Finally started making some lures for the creeks up here.
The trade winds are in full swing in Cooktown so after a few trials and many errors. Here is my mullet. Painted over 3 separate coats of UV resin. I am loving the UV resin for this type of stuff as it’s not a 3 days process but unsure if I’ll use it for my larger stickbaits and poppers. It doesn’t seem to bond to the previous layer anywhere near as well as epoxy. |

That is a top paint job and colour combo, great shape and a good finish.
So you are in Cooktown at the moment? Currently we have another rain storm going on. This is one very wet "dry" season.

Cheers horrohead. I moved up here about 8 months ago. It’s been a very wet 8 months hahaha. Have you been getting out for a fish at all recently? I Haven’t been out since we had that good run of weather back at the end of February... |

It's been too rough for the reef, the rocks and the rivers are still pretty dead with very little bait moving in.
Been to Lakefield a couple of times and looking at going again once the rain eases up.

Thanks mate, It took a while to get it all happening. Grabbed a mullet out of the castnet and studied it for a bit. Hopefully it imitates one enough to be swallowed :) |
