I was recently contacted by Charles Armstrong enquiring about my leaders and a non fishing use.  Charles races model yachts and was looking for a product to restore his yachts.  After some correspodence I sent some samples to Charles and he was over the moon.

Like I said a bit out of left field and not a fishng post but another happy customer.

Cheers

Long time user of Shane Doevy Leaders - Craig sent me some pics of his exploits - "mate the 30 lb leaders you made me for the whiting worked a treat and those 40 lb leaders handled the snapper no problems at all.

We snagged the shovelnose on a 50 lb wind on leader - it played up for ages and gave the kids heaps but the leader handled the work load with ease.  Thanks - Craig"

For sending in his pics for the web site Craig receives a discount on his next order - well done mate.  Send in or upload your pics of fish caught on Shane Doevy Leaders for a discount rate on your nect order.

With every man and his dog heading for 4 Mile hole and needing to get a bloke his first barra I made the call for some quiet time at Shady Fresh - awoke this morning to a pea souper fog which hung around till we got past Bark Hut making driving interesting. Nearly skittled mumma pig and several littleys as we exited the Mary River Bridge but the brakes pulled us up in time to watch them toddle off on there way - where the bl..dy rifle when ya need it. Rest of the trip in was uneventful and found only one car in the park on the fresh side - mmm maybe no fish biting here.

Trolled the bottom rock bar for jack and then headed up to the little creek that had produced a couple of weeks back and it didnt let me down - rats were coming over the side thick and fast and after a while Daryl my guest from Streaky Bay landed his first barra - in fact for a while there he snagged more than me as I was buggering around with different lures etc - we would ahve landed in excess of 30 barra - none worth keeping but good fun none the less - had a chat with Mickey from Spring Tide and he was doing it tough as well. Move to the top rock bar and dropped a good fish which would have been the best for the day but it wasnt to be - then we went right up the top and Daryl landed a nice saratoga and then we called it quits - a nice way to spend a day. No world record beaters but good numbers to keep me interested. All fish were caught on 40 lb wind on leaders which performed really well and allowed an excellent action in the soft plastics we were casting.  I only caught one fish all day on a hard body reidys lure.  Road is good - lots of cars on the way in when we were heading home so other areas may have been a bit quiet too.

Heres some feedback I received today -

"Thanks for the correspondence, I’m finding your leaders to be strong, reliable and just good quality to use, down here in our Southern seas we I am sing them for trolling for tuna, attached to both diving lures and skirted lures and they perform nicely. They also bring good results when bottom bouncing for shark, I was losing a lot of School Shark due to them rubbing through shorter leaders or main line when they wrapped their sandpaper like skin around the line. Your leaders resist the abrasion better and as a result we boat more shark when using them and rarely lose a rig, knot or fish."

Regards - Phil

Slipped out to Dundee on Saturday 2/7/11 to take a couple of my southern mates for a fish - with big lows down in the bight it was looking promising. Found 3 or 4 boats in front of us - not too long a wait and we were on our way on pretty flat seas and soon arrived out near long lost.

It wasnt a super hot day fish wise - only saw one small mack chase my bait to the surface. Nothing looked at my sandmar all day. Only really found fish on one mark out around long lost - ended up with a nice feed of tricky snapper - some good ones - millions of little ones and heaps of bl..dy small stripeys.

Only one small bust up near long lost - small mack tuna a i think but couldnt get too close to them.

Reports from the ramp were that the macks had been ridiculous but had slowed right down. Most caught some fish but nothing awesome - some more reports froma mate in the park of share farming of crab pots - I need to come up with and anti theft device for crab pots and Ill make a killing.

Did snag 3 red emporer which are awesome looking fish - not very big but beautiful none the less..

Nothing to really stretch the wind ons from this trip but hey it was better than working and a good day on the water with mates is never a bad day.

Cheers

Shane
