25.01.2022 Time to talk tackle fellow Fishos! This one has been in our arsenal for a while now, the best knot for tying braid to leader in our opinion is the mighty FG knot. Anyone who knows how to tie it will quickly tell you it's the best (better than double-double uni, improved albright or 'slim beauty' knots). There's a few ways to tie it, for smaller applications (40lb leader or less) there's: The longer way, but easier to tie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oohOoOOmbNk... Or the quicker but more complicated way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjzUb5QRKuk If you can work it out, the Rizutto finish is a better way to finish the knot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rnZiyRUG9c For 50lb or above it's much easier to get a Bobbin Winder. Sure they're expensive but they're worth it and you'll never be so satisfied from tying a knot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go8ApC2SO50 Nobody's right all the time - got a better suggestion, idea or application comment below! Free beer for 9 days on our 9 day charter, goto: norval.com.au

25.01.2022 Aaand we're back! Hope everyone enjoyed the Chrissy holidays. Big year planned for Norval - and we're starting the year with a huge announcement in a few days time that's guaranteed to take us to a whole new level - watch this space!

23.01.2022 A nice Red Emperor from a recent trip - one the best eating fish out there! Don't forget we fillet and process anything that you want to keep (or eat whilst on the charter), which is exactly what happened with this one. www.norval.com.au for more info

22.01.2022 good roomie back

22.01.2022 We promised a good surprise and we deliver! We've added a new option to our fleet - a center console aimed specifically towards pelagic's (Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Mackerel, Tuna etc). This is also guided by one of the best in the business. This is in addition to our fleet that we take out for our 5, 7 and 9 days fishing charters (more like a fishing adventure holiday). We've now got the MV Norval - 60ft of home comforts, 2 Tinny's for Island hopping AND the option for guided pelagic center console! Custom Inner reef tours available between now and March (pick how many days you want to go for). 5, 7 and 9 day Marion tours fire again come March - Call Ron for more info on 0413 148 554. Last year was nothing short of epic and 2017 is going to be even better....

19.01.2022 Time to talk tackle fellow Fishos! This is how we deploy the Twisted Dropper Loop from our previous post in the Paternoster rig. Starting from the top - Uni's to connect the top swivel (See previous post). - Twisted Dropper Loop in the middle (See previous post).... - Uni's to a second bottom swivel (The second swivel, to attach the sinker works a treat in lots of current, it stops the rig 'twirling'). - Lastly, tie the sinker on using a weak knot. This can be just about any knot (I use http://www.lovetheoutdoors.com//Fly-Fishing-Knots/Dave-Haw). That way, If you snag the bottom with your sinker, it'll drop the sinker and you'll keep the rig! Bookings go to: www.norval.com.au

18.01.2022 Time to talk tackle fellow Fishos! This little known knot the Twisted Dropper Loop, for Paternoster rigs only, is best for deeper dropping (50m+) with strong currents but can work in most offshore applications. Twisted Dropper Loops can be tied comfortably in leader up to 100lb or so. Pros: - quite strong if tied correctly (there's a weaker version called 'the dropper loop' - the twisted part of the knot helps with both strength and bait presenation) - stops hooks tangling ...around your mainline - interchangeable hooks - quick to tie - with dry hands! Cons: - Quite stiff/rigid, so bait presentation isn't the best it possibly could be, so if you're fishing in places that are really frequently fished (a problem we don't have) with really clear water it may not be the best choice. - Not suitable for big live baits (best for smaller live baits and dead bait). How to tie it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4_7dNRRgRY We'll post about rest - the Paternoster rig- next time. Give Ron a buzz for more info on our charter 0413 148 554.

16.01.2022 Any fishermen out there traveling through the reef out from townsfull those big seas last week we lost our 3 doreys in 35 knot wind last time we saw them they were heading to cains

15.01.2022 This is a unique place in Australia and the fishing cannot be equaled. Swains is where the Norval goes when it is bad weather at Marion Reef. The fishing at Swains is as good as Marion but better cover from the weather. If you visit this remote area you are in a very unique group of islands as close to nature as you can get.

10.01.2022 sorry for the lack of news have been so busy

08.01.2022 Time to talk weather fellow Fisho's! Temps looking good for Marion Reef ! When it comes to weather we're starting to get spoilt for choice. There's a plethora of different tools we can use to improve our catch. Today I'd just like to show you some cool new tools you may of missed: A Global Wind map - very cool, great for an overall perspective of where winds originate https://earth.nullschool.net/... BOM's new Meteye is just fantastic - it's a more visual look at the current weather and forecast. You can push play at the top and cycle through the current forecast and muck with the tools on the left to get different overlays (Wind, Radar, Sea Surface Temp, Chance of Rain etc). http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/meteye/ Predict Wind Only just picked up on this one, gives you 3 different forecasts in one spot. Not sure if it should be relied on, just checking it out myself at the moment. https://www.predictwind.com/ BOM's new HI-DEF Satellite images. Credit where credit is due and this new upgrade has made it something else: http://satview.bom.gov.au/ Of course you can forget all that and come to Marion - Bookings go to: www.norval.com.au

05.01.2022 The highlight reel from the Reefari.com boys 9 day charter to Marion. So much fun! www.norval.com.au for bookings

03.01.2022 Drop a not-so-subtle hint what you reeeeeaaly want for Chrissy and send them this! Although we advertise 9-day charters, we do cater to special occasions and requests (like diving or spearfishing trips and shorter trips on request).

03.01.2022 Time to talk tackle fellow Fishos! This is the go-to knot appropriate to almost any situation - from big to small fish. It's really easy to tie and it's super strong. You name it, we've caught it with a Uni knot somewhere in the rig - from Marlin down to bait. Best for tying leader to hooks or leader to swivels. Not appropriate for tying braid to leader - see the FG knot in our previous post. Thicker lines require less loops in step 2. Pro tip: wet the knot with a bit of spit for best results. Make sure to watch this video for the best techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZTsB65D-bM Charter info: www.norval.com.au
