ET was on saturday at 4;30 i think.. Was skippy and black and silver bream in an eastern river system.. pretty good fish with soft plastics..

Yeh.. Must admit that the 'excitement' levels for the kalbarri tailor were a little overkill! Lol, actually, it was the first thing the boys mentioned as well..

Did like the underwater camera for the lumo squids and ryan's sambo on the relatively light penn gear was pretty exceptional..  As for the mouth, LOL LOL LOL.. yeh, there was a lot of deckspace at the back now i remember, lol!

I must agree with adam on this one, WTF WAS THAT RIG?!

As for a dhuhie on a trembler, it was the GT jig version so it weights 178g as opposed to 125g that a normal one does, so i suppose it could work up here too. Alltho from the looks of things he is probably on a "private" lump that only a few fisho's know about, you know like all the secret ones we have up here(well some of us haha not me ! )

Cant steve just keep quiet for a little while tho, it would make the show much more enjoyable if i didnt here screaming every 2 seconds :p  Heh i like how ryan pipped steve on the squid fishing tho, either ryans got a good tactic or steve doesnt have any!

Just hope the camerman stops waving the cam about ,that efort was as poor as you could get ,woeful filming .re Adam's comment Its on film ,hard to refute ,rather surprizing what a good editer can do,after all its not the first show I have seen with the same fish caught up to 3 times .

Yeh.. I didn't think photo or video editing was done for mags and shows..

Not hard to catch a fish, hook it up on another rig, send it back down and pretend its fighting for its life with light drag.. just depends how badly you want to prove your point.. put it this way, i may have seen it on tv, but you won't see me with a giant trembler trying for dhufish every week.. but, all in all, it was a great catch if it was legit..

yeh thats true, id imagine the rig would tangle on the way down something chronic.

Quite liked this months FWA mag.. plenty of good reading in it and some nice articles as well..

Bought my self a new Ian Miller T-curve 24kg Jig Stick yesterday.. the old bank account is hurting badly, but its damn sexy.. .cant wait to get out there and try it.. and ordered a new spool for the spheros 12000fa, so now will have 50 pound and 30 pound braid.. going to a big jigging season..

Only 50lb? :p

ive contempated getting a deul speedy 20 too, used it last year for jigging and loved it. But the saltist is a nice reel to use too. Decisions decisions.

Yeh, mate said should be able to bring a 25-30kg sambo up in around 8-10 mins now.. sounds good to me..

I think anything over 50 might be a bit overkill, theres bringing them in quick, and then theres skulldragging the life out of them..  But then again, if you play them right, they should be fine anyway..

Saltist is definately nice.. so many good reels out there to choose from at the moment..

Well.. after that all I can say is.. its still the best fishing show on TV.. so, obviously you guys are doing something right..

And as for the channel, saw the episode last year, or the one before, so i can understand that you may have been a little nervous, lol.. I couldn't imagine a bow wave would be too good for a camera's health..

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, which is what forums are for, all I ask is that its kept civil..

Well well well.. what a good show this morning!!!

A dumbell smashed in half, now that is something special.. really liked the underwater shots as a bit of a change up.. definately one of the best fwa shows i've seen throughout all the series.. well done to the guys, now to get myself to the mackie islands!!!

 We film on 5m and under re boats, we know the dramas we dont make excuses like you just did .Would you like a  camerpersons who can hold a shot in shitty seas .we have 5 to choose from including women  . Wanna bes lol what a Joke .We do it for Fun . Would like to make it clear the fwa show tec side has always been good over all the comment was re; the waving the camera about  seams I hit a nerve personaly o well never mind. Mr Cameraman.is there a problem with using your real name to sit and make comment about anything when you appear to lack the courage and conviction to put your balls behind the statement .

On  Postive note the Gt"s in 2-3 m of water looks like hell fun.visial action is awesome .

Hello to the cameraman ,
                                    My name is Jutta I filmed and edited the dvd ,Thanks for your opion .Can you please send me the very first vision you shot and the very first editing you did with the very first vision. So I can pass a opion on your work being that I unpacked the camera in exmouth and read a book, then Ian got me a computer and program so I had to learn to turn that on let alone edit .I"m saying this so we can be fair to each other on the matter of badly.

                                   Do you need lessons on how to stand on a boat in a bit of chop so the veiwers dont get sea sick .You are a professional .I know Ian would have tossed you off the boat with that poor efort with the camera .

                                    When you learn to stand on a boat in a sea and hold the camera still untill then you are in  no postion to past comment on my work .

 This does not happen very often Jutta challanging a person . I see  postive thing in this sort of pinging at each others work for the veiwer .It can only make us and the other crews streach to try and deliver a better product as long as we are all seen to be moving forward it has to be good overall for the veiwers.

Bit strange that they wouldn't allow footage of the release weight?   Can you shed any light on this Mark?  Or is it just Steve's preference.

As for working for Malcolm Douglas, I'm sure you would have had some amazing experiences and seen some fishing feats over the years..  Could only imagine...

As for the criticism over filming techniques, we take a little handycam out and know how hard it is to get good footage.. as you can tell from my videos ;)  I think the FWA footage is excellent, its the commentry that frustrates me.. But, you can't win them all..  Keep up the good work..

Don't worry Tommy, we have been thru this and the issue has been resolved.

We have covered this.
