Tarban Creek Sunday arvo


Ryder

Recommended Posts

Just got home from a quick session down at the creek.

Started with my sugapen but switched over when there were no takers.

Satay chicken jerk shad on a 1/16th head.

I moved to the mouth and cast towards St Joseph's rowing shed.

After a few casts a nice little flattie around 30cm came ashore.

Heaps of bites and a few misses later,a good one inhaled my lure.

He must have been around 45cm. The plastic was lodged way down his throat,

Impossible to remove without causing damage, I snipped the line and let him go.

More bites more misses, when I snapped off on a snag I called it a day.

It was my double uni that failed, I need to master the Albright

Sorry no pics I left the phone in the ute.

The albright is a little tricky at first but with practice can be great knot too know i suggest practicing with heavier lines at first before going the lighter lines to learn on.

Others may know some easier knots too learn first.

Keep at the fish will become more consistant for you

Interesting to hear that a few other guys are using the 5 twist surgeon knot. I've been using it for years but never really above 10lb FC as the knot tends to get quite large after that. I seen it years ago on an old Adam "Mad Dog" Royter DVD and he swore by it. It's incredibly easy to tie and that's the main reason I started using it although I'm not entirely sure on the actual knot strength. After 10lb leader I use the bimini twist to GT knot.

Thank you, I watched your video on YouTube. Practiced it and used it today.

I snagged up again and this knot held, it was my terminal locked half blood knot that gave way.

No more mucking around.

Cheers Ryder
