Hi just one more question, what type of retrieve do you use?

Thanks for the advice

Nice catch!! What brand and weight micro jigs do you use?

even better!!

Squid on topwater! Message Donna, that's definitely a FR record! Looks like you're beginning to challenge Niall to be topwater king. Cheers Richard

A monster, Mike, on topwater as well!! Exceptionally well done

Hi XD, When I fish with my mate out at sea I usually connect my paternoster to a swivel and pre-tie about four more, save me having to tie the whole thing when re rgging. Just cut off below the swivel and re tie the new rig. Also makes it easier to change my sinker weight cheers Richard

Thanks for that XD

Just had a question. Can you bottom bash in the Hawkesbury river the same way you do out at sea?

Good luck!

Thanks for that

Hey Luckyfil, thanks for the info Richard

Hi Mike, I’m not too sure what you mean by this, could you please explain Richard

After the success of a previous early morning session, I decided to do another one. So was at the shore predawn using plastics. Didn’t have that much confidence in catching as I always thought plastics are a sight lure, I did use a lake paddle tail though. Sure enough I was proved wrong. Hooked up to a nice 31cm bream. As I brought it in a realised I didn’t have a head torch, so had to drag it close to a street light to unhook and release. Then hooked a small flattie, didn’t bother measuring. The bite died off so changed location. By now the sun was over the horizon but was being blocked by cloud cover. Was already quite satisfied with the session so any more fish would be a bonus. Well hooked a 38cm bonus, that put up a great fight. Decided to call it quits then. Coz I’m land based one thing I have started doing is casting out at 90 degrees and then walking 10-15m along the shore, effectively lengthening my cast. Don’t know yet if it really helps.

I put a mark on the reel that lines up with the drag dial.
