Sydney Report 26/12/09

This report and the next couple of reports I will be giving you a bit of an insight as to what DVD’s are out there for you to gain some great knowledge and techniques from.

The Fishing DVDNumber 10

Shane Mensorth takes you through a number of different techniques on how to chase Australian salmon on the beautiful beaches of the western Eyre Peninsula in South Australia while using baits and lures. Some of the salmon they catch are huge.

If you are into doing a bit of travelling overseas the segment of chasing bone fish on Christmas Island is great, especially the sight fishing parts.

One of the things I haven’t done for a while is chase wild river Australian Bass. The segmnt is filmed on the Manning River and there are some great bass caught by Steve Starling and David Seaman while fishing out of their canoes.

I have never gone fishing for Barramundia (it will happen one day), but the next time I go to Darwin I am going to try and book up guide Justin Jones for a day out chasing Barra. Both Jason and Nigel Webster diffently know their stuff when it comes to barramundia.

You can also learn heaps from watching Steve Starling and Mark Bargenquast chase flathead with those new Pro Series Sqyuidgies that have been spced up with S-Factor.

Pound for pound drummer would have to be the hardest and toughest fish that I have fished for off the rocks Steve Starling and Andrew Badullovich fish for these rod bending fish at a place that I have fished many times before on the far south coast. While berleying for the drummer they also catch big bream and groper. Watch and learn the techniques on how to fish off the rocks for bread and butter fish species.

This dvd also has segments on how to fish fish target fingermark or golden snapper, go fishing for cod with top water lures in the rugged gorges of NSW’s New England Plateau. Plus you can also take a trip to the Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat near Broome in WA and see how effective lures and soft plastics are so effective in the creeks up that way.
