    What are you making for Christmas?

    in The Bar

    Posted

    Here at Bear and Roo’s place we are making my Grandmother Marie’s fill cookies and a chocolate delight called Buckeyes.  On Christmas Day I’m baking the Turkey while Roo does the roast and well everything else.  What are your holiday traditions you are cooking up?

    Like i said as long as the mrs and boy are ok thats all that matters.

    I agree,   My boat is somewhat in danger of a large gumtree but nothing happened to it over the weekend.  Family first toys a far distant second.

    It Comes in Threes, Right?

    Hey Raiders,

    Thought I'd share how I tie Paternoster Rigs using my DIY peg board.  I'd never claim to having invented the peg board but geez since I've made mine it's made a huge difference. I pump out 5 paternosters in the time it took me to make one - and they are all the same !!!! 

    Anyway sharing in the hope it helps some other Raider.

    Cheers Zoran

    Yup. I use a combination of things.

    Zip lock bags, easy solution and they pack down flat. They do tend to puncture if you pre-rig with hooks though, and can give me trouble with wet cold fingers.

    @rickmarlin62 previously posted a great idea of using those CD carriers - they are like a travel case with a zipper all around with sturdy plastic sleeves inside. I immediately went and found the last surviving one in our house - it now stores my hairtail wire rigs - as the wire is springy. This is a great re-useable solution, its just that they are getting harder and harder to find (keep an eye out at garage sales!)

    I predominantly now just use a section of pool noodle. The pool noodle is bulkier but has the benefit that you can pre rig with different size and types of hooks. everything is easy to see. I use toothpicks (with a hot glued bead on the end) to fix the loop and just wind the rest of the rig on using the hooks to secure it on the noodle. Easy and quick and re-useable. Picture attached.

    Cheers Zoran

    Awesome work mate.

    Like others said mate,cd wallet works a treat.If your worried about hooks penetrating the plastic I've used ear plugs with good results on the hook points.

    I don't chase the big stuff, had albacore last weekend and yellowfin the week before. Striped marlin reports as far as Merimbula posted today on Facebook from the local tackle store. 

    Will head 50k offshore again over the weekend if the forecast stays good, in the hope of more albacore or yellowfin but not to interested in marlin. There have been a few good dolphin fish already down this way.

     

    Keep us wishers posted.  I’m envious
