Hi terms
On Saturday We ended up bagging out on gemfish at browns.
We then started cubing and after about 20 minutes we had 2 makos circling the boat. The only bait we had was the smallest gemfish of 4kg. I quickly rigged it on the shark rig and tossed it out and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the reel screamed and suddenly stopped and somehow the mono wind on frayed. The wire trace was about 2.5 metres long and the shark was at least that so I guess the tail must have whipped it while smashing the bait.
The water temp was only 19.5 and the SST charts showed no temp breaks within our reach so we didnt hang around much longer. We heared of one boat hooking up to a large yellowfin to only have it smashed by a moko.

Some people say "its not traditional recreational fishing using electric reels".
What about GPS's,Sounders,etc..
Maybe we should give fishing all away.

I use round galvanised tube about 30mm diametre cut into i50mm to 200mm lengths and then filled with lead.
The gal tube you can find almost anywere and the lead you can buy from scrap yards at about $2.50 per kilo.
You need 1 to 2 kilos per weight and they hit the bottom in half the time of steel.

Sounds like your the only one to get anything in the past week.
Good stuff and keep the reports comming>

Hey anyone heading out Sunday?
Weather is looking O.k and the wind I guess has pushed nice water of upto 22.5 degrees up to the shelf from what I can see.
Is anyone heading out Sunday and if so do you think there's a chance for stripe marlin as well as tuna?
-

Im a subscriber to seasurface.com, Its the most detailed sst site and cost about $220 per year.

Anybody going in search of fin this weekend?
Looks like a good temp break just south of us. I checked the charts and it rises from 18.4 to 20.6.
-
Headed down to bermagui for yellowfin and found the water temp reaching a maximum of 18.6 deg. Realising this the only fishing to be had over the shelf was for makos.
We cubed and chummed for 2hours and the live yellowtail goes of on 15kg outfit with an 80lb jinkai leader. about 40 min later we ended up with a 80kg plus mako.
We also fished the 40m mark for 20 flathead and the same in gummys.
-
Thats great fishing. Well done.
What set up do you with the electrics/rod and reel. We are using a reef queen at the moment and it is starting to get a little too painful for me especially when you pull up nothing.
We use a miya epoch x9 or x8 no smaller than that and bent butt rods between 37kg & 60kg.
-
Well done guys some top Blue eye and Gems as well
That John Dory you got, I dont see the big black circle on its sides like
John Dory I have caught, it looks very silvery also. JD's are usualy more
browney silver, could it pos be some other type of Dory? got any pics? or
maybe its just the colours in the vid thats thrown me, either way its a
nice size Dory

-

Nice vid guys, was the camera ou used a GoPro?
Hi Billy
The camera is a cheap $200 3M underwater handycam generic job and its good value for money..
-
Headed out to browns on saturday and managed to bag out on blue eye and gemfish.
We also managed a john dory.
Check out the video

Awsome stuff
-
spoke to you at the cleaning table they are fat and healthy looking fish
Did you guys do any good?
-
I think bag limits on all species are too high,
Especially if your out there often.
-
Stripies by far, I almost broke a finger while fighting 1 on fly gear.
The drag was light aswell as the line class and the reel spun 100 miles an hour and my thumb was in the way of the handle and I snapped the handle clean..
-
Nice Hoodlums:thumbup:, how long did it take to get out there on that particular day??
It took about 15 mins to get out there and conditions were great.

Left BAFA Sunday morning headed out to our squid spot, within 1 Hr we had 25 on board, most were good size Squid. With the bait tank full headed off to the Peak, weather PERFECT, tried the FAD nothing, continued on, trolled skirts, nothing,seen a few stripys free jumping. Arrived at the Peak and checked the bottom with sounder.Picked up some Arches,went back up current, did a double drop,hit bottom pulled up a bit, minuite later, thump we were on, both rods,20 minutes later I managed to land a 15 Kg Hoodlum, measuring 115cms and the old man after 40min finaly manages to land an 18.5 Kilo monster. (I should have had a Heart starter on board for him but he settled for a beer instead) he could not fish for the rest of the day. We both ended up with 12 fish ranging between 70-115cm in total, 4 were kept
and we both now have our PBs for Kingies to date. -
Hi Joco
We were one of the boats that pulled up as the wind started to blow.
We managed to get 8 kingies ranging from 4 to 8kgs and all were caught on livies. I noticed guys jigging and working hard with only undersized kingies and bonnies.
We also trolled for 3-4 hours without turning a reel.
