Ryder Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4z Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nice one mate. The SP day last week is definitely paying off. Sounds like a good size flatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hawkesbass Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_ Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 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.

Ryder Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 go with the five turn surgeon loop and stop mucking around 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.
