    Hi Zander, thanks that you try to show us the how you read the gulley's and waves and banks. Can I ask how far, in this case with the bloodworm (your first) cast, was the "back" bank onto which you casted the bait? It's difficult to determine on the video.

Xander does a great job at promoting sustainable fishing practices. I wouldn’t like to see hundreds (if not way more) fishermen think it’s ok to keep prawns (or any other kinds of bait species) with eggs. When you have a large following you should strive to set the right example, right across the board.

      Hi Barry, yeah sorry about that. I try not to take those but they do slip through. I pumped on the low tide on the dry sand and not on the higher tide as one should do. So when the prawn is out I just see them moving underneath the sand,pick up and put it in the bucket. Usually when I see them full of eggs I leave them, but they do slip through from time to time.

      Kob populations are greatly declining on all our Coastlines and large breeding kob like this helps sustain the population. Theirs nothing wrong with taking a fish or two , but think of the future and conservation. And i don't think his wasting his time , his passing on valuable tips and skills to other anglers making these videos and being a great role model for other anglers. Hope you understand where his coming from.
