Parked up here at Lake ratzcastle with the rod and net in.

And had a good 250-300mm yellow belly snap my line yesterday.
Of course as always last night here and the weather is turning bad
Here is the lake
Spent the day out at western port only 1 pinkie. Still a great day to be out.
Plenty getting caught around Sandringham, Blackrock and around the P2 markerQuote:

My mate Miki, has been working in Kunnunurra for a little while now and one of his new friend took him on a fishing trip.
They ended up driving all night and ended up fishing at Laccrosse island.

I am relative new to building custom fishing rods, was a fishing guide for more than 7 years up north based out of Cairns working throughout FNQ and Cape York and have spent the last year learning as much about the craft as I can, reading everything I come across and talking to people in the industry, for me its something to keep me occupied since making the move down south to be with family, if you or anyone is after a custom rod by all means get in touch and we can have a chat about it.
Cheers
Scott.
A couple of builds,
One for the Ladies. Built on a MHX 6-12lb blank with Microwave guides.
Attachment 52003Attachment 52004Attachment 52005
One for the Kids built on a 6-10lb CRB Blank, with a yellow and black theme for there favourite footy team, we can also put names, nick names, favourite sayings, what ever you want on your new rod.
Attachment 52007Attachment 52006
And another.
Attachment 52008
And a little 2-6lb built on a Matrix blank, this will have Fuji K SiC micro guides and is still a work in progress, will be built for performance and comfort rather than looks and bling and will be my new one for up in the mountains chasing trout in the small streams and rivers.
Attachment 52009
Got a couple of really good ones coming up including a custom cork grip, still restoring an old old surf rod, hoping to bring it back to original condition if I can source the guides and reel seat, work in progress..
Iil get the boss to do your face ache page well done scott
Are you crazy Scott most ppl move to FNQ not away from there.
Might want to PM AB about becoming a Vendor on this Forum there are strict rules in place
Haha yeah I do miss it, but she was worth the move ;)
Will look into the Vendor thing,
Cheers.
Two casts, two squid both well over 1kg each. Apollo Bay harbour.
We won't mention the next 30 casts that produced zilch.

Wind, tide, temp, cool change
I've had plenty of days with no squid lately, no real changes in conditions. Close on high tide and very calm.Quote:

I've never tried a popper before but I have had minimal success with a jointed surface walker.Quote:

@ Mego you might miss my mate who caught a wallet with $200
in it at the Yarrawonga caravan park just at the spillway, true story
We were sitting side by side he had a huge strike reached for his rod to set the hook
and yeah reeled in the wallet,
The black one, pic posted by mego is the go, they also make the non jointed one in black to if the fish are a bit shy, if there is a good moon with light then they can work a treat.
Mind you at that time of night some ppl might no be capable of casting a line LOL
I have the black one, last light and after dark under the moon light.Quote:
