Hi @AB-zy3xd, I reckon if I'm able to find a little honey hole, I'll send it in 😎 hahahaaa. It's been a strange season I reckon. I hope things pick up for you off Ocean Reef and cheers for watching mate, appreciate it👍
Where on the same ground as you Damo with 3 old pot's and one brand spanker, one old pot got stuck, and the new pot hasn't produced one, but the other 2 older pot's are producing double digits every pull. Love ur work man
I’m thinking the milk crate might be to light and moving with the drag on rope and floats 🤷🏽 perhaps more weight might seal the deal , non the less I’m here until it catches hahah , keep it up Damo 🤙
Hi @cruizfischer1094, I have tried extra weight, different entries, different bait baskets, even different coloured milk crates! It is pretty wild to me that not even one (by fluke or otherwise) has found its way in yet! Cheers for the feedback mate, I really do appreciate it 😎👍
Hi @petermoore7724, it's an aluminium junction box, they are an electrical junction box. They are pretty readily available, Jaycar have a heap of sizes, see link below (hope it works) Cheers for the support mate! www.jaycar.com.au/sealed-diecast-aluminium-enclosure-115-x-65-x-30mm/p/HB5036?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAu8W6BhC-ARIsACEQoDD3ixszVh_PgyDNePqWEHZ0fvjcKhwK5kb0lWEtNXa3fdb6ELXYu0AaApCMEALw_wcB
I have watched you build your plastic pot and told my wife you were going to catch any Crazy fish. I have to tell you that your pot is too light and if you add more weight and make it heavy you should be able to catch some. Add 20 kilograms and there will be no movement in the water. Plastic floats up and your small weight is moving around to much with current and swells and floats . 20 kilograms of railway plates or 10 kilograms. Try with 10 and work your way up.

Hi @pennreelfishing, thanks so much for being a supporter from the beginning! I really appreciate the feedback and kind words mate 🙏 There is over 15kg in that little pot hahahaaaaa, the only real way to get more in is to put in a larger single weight plate on the rope end and then a couple of smaller ones at the back... that might be the next move! I am really happy that you are enjoying the vids and thanks again 😎👍
Hey Damo, which day was this? I got my 8 last two times I pulled the pots, Friday / Saturday. I reckon just get your wooden pot back in like you suggest! Definitely a bit of a weird season. The lump I fished last year very successfully so far I caught nothing from. Maybe it will fire tomorrow morning. Man those sharks are crazy. I've never seen them like that in the same spot every day. You must have found their daytime home.
Hi Wazza, I just checked out your vid - well done mate!!! The little man was a champion in the choppy conditions! 😎🤘 To be fair, this vid was filmed a number of days ago, can't remember the specific date... Hoping to head out in the morning though, so hopefully the little roaches are there waiting for me. The sharks are pretty cool, they always seem to follow me around! Cheers mate!
Hi Ron, yeah, I was really hoping it would perform hey! The season has been really patchy for me this year, if I was able to pull more numbers I would keep it going I reckon. Maybe if I find a honey hole I'll send it in! Thanks mate 👍
Hi @HEADACHEtheskidcar, I've never tried Chicken or Steak in pots before! Using Tuna heads for som oil content and just fish or fish frames to bulk it up. That usually does the trick for me, but this year is a bit slower than usual 😫 Cheers man 😎
Keep it going Damo never declare defeat 😂
Hahahaaaa cheers Ben!
keep going mate with milk grate keeps bringing me back to watch , im not doing much better my self out of ocean reef

Hi @francismchenry8826, I'm glad you are pulling some decent numbers. I guess the "new pot thing" kinda makes sense... Cheers for the support mate 😎👍
Franky 🍻
Hey Damo love your videos me and my dad saw you now on Ocean reef…good luck

Your mates are back I luv seeing them.😊 The whites are a couple of weeks late this year but numbers should be getting better in the next week or so.😊
Hi Vanessa, they are pretty cool hey. I enjoy seeing them each time I go out 😎
The Crays are definitely later this year hey!
Cheers 😊

Hi Mate… I noticed you had your foot switch in a casing/housing, did you make this or buy it and if so where from… many thanks and keep at it

I think my coffee table would catch more then that milk crate

Nice Damo, mate piss that bucket of 💩 milk crate off. No entertainment pulling 🍩’s. Thanks for the vid 👍
Hahahahahaaaa! Cheers mate, agreed!
Honestly, I was hoping most people would say this! 🤣🤣
Been a while since I watched your vid's. Still making quality. Just one question "What is the definition of insanity?".
Hi Michael, thanks mate!
To answer your question, pulling the same pot empty 12 times in a row I reckon qualifies!! 🤣🤣🤣

@ cool I might see you out in the morning
bring another pot with you next time, I was cheering for it, but sometimes your horse ain't going to run.
Hi Ron, yeah, I was really hoping it would perform hey! The season has been really patchy for me this year, if I was able to pull more numbers I would keep it going I reckon.

Get rid of the milk crate Damo.
Cheers mate!👍
Need more blood and more off a smelly bait man it sounds silly but I’ve hurd chicken and stakes mixed together old stuff it’s better
Hi @HEADACHEtheskidcar, I've never tried Chicken or Steak in pots before! Using Tuna heads for som oil content and just fish or fish frames to bulk it up.
That usually does the trick for me, but this year is a bit slower than usual 😫
Cheers man 😎
For all the work and effort, I think you should wave the white flag on the milk crate, you gave it a real good shot.
Hi John, I couldn't agree more to be honest mate hahahaaa 🤣 Cheers!
