ULTRALIGHT PEACOCKS AND SUCH!

Here's what went down during a morning attack on the local freshwater population which started in the pre-dawn darkness. Ultralight fun fishing at its best!

Blooping a FEED Lures BULB8 popper in the darkness drew a curious strike from a hungry Mayan Cichlid...

Prelight strike on a Jackall Waver Shrimp hopped slow with the Major Craft KG Lights Aji special rod...

As usual we love the Major Craft Go-Emotion BFS rod for this type of work. This time the Jackson Dead Float twitched in skinny water worked...

Its a nice Peacock Bass to start the day...

When the sun came up more Bass came out to play...

The Jackall Tiny Fry is deadly at little baitfish imitation...

Zebra Cichlid were on the chew on this day as well. Any fish on the ultralight BFS Go-emotion rod is ultra fun...

This one liked the Jackall Mask Gene soft plastic vibe very much...

Tough long fight after an exciting strike on the BFS outfit saw this nice Peacock hit the deck...

The Jackall Mask Gene is deadly for applications like these: to fool smart vary fish which see lures thrown at them ever so often...

The aggressive Zebra Cichlids show their love for the Jackall Mask Gene by lining up for the chew...

Hopped slowly off the bottom, the Mask Gene is king...

Another nice Peacock falls for the trap...

And the Jackall Mask Gene tally grows...

Even the little Red Devils get in on the act with the Mask Gene...

Last catch of the morning is a feisty little Zebra Cichlid which also fell for the Jackall Mask Gene like all those before it...

BAY JIGGING DOWNUNDER!

The pristine sheltered waters of Hervey Bay in Australia is the site for our next light tackle adventure. The crew spent a day on the water getting into the local pelagics and demersals alike. Here was how it went...

Early dawn start a long trek out. Gear on board and ready to rock and roll...

Didn't take long to find a school of Golden Trevally but unfortunately only one was foolish enough to bite...

The FEED Lures FLIP40 jig scores this one!

We got plenty more hook-ups with the FEED FLIP40 but they turned out to be Sharks...

We encountered many surfaces bust-ups and on one such cast this Spanish Mackeral latched onto the FEED Lures SPEAR30 pencil...

Meanwhile small jigs like this FEED FLIP25 dropped below the bait schools would find predators too...

The light jig outfits had their work cut out for them on this day. Here a Major Craft Giant Killing spin rod bears the grunt...

Turns out to be another Shark on the FEED FLIP40...

The Sharks are certainly on the chew. Another FLIP jig gets nailed...

We just couldn't avoid them. They loved the FEED jigs too much...

Dropping the weight class to a tiny FEED FLIP15 jig, we find a Fusilier...

And while casting to frenzied bait schools we find the usual suspect in the form of a Mack Tuna which took a liking to the FEED FLIP jig...

With the ultralight Major Craft Go-Emotion Micro Jig Special out for some fun we hook a freight-train in the shape of a beaut Chinaman Fish. This fight was one to be savoured...

The colours on this fish were amazing. Like those before, the FEED FLIP15 did the trick...

More drops over the shallow reef revealed another prized catch, the Red Snapper...

The like FEED FLIP jigs too...



Every drift over the patch produced a hit on the FEED FLIP...

One cannot tire from catching these beautiful fish. Back home they are a rare treat...

It culminated in this nicely proportioned specimen that went hard on the Go-Emotion Micro Jig Special rod...

The FEED Lures FLIP15 is a star indeed...



This next fish is a funny one indeed. Identified as a Long Spined Snapper, this is our first encounter. The FEED FLIP scores again...



Then we get back into the Red Snappers on the FEED FLIPs...

Even smaller specimens can't resist the bigger FLIP25 model...

To cap the day off we boat a beautifully marked Bonito on the FEED FLIP. Awesome colours on this fish...

By the late afternoon we are back on dry land, wishing to do it all over again...

NIGHT CRAWLING!

There's just something alluring about working that surface lure in pitch darkness and to have the glassy silence punctuated by an explosive take. Takes a strong heart!

Species in question? The humble Walking Catfish, maligned by many but gold to those in the know. Surface fishing in the still of the night has made a new hero...

Surface crawlers don't get any better than the lithe DUO Realis Shunmushi cicada imitation...

Bigger ones can be a handful on the ultralight gear like this Major Craft Go-Emotion Bait Finesse rod outfit. Some big ones are lost to straightened hooks and the like...

The DUO Realis Flatside crank is a wakebait extraordinaire. When worked ultra slow it creates the most unsuspecting shimey that won't be resisted by even the most cautious of fish...

NOCTURNAL CATS ON LURES!

Nocturnal catfish hunting with lures, always hard work, always fun...

Big Asian Redtail Catfish are always a handful. The light Evergreen Tactics spin rod is worked hard on this one...

The DUO Tide Vib Score is a go-to lure for this type of work, hardly disappoints...

This similar one on the Jackall Tranpo spin rod was just as stubborn...

It fell for the IMA Flechette worked slow...

But the DUO Tide Vib Score scores on consistency with yet another...

And its a big one too!
