Surfcasting tips.

http://www.kiwi36.com/ On the beach wear warm body waders and wade out further distance.  Fish the incoming tides. Be prepared to fish into the night. Have pre-baited traces ready to clip on to replace empty hooks. If plagued by paddle crabs stick it out as this means the snapper have arrived Try tough baits like salted mullet when crabs are a problem. Always secure baits with bait elastic.

Not fishing in the dark, cold nights along the edge of the lakes or wading in icy waters -but working a dry fly down a riffle on a river. After one of the worst winters in memory a period of settle weather will be needed before backcountry streams and rivers start to fish well.

After we had stopped shooting we went Dick’s pond and found it had about 3 to 4 inches of water on about half of it. That's enough Dick said. She'll shoot alright tomorrow. We set the decoys up ready for the next morning six on a bungee cord that goes to the mia mai with another 8 decoys around them. The mia mia had been camouflaged in tea tree already even though we hadn't yet shot in it. We arrived at the pond around 6.30 the next morning. Dick was putting a pipe in the swamp all while I was putting the wings on a Robo duck which was to be mounted on to the pipe about a metre above the water. The Robo duck is a battery o
