$$$ COSTLY DISASTER while Topwater Fishing for YELLOW FIN WHITING

[@Lowysfishing]

Better to try an fail mate than not try at all. Once you get the box sorted it will be awesome 🙌

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yeah, and get the mics fixed 🤦‍♂️

[@Lowysfishing]

@@MattsFishingEscapes that part sucks. I dont even have mics.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Mainly got them for wind. I'll need to be more careful in future for sure!

Gday Matt l,the everyman,l like your show,Merry Christmas to you and your family. 10/10 for having a go ,very entertaining.Gaz

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks Gary... that's great to read. Messages like these inspire me to keep going! Trying new things... learning and looking for new ways to fish landbased. Merry Xmas to you and your family.

A good learning experience Matt. I don't know if it would work but the tub I use for crabbing I put 2 pvc axles underneath with the large white net floats which keep it afloat and work as wheels too. I also use the tub to hold a battery when floundering with a light down the Coorong

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks Kevin! Certainly a costly experience. Yes, I am looking at that sort of setup for sure! I think that will work.

[@ThoughtConnectedcom]

Thanks mate. This is a great channel. I love how you are prepared to have a go!

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yep, I am always looking for an edge... not always successful. But that's all part of fishing!

[@ThoughtConnectedcom]

@@MattsFishingEscapes Can i ask where you go to get the Starlo bait extensions you use on top of the grub? They look like a good invention. The vxed ones I use are pretty flimsy.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

@@ThoughtConnectedcom ususally they are available here: starlotackle.com/shop/ols/categories/worm-burners Looks like they are updating the website. Maybe just message StarloTackle on Instagram as I have always found them really responsive.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks John... hoping to do a bit of fishing in western vic over xmas

[@johnkeynes8873]

Keep going Matt to get a little advice give the chanel Yellowfin whiting on surface lures a call they will give you all the info you need and your right it's not easy 😊

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Yep been all over that group like a kid in a candy store. Super helpful guys! 👌

[@lockpickingengineer7458]

I don't have Facebook but you should try using 150 or 200mm PVC pipe around your box. if you use 90 elbows it would be waterproof and float better

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

That sounds like a great idea too! What an amazing brains trust we have here!

[@DamoLawrie]

90mm stormwater pvc would probably be big enough, cheaper too. Use 4 x 90° elbows to make a rectangle so your tub sits in it without being able to fall through. Cable tie it on without putting any holes in the pvc. Wouldn't have to modify the tackle tray either as it would stay above the water line. Stability might be an issue if the current model tipped but bit of weight in the bottom or a clip on outrigger on the side the go pro mounts to stop it being side heavy

Fish Parham on an incoming tide or dodge. Fish Thompson's channels on an outgoing tide and incoming.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Thanks Danny, appreciate the tips... I hope I can get some better success by the end of summer!
