I used to fish Christmas Day every year until I had kids. Another few years and I’ll be able to again

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@No_mans_flies yep. I’ve progressed through that stage as well. 👍

Steve, As a young teen I remember watching you going to Brogo Dam using the Rossco bass catcher Canoe with a Yamaha 2.5hp 4stroke outboard while catching some nice bass too .. the good ole days 🎣🎣😎

[@StarloGetsReel]

Yes indeed! Brogo Dam is still a great spot, too. 👍

Love the sound of nature makes for a great day on the water Cicadas are gold for Cod But too many boats and skiers here

[@StarloGetsReel]

Bit the same here, but it WILL get better. 😉

[@WildChuco]

2:00 My partner said: “oh my god that middle lure looks exactly like a cicada” then to her shock saw it walking away 😂

[@StarloGetsReel]

🤣 Love it! 👍

[@Spectrecontrol]

That's not the 1m lizard you were hoping for! 😄

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@Spectrecontrol true! 🤣

[@rockfly8384]

Great video mate. I too love chasing bass on fly. Have you tried wiggle minnows, I find them to be dynamite once the surface bite has stopped?

[@StarloGetsReel]

Thanks for that! I've used Wiggle Minnows on barra and they're deadly! I'm looking forward to giving them a run on the bass.

[@JustinSherritt]

Hi Steve, looks fun, what lb leader are you using and is it mono or Fluro ? Thanks Justin

[@StarloGetsReel]

Hi Justin. I was running about an 8 or 9 foot leader. Butt end of an old tapered trout leader with about a metre of 12 or 16 pound Ocea FC as my “tippet”. No need to to go too light on the surface and if a big bruiser comes along you need some stopping power. 👍

[@JustinSherritt]

@ , yeah no worries mate, I’m in Bairnsdale (east Gippsland) and the cicadas are just starting to fire. Been some big Bass caught lately . I’d love to get one on the fly rod. Thanks for your info mate!!👍😁

[@robhunter7236]

How many birds? I say at least 7 with fathers and one without for lunch 😁I'm so jealous of you right now. My local spot is full of Ski Boats and Campers so its a bit noisy.

[@StarloGetsReel]

I hear you! Crazy time of year...

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Lovely session mate! I'll have to send you down a few of my latest cicada patterns, this year yellow with an olive/brown mottled belly has been absolutely killing it up here... ;)

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@PeachyFlyFishing thanks! Yes, keen to try those. 👍

[@yiflc]

Hey, sorry, but i need to ask if my 6000 reel will be okay with a 6-10kg 7ft rod ?

[@yiflc]

Medium action

[@StarloGetsReel]

Should be fine.

[@Mprer]

3 birds and a dog. Looked like you were fishing heavy. 6/7 ? Best wishes for 25.

[@StarloGetsReel]

@@Mprer 7-weight and 12 or 15 pound tippet. There are some big bass in that stretch. Happy New Year. 👍

[@realfamilyman]

"How many birds can you identify?" 1. Cicadas. 2. ............... Nope, that's it.
