Adventure Bound Options

[Jumpus GooDarus]

The lift should be smooth poly

Sort of covered it when I said there's no need to jerk

Your lift is governed by the fushy, if it's running then just hold the rod till the run stops

As a general rule drag should be set @ a 1/3 of the lines breaking strain [ not wot those clowns on Adventure Bound tell ewe]

A wittle trick that I use when lifting & want more muscle out of my line is to thumb the line up against the rods 4grip basically locking the reel BUT the moment I feel the fush wanting to go again I release the line & let the drag settings do their job.

It's a very handy method esp when it's a swelly day & the boat is up & down like a yoyo, days like that the swell will peel line off the spool

Shitty weather saw me indoors yesterday & not much on the Idiot Box so I watched Adventure Bound just B4 the F1 qualifying

& It's about Bloody Time

They've finally got sum wun on the show who has an idea on how to fush & set up tacle

GooDarus solo effort chasing stickheads up @ Pt Stephens did anybloody else watch it ??

[kkw]

yes

[Fed]

I saw it too Jumpy, BTW TVS is now broadcasting in digital on Ch 44.

Did you think those Marlin were a bit sleepy?

Did you think those Marlin were a bit sleepy?

Hard to say cause it would've been too boring filming the whole fight + alot would've been edited

Wun thing I did like was that there was no Cowboy stunts all the other gooses would put on by trying to pull off the fishy's heads wun of the gooses was nortorious for that he was a wanker in my books.

I've been saying it for yonks there's no need to strike @ fish they'll set the hooks themselves when they swim off & that goes for any fish big or wittle

Missed many a hookups back in my early days trolling live stripeys around for stickheads cause the norm was to gun the boat to set the hook
Wot a load of Bullshit that is
All you're doing is ripping the bait out of the fishys mouth @ a great rate of speed

Even with lures I wont gun the boat just leave motors @ troll speedtill Wit Dick is cleared 2 reasons for that
Get the fush out past other lures to avoid tangles
Keep pressure on the line so fishy dosen't spit the hooks

[Fed]

I saw the shorts for a new fishing show coming on to TVS on the 6th of May, it's called Strike Zone and it looked as if it will have a lot of underwater footage in it.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Actually watched Ad Bound last night & pissed myself

The new dude on the show was paying out on that Andrew Clarke guy calling him a wally & that he had no style about him as a fisherman

That was the best part of the show

[catchnrelease]

Are you talking about Lee Rayner?

I rekon he's a good fisho.

This the marlin?

I rekon he's a good fisho.

Yes I am & think he's a very talented fisho & I dont complement people very often
Guy knows his stuff from what I've seen of him so far & is veryco-ordinated on a rod

A far cry from everywun else I've seen on that show included the dude that passed away.

Even that other dude who'd been on the show B4 quite a few times think his name is Shane ???????????

He is a real Cowboy on a rod but not on last night's show pretty sure that Lee guy pissed in his ear & settled him down

[Fed]

Shane is the cook, I think they only take him out fishing to have a laugh.

I disagree with you Jumpy about the guy who died (Neil Tedesco?), he had a class act, I guess anyone can look a bit unco sometimes.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I disagree with you Jumpy about the guy who died (Neil Tedesco?), he had a class act,

Seems 2B your life long ambition Fed
Disagreeing with the great Jumpus GooDarus

You've nener ever wun an arguement with me nor will ewe ever do so

As far as the 2 anglers in Q goes ???

There's no comparisment betwen that Neil guy may have caught some good fish but he was a cowboy using rope to haul them in add to that all the good fish were taken in exotic locations & who knows how much footage was zot to get the little they screened.

If ewe did have the expirience behind ewe & had put the hrs in over the years ewe'd straight away pick up on the difference between the 2 & that's why I complemented that Lee Chappy

[Spudly]

Lee Rayner has a big support group down in melb.. When he worked for Paul Worsteling many always said he was the better fisherman and now he started his own shop and hosting his own show... Good on him. Apparently he is very good with his customers and helping out people!

Mind you, I met Worsteling and he had the time to stop and have a good chat to me.. He does carry on a bit much on TV though..

[Fed]

Jumpy, I thought we were talking about they way they handle their rods not the size line they fish with, if you're talking about line size then there are only 2 real fishermen.... you & me.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

In that Kungy Jig thingy they were both using the same outfits & line or should I say rope

After all those years ewe tortured me making me jig for those wretched kungs think ewe would've learnt a thing or 2


1st thing that caught my eye was their rods
I wouldn't give them to a Jap on ANZAC Day to jig with
Very slow taper & action & in my view not the the rod to attempt lifting heavy fish directly up they lack the leverage power
If ewe watched every lift only resulted in wun or 2 turns of the reel that's alot of effort & energy wasted to gain a foot or so of line

A fast tapered rod would've given them a hell of a bigger advantage & more line retrieved with every lift

Spud

Paul Worsteling is just an OK fisho, the likes of him & others like Rex Runt, ET etc have the need to rely on others to get fish for their shows they are only the shows hosts.

No different to say if I or ewe were to go fishing an new area or species session would i general be alot more productice if a local were there to show not tell us how it is done

eg] If Potato Cod were the the target species who better than ewe to help fill up the potato sack

[Spudly]

Might have worded that wrong... Its meant to be saying that Lee Rayner is the better fisherman, not paul...

[kkw]

Potato cod, potato sacks, Spud. All good things I often use a spud and grate it into the water as burley for yakkas. They love it - go nuts over it.
Was down at Nelligin today, but didn't find any spud farmers hangin around the riverfront. Lots of fish activity in the water though.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Might have worded that wrong... Its meant to be saying that Lee Rayner is the better fisherman, not paul...

Knew wot ewe meant Spud
I can speak Potatonese

Recall seeing the 2 of them in the early shows & thought Worsteling was a bit of a GOOSE
Allways Rod Grabbing trying to get the lime light on the show but it was that Lee chappy with all the insight

[catchnrelease]

I would much rather jig with a slower more parabolic rod than a faster rod when it comes to kings and other fish which don't have a terrible amount of stamina. When it comes to fish that can slug it out, well then that's different. Oh, and yes JG I have jigged with both slow and fast tapered rods.

[Fed]

I think you need to Google fast tapered rods, slow tapered rods & parabolic curves C&R then you will understand your last post is a complete contradiction of terms.

I'm not a fan of slow tapered rods for anything, I know they have their uses but not for me.

You rate Kingfish as low in stamina that surprises me, I'd put them in the top 20% easily.
I'd like to see the big list of fish you think out perform them in the stamina stakes.

[Fed]

Don't forget Strikezone tonight on TVS at 8.30PM, I'm hoping for a lot of underwater footage, that's what was shown on the promo I saw.
