Nice fish mate , that's one to remember !

[My best ever Dollie]

Well done mate , great solo effort could imagine the smile when that one hit the deck !

[First kingy for the season]

Was quiet with only 3 boats there when I arrived , first drop foul hooked a jacket so moved to Eastern edge of reef and to the south away from the jackets , sounded a couple good marks sitting over small hump in reef , was hard to get drift right with breeze and current and water depth to put jig on target after about half dozen or so drifts got a good bump on the jig , as boat was over mark that got me excited and just keep working that gps track , 10 or so passes later hooked up was stoked to land it , fishing solo bit interesting trying to net it , the last king I jigged there I lost to a Mako then teased and filmed him on gopro uploaded to YouTube ( magical mako ) so was praying all the way up from 130 mtrs please don't get bloody sharked ! Awsome sport fish , great eating and good to have a plan that worked

[First kingy for the season]

Caught this king jigging 12 mile reef on Monday , hard work and persistence finally paid off , great battle on 10 kg Outfit, you gotta love kings

Thanks for your help Dave , looks like they are an improvement over 258 doing some research online .

Happy fishing Paul

Hi Croydon ,

Thanks for your reply . I also a Barchusher which my tm 258 is mounted on , the set up with the 585 has been good , but I would be lucky to pick up individual fish at 500 mtrs , even with perfect conditions I haven't been able to achieve that sort of definition so that sounds really interesting . Looking at the airmar stats for the tm 260 I believe it's 25 times more sensitive .

What sort of maximum depth have you been able to get out of it ? Read one forum where a bloke said he could read bottom in 800 mtrs under ideal conditions ?

Plan on getting stuck into deep dropping this winter and have invested in a Miya Epoch ( pleased to retire the old Alvey I can tell you)

have been given some marks that are as deep as 700 mts in one case , so would be interested in your thoughts of the capabilities of your setup at those extreme depths

Cheers ,thanks again

Hi guys , was wondering if any of you are running an airmar 260 broad band transducer on a 585 , am looking at upgrading from a 258 transducer to a 260 for deep dropping , curious to know if the claims about improved sensitivity , bottom definition and separation and improved dearth capabilities are true .?

If any one has made this upgrade or has a 260 on a 585 would appreciate feedback , Thanks
