Great vid mate. I reckon the more wind the better, particularly a southerly, don't know why (in Port Stephens NSW). Also, I gave up on the FG as it was too hard to be consistent with across all line classes. I now (for the last couple of years anyway) use a modified Slim Beauty.

Try the surgeons knot to join light braid to fluorocarbon leader. It is easier and much quicker to tie than the FG. Recently I got my lure snagged and the uni knot (tied directly to a small lure 😮clip) broke before the surgeons knot. Very confident with this knot.

Leader knot I use is one I found called a kaneit knot. Just like a double uni only a double wrap around leader and and maybe 10 wraps around braid. Quick to tie and has done the job when landing gts to 65cms on the flats using 3kg main line.

Hey John, i notice whiting tend to drop fairly often with the sugarpen, noticed it in your video too. I find drastically increases your hookup rate if you use a little assist hook instead of the treble that comes standard on the sugar pen.

Mate I use a surgeon's knot, It ties easy enough and runs through the guides with no issues. More importantly, when your knee deep in water it's no problem getting it sorted 9lb mission complete to 4lb fc rock fluro leader casts really well and is strong. Try chucking a bassday backfire, they cast a mile and catch the big ones

Loved the video John .Wish it was on here when I got started! I'm just finding that good locations are difficult to come by. I'm completely land based and it looks like all the flats worth fishing on google maps can only be accessed by some sort of watercraft :( and everywhere I've tried on the Gold Coast has been a bust. Any tips on what to look out for?

Enjoyed very much yr tutorial on Whiting fishing with poppers etc, me and a mate got a feed of Whiting couple days ago off a sandbar at Harrington with live nippers that we pumped in the Town 20 mins before, talk about idyllic times. I reckon you can’t go past live bait, with small little size 4 bait holder hooks and light line, I run a leader of 4 lb. There’s some flats that run for Kms locally that I want to get on in early morn wading with poppers. Gonna use the knowledge I learnt from yr tutorial. Maybe give one of the Daiwa Slippery Dogs a go, how do you rate them?

Thanks for the reply, I was admiring the quality of the audio when your camera was at the back and you were on the bow. In my vids I use a 5black and just got an 8black. I do have a rode video micro, which I use with an iPhone for vlogging, but I’ve had crackle or choppy audio in. I wind and and very low volume issues with the iPhone using it. And recently more wind issues than I would have thought. I Was hoping the GoPro with it would be more reliable yours seems sweet, love your whiting vids. Example wind chop.

Can be your reel, I've noticed diawas on the cheaper end get wayyyy more wind knots than my shimanos, to the point I've given all 4 budget diawas I've had away. Make sure you are trimming tags on leader knots very closely as they can get caught on guides for half a second and it causes the braid behind it to loop up. Maybe trying running all your line out and winding it back on under good tension as it may have a lot of twist in it, can do this by throwing off a jetty etc and let the tide take a float away from you and wind it back on

John Thanks again for the video. Regarding an easy knot, if you search KZfaq using "easy braid to mono knot" there is a video about a minute and a half by a gentleman with a German accent - I have used this knot for a couple of years without any failures - you can tie it with your eyes closed. It must have some limitations or everyone would be using it!Regards Stirling M

Perhaps its the rainless Summer but I have not seen a legal sized whiting for months. If you want to fish in a lot of sun, come to Burrum Heads. We've missed the rain so far. Unfortunately there hasn't been much of a crabbing or prawn season due to the dry either.

Michael Shaw I just googled your "Nail Knot tool" and found it very interesting. Looking at it, it's basically making a uni knot. I've got a partially disabled left hand (car accident) and I more often than not have a hard time doing my preferred double uni knot when tying braid to leader. (not in a Fly fishing scenario), but with a bit of imagination, this tool could be used to give the same outcome.....or am I wrong? ie. do the mainline braid tie first, then spin the tool around and do the leader tie next, then snug them up. boy ! that would make life a lot easier for me if it's doable. I've never even heard of a nail knot, pardon my ignorance.
