Into the Fishing Shed - Rig Making - Sea Bass and Multi Species Lure Rig - Joining Braid to Fluorocarbon

I am about to start lure fishing from the shore mainly for Bass but also other species. The rig I use is a multi species rig used for casting a variety of lures but occasionally used for vertical jigging from the kayak.
 
 


In the video below, I talk about the rig and show the tying of a rubbing leader by joining braid to fluorocarbon using a uni to uni knot otherwise known as a double uni knot.

Shore Fishing - Pontoon Fishing for Grey Mullet

Areas of still calm waters and structure such as harbour walls, marinas, jetties, piers, and pontoons attract Grey Mullet. They love the shelter that these areas provide, and the abundance of the food they feed on such as crustaceans in the sand and mud they filter and the algae that grows on the structure.
 
 
In the video below, I try to catch the frustratingly difficult to catch Mullet from a pontoon using bread as bait.
