How To Catch Fish ALL DAY LONG ON LURES - Estuary & Canal Tactics

Estuary & Canal Tactics for Fishing Gentlemen's Hours. Lure fishing with light tackle and a slower approach can make all the difference once the sun is high in the sky. A great way to get your kids hooking into Bream, whiting, flathead and Trevally.

Nice work mate, sight casting them as they move across the sand between the pontoons can also be heaps of fun on the soft prawns.

I’ll have to give that a bit of a go Mick ;)

[@mylurebox]

Cheers Brett. It’s the 2.1 gram model. And the Fluoro has just been spooled with enough for a cast and a half. Maybe 50m just to get the lure out there. I run cheap backing to fill the spool underneath if needbe

I have lost confidence in the MMD soft prawn, perhaps its because of my choice of 6lb leader to braid. I have tried a number of brands for straight fluorocarbon and most coil up or get bad wind knots. What brand do you recommend?

[@mylurebox]

Mate what color and weight prawns were you throwing. I remember your comments from my earlier vids and found them really interesting because we’ve had such different experiences and it surprised the hell outa me, esp. as I know you watch so many of my videos to go with it. What region down south are you fishing? Are you around canals and boats with Bream?

[@mylurebox]

I use Vanish by Berkley. It can do exactly what you’ve mentioned. I tend to just replace my 4 or 20lb for Jack when it gets bad. I only spool 50m onto some backing so I’ve got a few goes at it for each spool.

[@leonardbrown1512]

@@mylurebox I am around the Shoalhaven near Nowra. Very few boats or canals. All natural structure. Rocky bars, flats and timber in creeks. I have vanish 4lb, I will try just 50 to 100 metres and see. I have the medium and heavy MMD prawns. I have the holt production prawn and again no interest in that. You would hate fishing down here its not like in canals where you have lots of small bream, most sessions for me its one or 2 fish good quality or nothing.

invest in a wet rag bud when you handle fish all day a wet rag is good for both the fish and you....also barbed hooks still catch fish.

[@saratoga1956]

Hi mate.. Thanks John.. Great vid and very helpful.. I have the 7'6 model and agree it's a great rod for the really light stuff but I can't get a really long cast with smaller lures.. Maybe putting in too much grunt and not letting the rod do the work.. Is it more the flick of the rod? Might be more practice.. I was using 4lb straight through too. Steve

[@PARATROOPER2358]

Steve yeh really need to let the rod do more work for you and sometimes can come to many factors for loosing distance finger control too early too late release you'll feel when that top section loads up and and wants to send it. It will take some practice to get it where you want but the rod will do it all.

[@PARATROOPER2358]

Smooth is the key with light plastics hardbodies not a prob should cast easy but really need to adjust cast for placcy hope that helps Steve.

[@PARATROOPER2358]

If have a look at how smooth John casts towards end of video when he casts distance towards the shadow area that's what I mean by it all smooth is key. Try adjusting length from tip to lure and timing and see how you go without trying to blast it.
