Went a bit better with the Longshank Baitholders and the squid strip at the end. Went to Merricks Beach yesterday; WP_20180411_16_58_38_Pro (2) (Small).jpg and got a baby whiting (thrown back); WP_20180411_14_38_24_Pro.jpg and a Pinkie (kept); WP_20180411_16_03_33_Pro (Small).jpg Pretty hard work - ...

If I get really good at it I might do a Youtube video.......only joking.

Cheers.

MMR.jpg For bait on the Whiting Snatcher I was using pipis, but to be honest this was only the 2nd time I've ever used pipi's and I basically had NFI ...

OK, cheers for all that.

Can't remember where I got it, it was a while ago - might have been online.

Think I'll go for a different brand.

Hi all, trying to tie an FG knot (trying being the operative word), 20 lb braid to 20 lb Vanish Flourocarbon Leader. When I went to cinch the knot down, the leader broke. Thought it must have been a weak bit of leader with some fault, but pulled more leader off the spool and tried pulling on it 3-4 ...

OK - cheers for that - they've certainly made it hard for the general public to get to. We looked up the house with the massive brick fence that runs along the walking track from the car park at the end of Daveys Bay Rd on realestate.com.au and saw it last sold for $7.7 million. :o_0: How the other ...
