By Andy Smith Recently I jumped at the chance to head to Warrnambool in south west Victoria to have a fish with good mates John Cahill and Dave O’Brien, targeting Southern Bluefin Tuna that had pushed relatively close to the coast for these waters. The tuna had become finicky in their feeding patterns, feeding on small whitebait and many…
Congratulations to Paul Malov and Mr Malov Snr who finished third in the recent Vic Bream Classic round held on the Glenelg River. This is their third top ten finish and sees them in firm contention for team of the year. The stand-out lure was the Bassday Kangoku Vi b C-174 (pictured).
The Mackerel are back on the north coast of NSW and the spotties are specials for a well presented live bait. We headed out off the north coast last week to chase a couple and considering we were targeting these fish, some classic poor communication resulted in us being quite unprepared. First we forgot the…
Day 5 was our last fishing day and we spent it at the small beach on the other side of the island filming some segments on new Atomic lures. The big boat managed to drift away in the current and I was excited at the prospect of seeing man walk on water, or at least a 100m…
Fishing up here is on the reef is not only exciting but the scenery is also spectacular. We passed many coral cays and fringing reefs on the run to fish a reef quite wide on a dropping tide. As we waited for the turn, Atomic Seekers up to half ounce and Plazos in the 4 inch…
Our first day of solid fishing dawned and first up we decided to head out to chase GTs on poppers rigged with Gamakatsu Treble GT 24′s. Throwing large lures along reef edges is taxing but the Samurai Pop 10 and 12′s handled this task with long casts allowing us to get tight in to the…
A short video from BassFishingAddicts on how to use Gamakatsu Spinnerbait Trailer Hooks. There are also new models available including the plastic which is pre-moulded over the eye.
I recently returned to a place called Wirrina in SA to fish with a good friend chasing tasty little garfish. I usually find best results are achieved before the moon has set but in this case with a 3.30am start and no moon in the sky, I thought why not. The gar were slow but…
Gamakatsu have released an innovative new trailer hook designed specifically for spinnerbaits. The hook features a black rubber cap over the eye which has been moulded as an inbuilt keeper which stops the hook from sliding off or hanging in a position that is not going to catch fish. The Spinnerbait Trailer Hooks are nickel…
South Coast kayak hellman, Jeff Sheppeard achieved the fish of a lifetime when he hooked and fought a marlin out of his kayak recently. Jeff is known for his extreme fishing and and spends many hours searching for fish of this calibre. Heading out about 7 kilometres offshore, Jeff used a whole fish on a…
