The time is here and while we madly finish the last of the Christmas shopping and wrapping of presents, Santa is busy feeding up his reindeer and loading the sleigh for another big night of all thing jolly.

In the real world, the rest of us are no doubt loading the car full of all our camping and fishing gear ready to enjoy a few weeks of relaxation right around the country.

Of all, besides the big smiles and laughter from the littlies on Christmas morning, heading out for a fish without having to worry about going to work the following day will be certainly be a lot of fun.

On Facebook, I have already seen many posts from people currently away catching plenty of fish right around the country and while everyone is having a great old time, the team at FBW just wanted to say a very big thankyou to all our readers and we hope you all have an enjoyable break, Christmas and happy New Year.

We will be back in full bloom next week with plenty more feature articles to entertain you on a weekly basis.

This week, I took a look at a specific soft plastic that I have been flicking around these past few weeks for snapper. You may have seen a glimpse of them in recent features but all in all, this specific softie has become my new go to lure when flicking for reds.



Please, when you have the chance while kicking back on your campsite relaxing and taking in the serenity, scroll down and take a look at some of the features that have been recently posted. There is a lot of jam packed information that you will find very interesting along with some changes to the boating/fishing industry.

Until next week,

Have a very happy Christmas and safe New Year.

Pivot on this
I despise the way ‘pivot' got used as many times as those wretched QR codes... Yes indeed. As much as I would hate to take people back to the COVID era, that's exactly what I've just done. Making that problematic trip back in time look good, is how much I despise the way ‘pivot' got used as many times as those wretched QR codes.

Watching the growing sailing scene in China
A fun weekend at the 2025 Lake Fuxian Regatta I've become fascinated with the growing sailing scene in China. I had so many preconceptions ahead of my first visit to the country in 2024, which were blown out of the water on that trip, and this was reaffirmed at the Lake Fuxian Regatta.
