    @7mmwsm.
    Trout fishing is an art form, modt especially in clean crisp rivers. Grin @Gibo. Yes, some sea critters will eat trout sized baits but interestingly an analysis done on Marlin gut content revealed 90+% of their food was around pilchard sized; much like the trout diet comprising very small insects and nymphs.
    Like trout, sea fish taken from very clean water generally are best eating.
    Actually. Tickling trout and salmon is an even higher art form than fly fishing IMHO.

    Old memory is nothing flash @rewa. On a forestry trip in BC years ago we were well up a river from Quesnel. There were some Indian boys snagging salmon with handlines and big treble hooks. We gave them a demo on tickling salmon. I was surprised they had no knowledge of that method til wr showed them

    I would think having it munched would be total validation of the project

    Never had a hit on topwater by a shark. Chances are slim

    @Gibo. Try trolling at 6 knots with a red lure. Youll get plenty of sharks, especially makos. Even hammers in hot temps.

    Ha ha Yeah had sharks on trolling lures plenty, don’t need to be red either. I more meaning casting lures. A few mates have had follows from the harbour bronzies but i havnt had one at all, cant see it changing much by throwing a home made lure
