You are too kind mate. I am so glad you enjoy them though mate. Thanks heaps for the kind words. Wardy.

Hey Boston. Hope you got something out of the video mate. Make sure you sing out next time you are up this way. Wardy.

Cheers Wandy, glad you liked it.

That’s a hard one. The best time for no wind is the wet season just after the rain in the afternoon. It usually glasses out. But in the dry season when everyone visits, it’s just the luck of the draw unfortunately. If you’re here for a few weeks you’ll get your good days for sure.

Thanks mate. Tricky place to fish if you don’t know it. Make sure you do catch up if you’re back again.

I use it on aggressive fish but when they are shut down or slow to bite.

Thanks mate.

Isn't that interesting. Might be something in that.

My pleasure mate. Hope you make the float.

G'day Potatoes. We didn't upgrade the trebles but if I was in a dam full of metre long fish, I would. We needed that sinker on the nose but that was about all. Hook up rate is average. It is good on barra because they suck them down but no so good on fish like mangrove jack that like to crunch down.

@@wardysfishing9403 good stuff. I literally just bought the 7 inch version today to test up in the brissy river under the city lights for jew and threadys. Barra aren’t unheard of either (may have better luck targeting unicorns though). I like the videos, keep up the good work!

G'day mate. Late reply so sorry about that but it is just a tiny bit over two metres. Perfect for rolling out a swag.

I just checked them out online. Haven't seen or heard of them here in Australia but they look amazing.

Thanks mate. Heaps of fun filming this one with Sam. Glad you enjoyed it mate.

And what’s the river height that is optimal mate?

Gday mate. We did 6 days this year but 5 is very slow as well. But I enjoyed 6 days more. Optimal height at Moreton is 2.8m on the BOM river height reading. We didn’t once as low as 2.1 and that was ok but lots of walking. We also did it at 3.6 and river was too fast. I’d prefer too slow than too fast.

All part of the adventure Neil. You seem like the adventurous type. You'd be keen I'm sure.

Thanks mate

Lovely to hear mate. Thanks so much.

She's a laugh mate. We scripted some of that but the funniest parts were the unscripted bits. But I am sure that every bloke that goes fishing with his misses can relate.

G'day mate. I just have the one fly rod so it is an all rounder. It is an 8 weight with 8 weight intermediate fly line so slow sinking. I use a tapered leader that I buy instead of make that is 15lb. I use a simple nail knot to attach it to the fly line. My preferred flys for up this way are the clousers. They have light lead balls for eyes and this makes them sit in the water nicely. I often just allow the fly to slowly sink and it gets hit on the drop so a clouser is perfect. When it comes to fly fishing I only know that basics but how much fun is it when a good fish on that long, soft rod? I love it. Wardy

Gday Caleb. It draws bugger. I can power through 60cms of water no problem and fish in half a metre. The bigger sizes would be similar but not 100% sure.

Thanks mate.

Glad you liked it mate. Wardy

Thanks mate. Great little sports fish.

Thanks mate. Glad you got something out of it.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. Awesome trip and worth all the effort.

@@80ZX how big is the boat and will in be ok stored in yard? I have a locked yard you can use if it isn’t too big.

@wardysfishing9403 it is a Quintrex 480 coast runner on single axle trailer. That would be amazing Mate. We would certainly be interested in chatting further and most certainly happy to pay storage. What is the best way to make contact?

No problem. Email me at wardysfishing@gmail.com

@@wardysfishing9403 cheers Mate.

I'd love to claim it as good angling skills mate but I got very very lucky. Thanks for the kind word mate. Wardy

G'day mate. I use a rod in the 12-20lb weight or line class range. In the video I use a Daiwa rod. The reel is a Daiwa Certate but Penn, or Shimano or just a decent reel in the 4000 size is ideal. I use 20lb line and a 40lb leader. That is light for Tusk FIsh but easy to use and I prefer the light stuff. I just seem to catch more fish even though I loss the odd one. Hope that helps mate. Wardy

@@wardysfishing9403 thank you for the prompt reply and that helps heaps as I am looking at a Diawa Td Black Supacaster 5/10 kg and either a TD Black 3000 or 4000 leaning towards the 4000 but will see how the balance is , loving your videos - Cheers

@@warrensimpson9541 Perfect mate. You will pull them out with that gear for sure. Great combo. Wardy

If you are confident with soft plastics, just some small 4" grubs of prawns such as Gulp work well on the small but numerous drain barra. For the better fish in the snags, a barra lure such as the RMG Scorpion or Reidy's B52 are great. Just shallow diving lures in that style. Having a barra lure and a soft plastic will cover all bases. Good luck mate. Wardy

@wardysfishing9403 thanks Mate, appreciate the response. Looking forward to heading up there and exploring some new country. Very informative and entertaining videos Mate.

@@80ZX Thanks mate. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Happy to help.

@wardysfishing9403 might touch base mid August and get a road update if that's OK Mate.

@@80ZX With the road up here, the graders and road crews are constantly working on it. There is only 200klms of dirt left and it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. The sections that are about to be redone will be bad and the sections just done will be great but overall, it is never too bad anymore. Wardy

I agree. We were also very exposed to the weather however, we had to get TO permission and we did, but that was where we were told we could camp.

They work very well. Jackel make suspending lures and real good ones but they dive too deep for the shallow water up here on the edges.

Not a prototype. These are available but I know they can be hard to find as most anglers like a floating lure.

Why thank you so much sir. Wardy

Glad you got something out of it mate.

Thanks heaps mate.

So glad you got something out of it mate. Cheers

The term Saltwater Croc is a little misleading. To say the least. They are everywhere mate and these billabongs are a favourite little hangout.

That’s what I thought. You appear very relaxed at the water’s edge, I guess living up there you get to know the signs, subtle and obvious, that would put you on more alert?!

@@martyataube Plus a little complacency.

G'day mate. You won't catch beachworms there. The mangroves are all long gone so no blood worms so I guess the only worms in the area may be pink wrigglers. Being a Qlder, not my area of expertise but I do know the area you are talking about.

Thanks

We just added a 00 sized sinker. Tiny but it was enough to pull the nose down. We are going to test the big 9" and see if that is better. Or worse. But needed the small sinker on the small Nessie.

@@wardysfishing9403 Thanks have these in order and came across your video last night so was curious have 5,7,9, ordered

Also seen people adding nail weights to them

@@Backwoods.country I have 7 and 9 on order as well. I will do a video and let you know how I find them up here.

@@Backwoods.country How is that done? pushing a nail through the plastic?

Best of luck mate. Let me know if you have any questions. I;m sure you;ll get your first of each.

So glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to Wardys (and Sams) Fishing.
