Hi Seb Some of the other posts have highlighted seasonal changes in lure selection. What also needs to be considered is the type of water, eg small stream, larger rivers and lakes.

I tend to give the cod a rest after early June, leave them alone to prepare for spawning. If there is some nice weather I might start scou...

Learn the FG and do it well quickly even if you forget your glasses and get your expensive lures back re-rig that lure. The FG not can be a bit tricky. I bought one of these which has helped me a lot to tie better knots: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Daiichiseiko-Knot-Assist-2-0-Joins-Braided-Line-To...

Great report RB - this is the sort of information which members look to so as to improve our sport. Not 'secret spots' but strategies techniques and tackle.
