Hi Team! Some good news...after 2 years of learning the craft of lure making, and a year of hard spinning, drone'ing, GoPro'ing & editing, I am super pleased to be launching my Smithy Fishing YouTube Channel later today with a 7-part mini series titled 'Plastic to Pelagics.' YouTube Channel link bio.
The 7 videos span the east coast of Australia where my challenge is to hand make a lure from recycled plastic milk bottles, then use this lure to catch a solid Pelagic..ideally Longtail Tuna, Spano or GT!
Aside from documenting this incredible journey, the series carries a powerful & harrowing message of Ocean Plastic pollution and our role as Guardians of our precious playground.
So at 6pm today (Sydney, 5 Feb 2023), the Series Trailer will air. If you are interested to see how this challenge unfolds, please subscribe to the YouTube channel. Link in bio.
[Shameless request ... I figured after 2 years of work, just one would be ok :) ] ... I would be super grateful if you could share this post and share with the peeps in your IG channel. I'm super happy with how all the videos turned out. Be sure to watch to the end! That's all I will say!!!
Massive thanks to all brothers that have enthusiastically supported this project mission from Day 1. You know who you are! 🙏
Catch you on a ledge somewhere soon. Yeeeewww! 😉
