Adrian and Matt chase big giant trevally on the reef with Sticks and Wood Lures

Adrian and Matt were excited as they launched their boat into the crystal-clear waters of the reef. The sun glinted off the waves, and the scent of salt lingered in the air. They had spent weeks crafting their homemade lures, carefully selecting colors and shapes designed to attract the elusive big giant trevally. As they made their way to their favorite spot, Adrian double-checked their gear, making sure everything was in order. “You ready for this?” he called out, a grin spreading across his face. “Absolutely! These trevally won’t know what hit them!” Matt replied, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. Once they arrived, they dropped anchor and began casting their lines. The water was teeming with life, and they could see the shadows of fish darting below. Adrian flicked his wrist, sending his lure flying into the depths. Matt followed suit, each of them watching intently as the lures splashed down. Minutes passed, the only sounds being the gentle lapping of waves and the occasional call of seabirds overhead. Then, with a sudden tug, Adrian felt a powerful pull on his line. “Got one!” he shouted, adrenaline surging through him as he began to reel it in. Matt quickly adjusted his position, ready to assist. The fight was on; the fish surged and darted, testing Adrian's skill and patience. After an intense struggle, he finally brought the shimmering giant trevally to the surface, its iridescent scales flashing in the sunlight. “Look at that beauty!” Matt exclaimed, snapping photos as Adrian carefully unhooked the fish. They both marveled at its size and strength, knowing they had accomplished their goal. After a quick release back into the water, they high-fived, the thrill of the chase still buzzing in the air. They continued to cast their homemade lures, each moment filled with laughter and camaraderie, the reef alive with possibilities. It was more than just fishing; it was an adventure they would always cherish.

One of the best parts about doing the show was chatting to people , we were lucky to chat to people far and wide .I found this recording from a few years ago where we got to have a chat to the iconic Merv Hughes. Merv needs no introduction to cricketing fans world wide but his fishing leaves alot to be desired , this chat is when Merv is just starting out on his TV show Merv Hughes Fishing.

We briefly touched on our tackle storage solutions on last show bit we go in depth now , from sandwich containers to slit foam tackleboxes we chat about them all (I will put some photos up so you can see the set up). Rhyce is probably the most organised fisherman I know and it was great to chat how he stores his prawns , vibes and swimbaits each system holds them perfectly in line as a bent tail can be the difference between catching and not catching.
