Aye well done to Barry..He was on nxt peg to me with frozen crab,he got 13 fish, I had a bucket of live crab,I got 1 fish..someone put me out ov my misery....!!!
Hi hes my fishing mate. Did you check his rigs though!
Hes told me every one had clipped down rigs , Why ?? Its not as if you need to cast mega distances in the river.
We have fished the river for the best part of 20 years and have learnt a few little secrets. One of the keys is long traces, the longer the better ie 4-5ft hooklengths and unless distance is critical leave them flapping.
I remember the two of us fishing cambois beach a few years ago and getting a good hiding off super twed when the codlings were quite finicky. He was using his usual 2 hooks flapping with 5 ft hooklengths he was getting double shots each chuck whilst i was getting bites but no fish.
I think sometimes with the longer hooklengths the fish can mouth the bait (and swallow it) without any resistance and the longer hooklengths give more movement to the bait.
Better luck next time!!

Alreet chukka, i fished a few pegs down from barry and i copped a look at his rigs and ive learnt a lesson! The only reason i had clipped down was to try and protect the whites i was using to tip off but i wont be making the mistake again!
