would just take some getting used to. But after a couple of hours, he thought there was something seriously wrong with it. One look at the micro guides and the double uni, was all it took to diagnose the problem. I tied him an FG and suddenly this worthless piece of crap was performing like a dream. So with the new trend of Micro guides on light weight rods - FG's really get to show why they are worth the e

I'm not one to get into cool knots just for the sake of it - So I resisted the FG for along time - I was like - my knots are fine and they are easy to tie, so why bother with a fancy one that takes 2 minutes But the FG is all I tie these days- if your Braid is stronger than your leader - you can tie it the night before and it will last all day - because the line always breaks at the uni I tie to the lure or the hook. It wasnt until I started chasing Mulloway landbased that I needed the strongest and almost as importantly - easiest to cast - knot available. I needed to pump out

“The labor we delight in physics pain.” ― Shakespeare, Macbeth I'm one of those weirdos that enjoys the problem solving of making my own tackle. You could definitely buy much prettier versions of what I'm making but I dont.. I like trying alot of different types of fishing. But I'm not sure I will enjoy them or whether that method will be suitable for the spot I'm fishing. Some of those styles need considerable cost and waiting times, for things to get delivered. If I make my own stuff - it cost me next to nothing - I can tweak the design to meet my needs - its ma

The cogs keep on turning round the same old mill - but I reckon I've perfected the lead system - I can now relax Roofing lead smashed flat over a skewer of wire - with Cable ties drilled for the acceptance of a small snap swivel

Galvanized wire should - (can also run the wire through the bean sinker before whacking it with a hammer}

And when the Glue doesnt hold.

If you're fishing an urban river - there can be no better camouflaged float than the rough cut polystyrene that naturally occurs in urban water ways It wont win any long casting competitions but the fish are so used to bits of white foam floating down my creek, that it should fit right in

I was running low on beads and I figured I dont need beads in all the scenarios I use them. I mainly use them to stop my "rubber line stops" passing through or getting wedged in my floats. So I holed punched a plastic milk carton - sharpened a thin bit of wire and stabbed them through. The wire leaves a neat little hole - Too easy

Just smashed some sinkers flat with a hammer and 2 part epoxy-ed them to the back - super glue wasnt holding.

You wet the bread crumbs down so they can be moulded into a dough - that dough will survive being cast out and getting to the bottom. Then it will dissolve, get washed out by current out or be pecked out by fish but yeah, you want the burley to fall out eventually - you just have to get the right dampness of the mix - so it falls out on the bottom and not while being cast. I had the mix in this vid about perfect before I added the corn - then it got a bit rubbery - so you have to watch how much moisture goes in or it will clump and not be released
