    Cheers Antz

    It generally helps if the hooky bit goes in the water.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    You tube is your friend Antz . Malcolm Bell has some soft bait tutorials (short & bang on ) He owns Complete Angler in Ch Ch , He knows his stuff when it come to those Canals . Gear up with Jig heads ,soft baits , & pams frozen shrimp or prawn with small hooks . Both methods work . Good Luck .
