In September, 2014 I had the pleasure of joining Adam Nicholson and David Woltschenko from Modern Fishing Magazine at Windamere Dam (NSW) to do some product testing for an Article called ‘Shake, Rattle ‘n’ Roll – A buyers guide to vibe lures. Whilst this was the first time the boys had the pleasure of fishing the dam, they kindly asked if I would be happy to join to help them piece together the vibe puzzle. With hundreds of vibe options available, choosing the right lure for the job can be a daunting task for even an experienced angler, so we set out to find the most effective in a variety of different scenario’s on the lakes monster Golden Perch.
The bite was still extremely timid with low water temperatures, but after several successful trips under my belt already for the year, I managed to keep the boys in the action all day. We landed plenty of large fish throughout the day on a wide variety of vibes and managed to work out several different feeding patterns which allowed us to chose our vibe lures according to the conditions. The results spoke for themselves and the article has been very well received.
Whilst fishing, I managed to snap a few frames of video from my iPhone in order to back up our success with a short video edit to give the readers a little visual stimulus to go along side Dave’s wonderful imagery.
