mrsswordfisherman Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 One of our fishraider members nominated our well known moderator Scratchie to become a guest on a podcast. Jeff jumped at the chance to help others (as usual) and the episode was recorded last week and posted up this morning. The interviewer is Greg "Doc Lures" Vinall aquatic scientist and PhD and he was delighted to interview Jeff on Broughton Island Snapper Introducing The Australian Lure Fishing Podcast episodes ......... OBJECTIVES Find and interview a seriously talented Aussie lure fisherman about how to fish for a sport fishing species they’ve mastered Extract from each of our guests the essence of their success on that species and where they think other fishermen go wrong in their quest Provide a refreshing new way to get your fill of fishing info whilst you’re in the car, at the gym, on a plane, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts Doc did not have to look very far to find a seriously talented lure fisherman who has mastered snapper fishing. Here is a fantastic podcast from our own @Scratchie CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO SCRATCHIE'S INTERVIEW Thanks very much for 35 mins of your wisdom and the great shout out to fishraider at the end 14 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerialangler Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Well done to Jeff “Scratchie” and Fishraider for getting some recognition for their hard work in bringing fishos together Who would have thought that Jeff’s secret weapon all this time was a green singlet!! Something he didn’t share with me I listen to the ALF podcast and its very interesting and informative now it’s even more informative after scratchie’s interview!! Awesome Edited July 6, 2020 by Aerialangler 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoods Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Love your work Scratchie!! How many times do you see boats driving over your drift area?? I'm not a surfer but I think they call it "dropping in"?? Hopefully your informative piece will educate a few more of us and improve it for all fishos... Thank you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks guys and thanks @mrsswordfisherman for putting up this post and your support as always. As you can tell I’m a very proud fishraider and I just love giving back to a site that has taught me soooooooo much! Since joining the site I’ve read nearly everyone’s fishing report (actually all of them) and I’m still learning from your posts all the time. There have been many fishraiders that have had an influence on me starting with @swordfisherman who really inspired me with his enthusiasm for fishing and his preparation on every trip! You watch someone like that and no wonder he’s a gun fisho! Then there’s been some past raiders that taught me gamefishing and everything they know in that field. Then I paired up with a good mate @dom that was when the real passion for snapper started especially with soft plastics. I’ve listened to plenty of you on how to catch the humble flatty for instance. Nearly all of my mates that I fish with now are fishraiders. Fishing with @Woodsy1 and @back cruncher we’ve shared plenty of memorable moments. So this site has given me so much and will do the same for you! You get out of it, what you put into it. And finally, thanks to @Aerialangler for his nomination for the podcast. I’ve taken Kent fishing before chasing snapper (with Baz) and we often exchange texts when he’s headed up this way! Hope you all get something out of the podcast and I hope you are all proud to be fishraiders! tight lines, cheers scratchie!!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Great stuff, Scratchie! That was a good listen! I don’t normally listen to podcasts or too much talking on the radio as I prefer to read (or listen to music) but that was a good listen! 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) I just heard that every K-mart/Target & Lowes within a 200km radius of Port Stephens have sold out of green singlets, I know this because Im trying to buy one now 🤔🤣 I only just listened to the podcast & there are some fantastic tips in there, one in particular that stuck with me from our first meeting with scratchie up at PS & that was about not driving over the fish to your drift start point & changing the start of your drift point to scan the whole area, I have been using that ever since! The other is the jighead size being the light as possible. Thanks for sharing your passion & knowledge Jeff. Looking forward to catching up in September Edited July 7, 2020 by kingie chaser 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Top stuff Scratchie. What a fantastic ambassador you are to Fishraider and even the wider angling community. The depth of passion you have for your sport has no limits. Cheers, bn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a fairly superstitious person. In fact, there are several ways to drive to the boat ramp. If I use my boat I drive one way and a different way if I’m travelling on someone else’s!

Mate we all have our own little idiosyncrasy's, whether we think it brings us luck or for any other reason. Im not a superstitious person but I know of quite a few sports people who are, like Steve Waugh with is red hanky. At the end of the day if it works for you then that's all that counts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you add the word “career”, then suddenly the fun is taken out of it.
