Best Nomad DVDs
June 21, 2010, 09:14:21 PM
Hi Folks,

I'm about to buy a bunch of GT DVDs and I'm trying to work out the best of the Nomad videos. I think the available ones are:

Shoalwater GT Safari

A Day At Bugatti

GT Mania (Mark Berg Ultimate Fishing Vol 1)

Five Days at Fraser

Is "Five Days..." the best of these DVDs (I think it's the latest)? I'm buying a few of the Jap DVDs (Legend 5 and Patriot Tanzania) but I'm interested in picking up tips from other English language GT DVDs. I've no plans to fish Aus (yet...) so this is more aimed at learning the basics rather than destination specific stuff.

Any recommendations for other English language GT (or even general Tropical popping/jigging) DVDs would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

5 Days at Fraser is the oldest one I believe, from like 2000 or 2001 maybe, before they started doing the mothership trips and were based out of fraser island....it is a pretty cool DVD, mix of popping and jigging (with GT rods, looks painful and according to Tim Baker, it was  ;D)

A day at bugatti has some cool action, not a whole lot of technique from memory? maybe there is a tackle segment with Damon....I can't remember

Must be time for me to watch them again

I haven't seen the Shoalwater one, but having fished there and seen some short vids, I would say it would be pretty cool

Not a Nomad one but "Legend 5" with Okubo rocks!!
60kg + GT and great shots of the strikes.
Matsutani's "World Hunting Explorer" is okay too but nowhere as good as "Legend 5"
Hope I did sidetrack too much here.

I love legend 5, it's probably the best I've seen. I just wish it had english translations.

Ripples in the Coral Sea is awesome, and I think still available from Nomad, thats where I got it, defintely worth a look... not a hell of a lot on technique, but some great action...

The Mark Berg one is average....
