1 boat 2 nets nice work Brian Also love the cut off glove to help your fingering technique lovely stuff Brian

[@hookin]

Got to love net flexibility 👌🏽 appreciate the feedback Gaz, always good to get some positive fingering technique reviews

[@noespam2884]

Completely agree with fish handling! Hate watching guys hanging fish off lip grips for extended periods or letting their fish thrash over sand rubbing off their protective slime. If you keep fish you know that fish need that slime to protect from parasites and environment. Rub it off and fish can suffer or die over an extended period. Thanks for taking care of your catch!

[@hookin]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. If people get any take aways from my vids. Hopefully it’s these points that stick ☺️

Great episode again Ben with the onset of cold water. If you are looking for a fishing buddy on the lake, hit us up, I usually fish Brissy Waters and also enjoy chasing the big ones at Lake Mac. Tight lines 🎣

[@hookin]

Thanks mate, my favourite time of year in the lake! No worries! Thanks for reaching out 👍🏼

[@chrisholt5001]

Miss that place 25 years ago I got my Pb flatly fishing for jew fish some big lizards back then

[@hookin]

Nice mate 👍🏼 there’s still some big ones creeping around. Just a highly pressured system now unfortunately.

[@kelhinde-be3oc]

Great video mate 👍 What’s your typical rod n reel combo for the lake? And what seats are those? Nice boat 👌

[@hookin]

Thanks mate, I usually run either a 6-12lb or 10-17lb 7ft rod and either a 2500 or 3000 size reel. 10-15lb braid and run 20lb leader when chasing big lizards 👍🏼 They are Relaxn seats mate, not too bad 👌🏽 thanks mate appreciate the feedback

[@kelhinde-be3oc]

Cheers mate 👌

[@craigglanville9946]

Great video champion, I think you have done very well considering most fish aren't bitting coming into winter

[@hookin]

Thanks for the feedback mate, I approve it! I actually really enjoy fishing this time of year 😊

[@user-og3eu7rk9n]

You must be joking mate, the lakes on fire

[@johnloudon2396]

Great content,what depth and structure are you looking for,never fished the lake. Did you down size your leader to get the bites.....??keep your videos coming.
