      @Mizmazzle yeah all in all not a bad season. I didn’t get to fish much after mid June due to house renovations though. Our first born is due next March so I’ll probably fish even less next season.

      Despite that I messaged Chris Barclay for one of his small stream specials.. 6’4” 3/4 blank rolled in Japan, Kineya hardware and a curly birch reel seat from Finland, guides etc from the states and built in NC by Chris. I might get to fish it in a couple years! 😂

                  Hi I treated myself to a new light/ultralight 2-10 gram spinning rod for Christmas and caught my first January bass in the harbour. Caught on 3 gram jig head with a Berkley gulp worm 6lb braid 5lb flouro leader and a slow retrieved. This year I’m going going smaller and lighter in a hope to catch more fish.

                      Is that shimano soare rod perhaps? I think I have the same reel. Bought myself a christmas present aswell. Super shallow spare spool and a heftier knob. Not a huge fan of ultra thin knob of 2000 vanquish. Going to be a long long winter before I get to use these 😞

                        Oh, we're talking new tackle are we. Just bought one of these (in Japan for about 1/2 western price), the S86XX Longcast.

                        I am absolutely fascinated with the RG Guide System, and can't wait to give it a go...

                          Bonito - Are usually a bycatch when I am fishing for bigger stuff. But on the right tackle, they are a lot of fun, and they are as powerful as hell…..

                              @Giles sent me this picture the other day of an FG fishing knot. In my eyes it looks damn good and something that I will start practicing for joining leaders to braid.

                                Thank you. Could be better. A few too many wraps, the braid is better when it has "melted" into the fluoro for the whole length of the knot....

                                  BUT, we did see 2 groups of Humpback Whales between dives. Mum and calf, then later mum, pop and calf....

                                    @Giles What caused that type of carnage? Barracuda?

                                      Not sure, I don't think Barracuda. Both were hit on the drop, which to me does not smack of Cuda......
