Thanx guys!
Darryl: I was using 3 rods one had 15lb, 30lb and the other was braid. No surprises which one was dropping most of the fish! I just had no other replacement line but will have the right gear next time!
Pedro and Jimbo: I was using a mixture of live bait i.e tailor, mullet, silver biddies, yellowtail even a little red bream was thrown out in desperation! Also fresh squid (which wasn't live) and me and robbo tried butterflying some of the yakka's that died in the live bait tank! (each bait got a hit but i caught my jewie on live tailor.)
Riders: well done to rhonda! That woulda been a good reward for wat would of been a stressfull time 4 her! good on her for gettin back into it! by the way I've asked u this b4 but i've obviously forgot! what was the name of the place you stayed at?
thanx again guys
