Well I went to Nelson, Glenelg River with Pearcy and Munroe on the weekend.
Awesome location, had a blast.
Anyways on the Sunday night we went down to one of the landings and were catching small EP's on Surface lures. As i had no idea how to use the lure properly Munroe was good enough to give me and Pearcy some pointers.
We went for a quick fish Monday morning before we came home... I had just caught a bream and wasnt getting any more touches on the soft plastic. So I thought to myself why not put some of what Munroe showed you the night before with the lure into action in the shallows in hope of an EP.
As this video shows i cast and get some luck. Everytime I watch this video I laugh at my Facial reaction when I get a bite. This is why I love fishing, Put together a plan of attack and watch it unfold in front of you. Love it.
Thanks for the tips Munroe.

Re: Glenelg River Nelson
Nice work Shayne.
Give you another tip when using lures, put your handle on the other side of the reel so you don't have to change hands. Feels funny for a while but you will never go back to the other way.

Re: Glenelg River Nelson
Yep, the dominate hand should cast and hold the rod to fight the fish and the other hand to wind the reel.....naturally opposite for lefties. Took me a few trips to get used to it and even converted the missus reel to LH wind (she whinged for a couple of trips but is used to it now)

Ok that makes sense. Being a lefty means I have it the right way.... Or the left way...

Re: Glenelg River Nelson
Yeah i tried that Jenko a while back.. Felt ok and I can see how it will work for the better...
I'll give it a crack again, cause I do hate switching over the rod from hand to hand..
Thanks again.!
