#9 and #13 ?? I'm not sure what these are.....they might be I'd plates for coast guard boats under 40 ft. Still studying.....these might be pretty early. I dont know what they mean yet. Dug them on my after work hunt today.

Do they sell WD-40 in Australia? If so, get yourself a can and the next time
you're out fishing give your lure a good spray before you cast. View attachment 2242742

I have heard of that but not tried it. Back in the early 90s when we lived on the Vic surf coast and I fished a lot in salt water using Abu bait casters and a Penn Jig master a guy showed me just rinse the spool with line under a tap and spray the entire reel with WD40. Kept catching fish so it didn't deter them being on the line.
For a go I should at least try it with a lure. They recently changed the recipe here so I wonder if it would work now as good as you and others reckon it does. It still works great as a lubricant but there is virtually no smell now.

We have been watching a bit of it too, more than normal as lots of our tv stations are still down due to the bushfire damage to the towers. There has been some very good games though I must admit.

I spoke to my psychologist today and she asked how I was getting on with my imaginary friends. I told her "huh, imaginary? "oh my Viking buddy, the Pepper man, the guy that looks like an Arrow head, and some guy that gets Dizzy? Yes surfing pirates, people that look like dogs and various other animals and objects....😀....Yes we all get together on an imaginary Pirate ship and make fun of each other!" 😀
I came too several hrs later with a drip in my arm. 🫤

Did you tell her you have a "worm farm?" She'd probably give you an extra drip. Worm farm.......🤔🤪🙄

No treasure for me today. Bought a new fish finder and took it out on the lake to try it out.
Worked great, showed me the depth and where all the fish were hanging out. Now I need a device that makes them hungry.
As you can see, it was a tough day.

Years ago Dad was watching my fish finder a while for the first time.
Then he asked why the fish were all swimming the same direction.

Love my fishing. I do breed my own Euro Nightcrawlers.
These things are bullet proof in our climate.
I keep them in an above ground 2 layer small worm farm. They live in detoxified and de salted coconut fibre. Buy ones, the fibre blocks, with no guarantees of treatment and watch the worms disappear overnight.
I feed mine on powdered oats, powdered polenta, they come small grains but I put them into a ninja blender to reduce the size even more. Typically many freshwater fish strangely like stupid flavors. Corn, chicken, aniseed, garlic and others.
Mine I initially fed Polenta which is corn meal, Oats and mushroom skins and stems. They demolish it all. Im about to introduce star anise powder after another older guy I met told me about adding it. I had used aniseed seed scented soft plastics, my everytime go to lure, with good results but the idea of adding aniseed to my worm farm had crossed my mind but I just forgot about it. But seeing pictures from this older guys phone who said his feeding way was very much like mine but with star anise added, and he lives on the Murray River and wins competitions regularly, attributing it to the added aniseed flavour. Im in feeding mine now and waiting for May to try this out when our fishing weather starts.
An idea maybe for where you are to try.

I should establish another bed.
Shallow to allow air is vital. Then temperature.

I've introduced a couple tablespoons of coffee grounds at times. And when I ran a compost bed kept an area adjacent damp and kept crawlers around.

By putting a dozen crawlers in a shallow reused used food dish with lightly damp brown paper towel torn into leaf sized pieces (or used to use black and white news paper) and putting the in the refrigerator they became conditioned after a few days.
Toss one hooked out in the water and rest the fishing rod with the line tightened up and watch the rod tip move about with the crawler .

I used to pick crawlers in spring rains after they had been up and back down a couple times in the season.
Then used commercial bedding in the basements. Ground temp being almost cool enough.
Often when my couple hundred were used up was about the time it was so dry out getting more took effort.
And was the time I thought I should not only be selling crawlers. But selling conditioned crawlers to buyers with deep pockets.
