He made the Australia Tuesday evening, a long journey made even longer with 2 children in tow, who think now breakfast is at 4: 00 p.m. are they kidding! Anyway, time to reflect on fishing in Noosa was a first for me as my in-laws just retire it last summer. In 2 weeks, I managed to catch alot of fish; Tailor, bream, Flathead, small GT of a Tarpon and a jewfish. The best bit for me is that I did not touch a piece of bait or lure hard all the time! All fish have been taken on light gear (6 lb braid, leader of 15 lb) and a variety of flexible plastic of the vessel and the shore.
I caught twice withAndy Phips or Phipsy as it is known locally and it was an absolute pleasure. Phipsy is so well informed when it comes to light tackle fishing with flexible plastics. After our first day out of my brain was thinking Overdrive on how I could adapt some of the techniques and plastics, we have caught the United Kingdom! A few things really sticks in my mind. Of which Keith atJersey bass Guides has been on me all winter when we were LRF'ing and it is the speed of your extract and how even the smallest of the wrist or arm movements can move a plastic distance serious and in many cases outside the strike zone. If you have the habit of minnows ripper or poppers you some time to appreciate the fineness of flexible plastic fishing light gear, but once you have it, you'll know all about it!
Another tactic, you see Phipsy in the video below is if you miss to take a drop and immediately coil, file your rear plastic (spool free if you must) to fish. This is especially true if you use plastic type, fish minnows will think that they have injured your bait and come for a bite of the second. Stay relaxed and in the area, something Tim onLow sea Safaris likes to talk about and you begin to take more fish.
Another strong point of my trip was a 55 cm Flathead (see pic form above post) the a morning under a bridge. I had abandoned a decent fish it before morning and he developed a combat large light rail, absoultly nailing a flexible plastic shrimp on a 5 g Jig head.
Australians are massively flexible plastic and it is easy to understand why the craze is sweeping the UK at the moment due and I am sure that we will see fish falling to them in the years to come. There are a few people really pushing the sport forward to the United Kingdom,Henry Gilby went fishing Wrasse with flexible plastics and the other day after the return of his trip here a few weeks. Lots of fun with this correspondent is in your address to fish, to me that it is light tackle sport fishing, be it a small Pollack or a lb 6 lower two will get your adrenaline flowing on the right gear.
In the hope to get the boat in the water this weekend - have a quick access anti fouling of work to do it is the game on!
Stay tuned.
