Guiding And Tackle Sales

You will find attached to the blog contact deatil for my new guiding and tackle business. The tackle will be supplied by the biggest names in lure fishing including, ultimate fishing, sakura, lucky craft, IMA and Slug Go.

The guiding service is based on twenty years experience fishing this coast line and I think that the pictures speak for themselves. This service is suited to both the very experienced and the novice. For those just starting out there will lots of tips on lures etc and water craft info and always the chance of a clonker!!! That's why they call it fishing.

My aim is for you to have a really memorable days fishing, on what I consider to be some of the most beautiful and productive grounds our little country has to offer..

Summer Plastic fishing







Pictured are the megabass hazeldong and xlayer on a decoy nail bomb head! To rig them turn the plastic upside down and pierce the hook through the back of the head then run the plastic down to the tip. Then measure the plastic against the hook keeping your thumb where the hook needs to go through. Then simply push the hook all the way through the plastic and it should be straight! What you end up with is a plastic bait mounted on a texposer head with the shank of the hook running along the edge of the plastic as picture. This can be rigged weedless by piercing the tip of the hook inside the plastic bait! These are incredibly effective on a really light rod, it is summer finesse fishing at its best. you then twitch these through the current and will be amazed at how life like they look! I have yet to try these for sea trout but I am sure they will work, they are a killer for bass! The exact same procedure can be used to rig x-layers.. The texposer hook just offers you another way to present your plastic bait..

Patrick, Can I ask where you sourced the jig heads with texposer hooks? I have the plain texposer hooks for slug-go's etc, and jig heads with ordinary J-hooks.
Loving the blog by the way, so please keep the articles coming.
