G'day fishos, im trying to do a few more videos and give some useful advice as much of what i've learnt has come from this site and it's members, so over the next while i'll be doing some tutorials on some basic fishing techniques.

I've recently changed my landbased setup for a bit of a different approch (not a new style by any means) and that is a lighter combo with 20lb line and an 11" rod.

I chose my new rod specifically for Tailor and casting unweighted mulies (pilchards) and lures. Tailor are a great fish to target here in W.A. with fish on this type of equiptment giving a good fight. IMO fish from 30-40cm are the best eating size. some days i'll keep one others I release. I'm just chasing a new pb currently @65cm on bait but hoping for a 70 sometime soon.

So here's a short video of some recent action and if anyone has any advice for targetting bigger models in the metro area feel free to flick me a message.

And before anyone rips into me I know I need to work on my handling of the fish, don't wipe them, support the body at all times, wet the brag mat etc, just starting out on the catch and release thing and hey atleast these ones got a second chance I guess.

Tight lines!

Sub for more vids soon!

Rod-Assasin rapid spin 11" PE1.5-2

Reel-Diawa Saltist MQ 5000D-H

Line-20lb Tasline

Leader-60lb Sunline FC (just incase something large is hungry)

Hook-Single 7/0 J (I found this spot a bit too snaggy for gangs)

Tips for newbys

-Fish the bite times, high or low tide, sunrise, sunset etc. 

-Use google maps to scope new spots 

-less people=more fish (Do the miles get the smiles)

-hook exposure/bait presentation is a key

-Bait, fresh herring, and pilchards

-expereriment with different hooks sometimes I find the fish won't take a gang but will hit a single, more chance of snipoffs but no hookups=no fish. But I do always start with gangs.

-Bait Cotton 

PS:If you know the spot keep it hush hush!
