Tip of the day for June 28, 2007

Mick Hastings doesn't use a marker rod when it comes to plumbing new waters.

"Instead of using normal marker float set up, an alternative is to use a lure rod & fish while you plumb," he says.

"Cast out a sinking lure, watch the line and count it down. You can get a good feel for the swim and even catch a few bonus fish."
