Opening the Ledger

After not fishing for a little while due to work and home commitments it was great to head down the bay and meet up with John for a fish. We were hoping to get a few early season Reds and conditions where looking good with a strong onshore and a warm afternoon though it did cool down for a while. Jo...

Re: How To Cast A Alvey Side Cast Reel

One thing that needs to be mentioned is that if your only using light line line the 12 pound in the video you then need a softer rod and cant really power into a cast . Alvey's can reach big distances but need to be set up just line any other distance rod.
