This is the only grub soft plastic that I carry and I fish it with confidence in those very quiet times when we can see the fish on the sounder but they are not interested.{{end}}

{{+1}}Check list – emergency kit{{-1}}
{{start}}
I keep my emergency kit in a small orange zip lock bag. It does have just enough first aid items to get by but most of the content are items you may need in an emergency.{{end}}
{{+1}}Check list – offshore deep water dark side fishing{{-1}}
{{start}}
From the year 2000 and up until we moved to Gladstone in Central most of my fishing was with fly. Since moving to CQ my fishing has been quite different and with "tongue in cheek" I have basically called it fishing on the dark side.{{end}}
{{+1}}Check list – lake barra outings{{-1}}
{{start}}
One of my favourite past times is dusk and night fishing for big barramundi in Lake Awoonga. To be successful in the dark it's important to have the right gear at hand and knowing where each item is.{{end}}

{{+1}}Colour pallet{{-1}}
{{start}}
These are the colours that I use when making my own soft plastics and also favor if I am buying production soft plastics.{{end}}
{{+1}}Alpha prawn – open/top pour soft plastic{{-1}}
{{start}}
These 130mm long top pour soft plastics are my take on a soft plastic imitation of a prawn and I use them when targeting not only barramundi but also other larger fish that thrive on prawns such as fingermark, flathead and grunter.{{end}}

This amazing estuary fly tied in Qantas colours of red and white or natural colours of olive and shrimp is like candy to many estuary species. This estuary version is tied on a size #2/0 hook with a 3/16" dumbbell eyes.{{end}}
