Bigfoot Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Tell Me Raiders, Have you been in a situation where? You lost or forgot, hadn't yet purchased or couldn't afford to buy Tackle or bait and then have improvised with substituting the Known and tested with the Unknown and Invented? Nothing quite like using bait you just wrangled from the surroundings or making that specialised article of tackle nobody has ever conceived let alone seen before from something you found washed up on the shore after realising you left your lure box at home and the greenbacks are smashing baitfish at your toes.........is there? Whether it be Rods or lures, sinkers or jigheads, a float that doesn't, or anything and everything in between. Hooking, then Landing a good fish with the help of something that started as a figment of imagination and became the Lynch pin that Secured a meal for you and yours is special.......isn't it? As for the art of catching your Bait, A bit of time lost learning equals a lifetime knowledged gained. What do YOU say? Bigfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfusher Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi bigfoot I was fishing of a jetty with a mate and had our rods out. we were just kickin back drinking some coke. We finished our coke and decide to make a small handline out of it. tied it to the jetty and sent it down. 5 minutes later the float was down and we hauled in a 40cm trevally What are the odds!! Biggest fish ive caught of the jetty!!! Cheers Mcfusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 How did you manage to catch the trevally though? Did he just go for the hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingpig Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I have used a large barrel lead that was sraped with a knife to make it shine, with two hooks tied to the line back to back ( the same knot). This has caught many tailor of the beach and some good bonnies of the rocks. Also I have used a piece of white cloth wrapped around a ball sinker and tied off with the same hook rig. This has aslo caught many tailor. Cheers Kingpig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
