Oops hey Atticafish the bug eyed heads are just a round head filed flat on sides to stick on a google eye, y'know those domed hollow plastic eyes with a moving black pupil rattling around inside? Then just painted with nail polish the same colour as the head. To me lots of bugs have eyes the same colour as their heads. I'll stick some up on the tying forum.
Hey Garndpa Bob if it's the Bangalow in northern NSW then its about eight hours up the coast. Heavenly part of the world.
Hey Salty and Jigman all manner of beasties would eat your jigs here! The yellowtail and mahi mahi in particular would smash em.
In fact I reckon the crappie and bass fishos on this forum would kill it on Sydney Harbour. It's an amazing fishery for a place surrounded by a city of 5 million humans. Fish your jigs like you would in a clear water lake (but with tides!) or river and the local fish would be putty in your hands. There are more marine species in Sydney Harbour then all the marine waters in all of Europe! And then there's the native Australian bass, all around Sydney's fringes (and closer if you know where) which have never seen a hair jig!! It ain't without plenty of problems and I hope I don't sound like a smug Aussie, but it can be a cool place and you never know what's gonna hit that jig. Then again I don't have trout down the end of the stret like lots of you blokes have.
Goes without saying that if anyone ever finds themselves here they had better call so they can go wet a line and a hand made lure.
