Eureka!!!

I don't usually get involved with the Saturday afternoon television fishing programmes. However, yesterday, whilst cooking my tea, I had the box on warming up for the news.

When Mr Thomas started his usual banter it started to ring a few bells, I had been down this path before many, many times, and suddenly a great light dawned. Now to all the august members of this site who have tried valiantly to catch a feed, at last the secret is out and I am prepared to share.

I had a realisation that this is the umpteenth programme I had watched and it's not the bait, it's not the method or even the location. Take a rugby player with you, preferably a current or past All Black, and success is practically guaranteed.

All thanks must go to our TV show hosts, even though I feel they should have brought this tip out in the open some time ago.

You must also ensure that your rod is jammed up firmly under your armpit at all times...

They dont tell you how many times they went out (with a rugby head) to get the program.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

If it doesn't work on the first take, then in rugby parlance they give it another try.

It's important to note that when Thomas places his arms around the necks of those special rugby guests, he is not attempting a touch down. He only does this for a giggle.

You can tell he's excited from all the high pitched squealing he does. But on a more sober note, when was the last time any of the fishing shows gave us 30 minutes off the beach. Perhaps there are no advertising dollars in a BOS and Pulley Rig.

Good point, Druid. Your post may encourage 'The Warehouse' to stock them.

I would like to see the warehouse get completely out of fishing gear. They don't do it well and are no cheaper than anyone else . You mugs that shop there could find the same items cheaper at your local tackle shop.

The Wharehouse won't tell you how to use them or spool ya reel up for you, or give you tips on locations,times,baits so on. Yeah that Geoff does squeal like a litlle hobo

. Still any fishing programmes are better than the Apprentice, or Afganhistans got talent

Phil, my comment regarding 'The Warehouse' was purely tongue in cheek at the recommendation Mr Sinclair gives out on his programme. I am surprised that Black Magic hooks advertise during the time slot for his programme as to the best of my knowledge their products are not available at that retail outlet.

I get far better gear and at cheaper prices from my local store where I am viewed as a valued customer.

Anyway, back to topic, anyone know where ex All Blacks can be found as a talisman for fishing trips? I wish to follow Mr Thomas's story of success.

I believe there are some "Black Caps", diving with sharks in SA. Would one of theme do, or perhaps they wouldn't even make good berley. Certainly not much use as a livie.

You could take the Black Cap's management to Australia and use them as bait for Taylor.

I had an e-mail war with Mr Thomas some years ago trying to get him interested in providing some shore based shows rather than cruising around the ocean until a gadget tells him where the fish are, what type they are and how deep. He wasn't interested at all in doing anything at all on surf-casting.

If you watch his video called 'Surfcasting Secrets', you may understand why.

AS one of the few survivers of surfcasting secrets I think it was inspirational in its time, which has now passed.
