Ive seen some homemade lures on telly that made me think you can catch fish on anything at all.

Did anybody see the show on TV last year about a guy in NT that makes lures from anything thats lying around, on the spot? It was one of those Sunday weekender shows. I didnt get his name, but he was pretty well known.

well this guy sits on a boat, and says give me the silver paper from your ciggy packet.....ties it up to a hook, bang -barra on. Then he cuts a piece of tin from a drink can, ties it on a hook, bang - more barra. Then he gets a piece of wool/cotton from your shirt, yep, another barra.

Unbeleivable. right spot, right time, I guess.

I reckon the silver paper would work on trevally down here.
I'll let you know.

Yep i saw that, it was a doco on one of those NT good ol'boys. he also used a bit of his red shirt as a lure, and a piece of plastic shopping bag, got smashed up by GTs. great show but i wonder what the greenies would think of having fish hit shopping bag lures.

My old man reckons that he used to catch all types of tropical fish in New Guinea on banana skins. Doubt they will catch on here.
