  1. How often do you have to tie an FG knot whilst wading? How light do you fish? I wouldn't have thought that you break too many knots at all. I fish 4pound most of the time sometimes 8 pound leader at the most. I don't have to retie many leaders mate but when I do need to change one I end up doing a double Uni and find they tend to catch the guides more and break more often If I can tie the fg easily while out there then I wouldn't have to worry about as many I also tie my lures rather than using clips so sometimes a leader change is needed due to needing more rather than breaking them off
  2. I was using the fg knot on all my setups but have found when wading the flats it's just too hard to tie while trying to keep your reel out of the water and the wind fighting you I normally just use the double Uni while wading and fg when in my boat I have just been told I have 3 of the knot assist devices on the way to me which should make the fg knot a bit easier while wading😎
  3. That tool looks great My mother in law is in Japan atm guess who now needs to go to a tackle shop for me now
  4. Lol it has gone very quiet I still have my tail between my legs after my wife killed me 😢
  5. Yep great reels I love them I use a 1000 ci4+ atm and it has caught 50cm salmon no problem. Just takes a bit longer to get them in but part of the fun I say
  6. Yep I've got one little spot on yorkes that has always produces me 40cm + yfw that I want to throw some flys at. I need to hit yorkes for work in the next two weeks so fingers crossed I can slip in some fishing
  7. I think this year as my fishing time will be very limited again due to kids sport I will be targeting one of my favourite fish on one of my favourite areas....... Yfw yfw yfw yfw on the flats flats flats And by this you will be spending a fair amount of time out my way

  16. So I'm lucky enough I'm going on a four day fully paid trip to Darwin in August by one of my suppliers On the Saturday I had a choice of a few different activities. Options varied from the jumping crocs tour, the place that has the clear tub they put you down to the croc in, day spa, free day to your self etc etc My choice of course was a full day fishing charter which I disappointedly found out today is a off shore charter. Don't get me wrong I'm sure it will be awesome but was really wishing to fulfill a long time dream on flicking some lures in the creeks and catching my first bara. I al
  17. Great report and some good sized salmon looks like you had a good couple of days weather wise too. Interesting to hear the seals are back Last time I was down there the seals had disappeared to go breed shame they came back but that was always going to happen.
  18. Awesome little bag I'm currently using one I got from bcf. Can't remember the brand but more a bum bag style that I throw over my head and shoulder but that looks like a great bag for my flats fishing. What website did you order it from
  19. No fishing for me. Been flat out with work, kids sport, kids sport oh did I mention kids sport Also been throwing myself down some muddy hills on the mtb Hoping I might get a couple hours on the flats this weekend
  20. Had a go at Maslins Sunday arvo, lots of walking and casting and not a touch. Very happy with my new lure bag setup though, a Daiwa Trout Bag with my own customised lure storage system! There's a good winter post, do tell regarding the bag and custom lure storage. Pics would be good
  21. Great report mate I spent a load of time down there camping at corney with my grandparents as a kid then they bought a shack at the pines It has a really special spot in my heart
  22. I know I've mentioned it already but go have a feel of Azusa, I just love mine
