Sounds like a Ricky Ponting run-out? Well it probably does go something like that but in this instance it’s about a return to an old favourite and for me a bit of a guilty pleasure. The last few months have seen me (yet again!) try to improve my hardbody techniques. I’ve even gone …
New 3B’s add to the surface addiction
Well, being a serious surface junky I was like a kid waiting for xmas time to roll around when I knew that the 3B Prawn Dogs and larger 68mm Scum dogs were about to be released. On first glance these lures look seriously awesome. In particular the prawn dogs are incredibly life-like and some of …
Crazy Action on Shallow Snapper – By Brent Hodges
For more than six year years I’ve been an advocate of the Berkley Gulp range of soft plastics, especially when chasing snapper. In particular, the ever reliable Turtle Back Worm has been a standout performer down south. More recently, however, I’ve also developed an appreciation for Gulp Alive Crazy Legs Jerk Shads, which have accounted …

Shrimps in Trays – How Good are They!
Just a quick note on the new packs of Gulp shrimps now packaged in trays, to keep them straight. I’ve been a massive fan on the humble Gulp 2” shrimp since they first arrived on the scene around five years ago and started dominating bream tournament results. If someone were to take the time …
Scum Dogs + Zip N Ziggy’s = TOGA!
Saratoga are a species that have always fascinated me and I have always admired their rather prehistoric look and vivid colouration. Saratoga in profile are a relative flat fish with eyes that sit on the top of the head indicating strongly they are primarily a surface feeding fish. Combined with an aggressive looking upward facing …
St Claire Bass – Luke Draper, Berkley Junior Pro
Leading up to the tournament, we had been fishing at Lake St Clair. We found some good spots to fish. When it came to pre-fish day, all our plans went out the window as it had been raining for about 2 weeks. Dad went out and found a pattern. And that gave us something to …
Wish and Britto’s 2012 Forster Megabream reunion tour
We first visited Forster in 2004 when we basically knew jack about bream luring, and fished megabream, which is an annual 2 day “skins” type format with high entry fee and high payouts. We finished with 3 legals each day, but that was back when the limits were 10 per boat. We were soundly beaten …
Vic Bream Classic – Yarra
Weather conditions always seem to have a huge effect at this venue and influence the tournament greatly. Over the past four years we have had scorching 40 degrees temperatures, torrential rain, major floods and gale force winds. This weekend was no different with a picture perfect Saturday followed by gale force northerly winds on Sunday. …
3B Crank Walking stick and big brother scumdog – Tassie Style!
A couple of weeks back I managed to get my hands on the newly released 68mm scumdog and the 70mm walking stick designed by Adam “mad dog” Royter . For anyone that likes larger profile top waters the Berkley 3b Scumdog really is worth checking out! It casts well, swims well and catches fish! …
