Evolution of fishing equipment | Fishing | Border mail

sport, local-sport,

G’day fishos. I received some very old sturdy fiberglass rods for repair this week and it made me think of how lucky we all have to see the evolution of fishing gear in recent history. Heavy and solid glass rods have given way to hollow glass and ultralight graphite materials turning our rods into very powerful and sensitive fishing tools, albeit a bit fragile in the wrong hands. Some reels these days contain as much engineering and technology as Armstrong had on him when he jumped from that little landing craft to the moon. . The cold forged gears with finer teeth have been designed in conjunction with better quality sealed bearings and superior oscillation systems to give anglers incredible starting power for larger saltwater fish so that you can now use reels that are much smaller than ever before. Some of the newer bait casters have their own small generators and apply 1000 pulses per second to the spool as you cast so the reel cannot get tangled. The line has come a long way as well, with super fine braided lines made from materials designed for use in bulletproof vests, giving fishos the freedom and the ability to use much heavier breaking stresses on equipment. much smaller and lighter than ever. How lucky are we to have been born at this time. Crazy season! Yes, the pencil season starts on Saturday June 1st, that is to say next Saturday. The rivers are very low but this is normal at crays time and if the amount of crays that are caught on the rod and reel while angling is any indication we should be off to a good start to the season. Dartmouth (64.1%): Increased slightly over the past week and also rose 0.2% over this period. We have had quite a few reports this way, most of which have had varying degrees of success. While we haven’t heard of huge bags of fish, most fishos put in a couple of them, the good news being that most were flat liners. Lyn and Burnie Muir picked up two pretty rainbows Thursday during a four-hour session, one on a “Sting” cobra and the other on an “AC Invader”. Cobras, Tassies, and minnow-style lures all catch fish with the wall area around eight miles and the main pool being as good as anywhere. Wings or cowbells with worms also worked well. I don’t know what was going on there last weekend but there were about 40 cars and trailers on the ramp which is usually a good sign. It’s also a good sign for the Dart Cup which is only a few weeks away. The streams: still looked great but could color a bit if we get a decent drop in the rain forecast. The predictions weren’t for bucket loads, so they shouldn’t be affected too much and will likely do more good than harm. Keep in mind that there are only a few weeks left in trout season in both states as well. Eildon (35.78%): Has also been pretty good at codfish lately, with tactics similar to those used at Mulwala working well. Send your fishing photos and the details of your catches to 0475 953 605 or 0475 947 279. Lac de Hume (15%): has started to rise a little and still produces good calls around the wood. Despite the cool weather, they are still preying on those slow rolled larvae with a few rippers picked up last week. Jake Hill has pulled off a few, the best being 64cm. The reds haven’t been brilliant, but there are still a few that are baited. Under the wall: is very low but there have been a few trout so worth a visit. Mulwala: Has been uneven, with good cod caught, but a lot of fishos also catch bugger. There are a lot of swimbaits thrown in during low light hours to catch these big ones. Trolling with a spinnerbait or a smaller hard body seemed to produce a few fish as did the baits, but they were a bit tricky for the most part. The river downstream from Mulwala picked up a bit with decent reports from many towns very far downstream as well. Blowering (29.7%): is similar, a lot of avid anglers at night pick up big fish, but bait and trolling during the day was also productive with very nice cod. Josh Read picked up three solid fish in a few sessions, with the biggest hitting around the 1,100 mark. These were all caught throwing big decoys during the day, despite setting up hard yards at night as well. Cod certainly improved over the past week in lakes pretty much everywhere and it may not be a coincidence that most of those lakes also started to rise at the same time. The improved catches also coincided with the full moon last weekend, so it will be interesting to see if the improved bite continues this week.

CAPTURE: Josh Read with a 110cm cod, which was one of three he spun from the Blowering Dam last weekend.

NICE ONE: Jake Hill showing off a 64cm cry he caught slow rolling larvae last Sunday.

Trolling with a spinnerbait or a smaller hard body seemed to produce a few fish as did the baits, but they were a bit tricky for the most part.

The river below Mulwala picked up a bit with decent connections from many towns very far downstream as well.

Blowing (29.7%): is similar, a lot of night angling enthusiasts pick up great fish but daytime bait and cast / troll were also productive with some really nice cod.

Josh Read picked up three solid fish in a few sessions, with the biggest hitting around the 1,100 mark.

These were all caught throwing big decoys during the day despite setting up hard yards at night as well.
