    One thing you must take with you regardless of the amount of rods/reels/lures is a GIMBAL - your going to need it!

    Do a google search on Lord Howe Island Adventure bound - there is a good atticle there that may help.

    Gimbal is packed!!!

    Thanks for the responses some good advice and useful info provided. Much appreciated. :1worthy:

    Cheers

    That is one of the worst jokes I have ever heard. Trust me I know some bad ones.

    Dave

    It's one of the worst you've read.

    Put the ham acting suit on have a go and you'll find people in stitches. (comes with a moneyback, any questions, NO guarantee)

    first update your antivirus and run it! if you need a free one download agv from grisoft!

    update and run anti spyware eg!ad-aware se! spy bot search and destroy! both free downloads!

    then get back to me! you probably could do with some other rutine maintenance steps also. but start with those then we progress!

    Absolutely, adaware and spybot, get a firewall inplace as well if you aren't using one, many better freebies out there than the microsoft firewall (at least use it in the meantime if you are not using any firewall).

    Mick and Paddy were standing on the top of a cliff. Mick has two budgies in each hand and Paddy a parrot and a 45. pistol.

    Mick says "Right, my go first!!"

    He jumps off the cliff and starts flappin his arms away with the budgies in each hand like he's trying to fly. Smashes into the ocean below, he drags himself swimmin around the headland onto a beach, gaspin and chokin near to bein drown.

    Paddy goes "I'm up!!".

    He jumps off the cliff and on the way down starts shootin the parrot in the head with the 45.

    BANG! BANG! BANG!..................................... SPLASSSHH!

    He to drags himself swimmin around the headland onto a beach, gaspin and chokin near to bein drown.

    Mick looks at Paddy and says "I don't think much of budgiejumpin".

    Paddy looks at Mick and says "And I don't think much of parrotchuting as well"

    (best told after a few :beersmile: with a crap Irish accent, apologies to any Irish, but it's a good craik)

    gday Evil,

    I'll try to keep it short because you could write a book on the place.

    Firstly there are huge restrictions on baggage weight so choose your tackle carefully, firstly i wouldn't take sinkers or large metal jigs because of the weight, both can be purchased on the island and if your going on the boats they all have pretty good gear, i know the Belle Chase charter has great jigging gear for people to use. Ideally you want to take a 6lb outfit for catching Garfish (the number one bait over there). Then an 8-10kg outfit for catching monster silver trevally (up to 10kg) and spangled emporer, small kings and huge drummer. If you have one take a 24kg LBG outfit, because if the weather is bad you will not get out on a boat but there is almost always a landbased spot to try. Failing this outfit take a 100-200lb handline and use that off the stones.

    When and Where.

    Depends on where the weather is coming from but this should keep you covered. The southern end of the lagoon holds big kings, they hunt along the shoreline chasing garfish around the lowtide, get down a few hours before the low tide set a light bread and fishoil berley trail to try and get Garfish, get one and fish it live , in the meantime try and keep garfish around by berleying, if they hang around the kings will find you. Also fishing on dusk with the 8kg rod using small fish strips will get you spangleds and trevally, dont fish big dead baits because you will only get sharks! Also you can use the 8kg spin outfit with 9 inch sluggos to chase the lagoon kings, however they come through the shallow water hard and fst so you only get one shot at them.

    On the other side of the island there are LBG ledges which should only be fished if its good conditions, off these ledges anything live is good bait, Garfish are number one and using dead baits on a spin rod can be awesome fun. Throwing 85g raiders and poppers works well also. There is a fish called a blue herring or knife fish that you can catch off the rocks that make great bait for xos kings. Bread and fish berley and a light spin outfit to catch these fish. When you berley around the rocks you will always see heaps of big drummer which ar alot of fun, 8kg spin gear straight to a hook and a piece of floating bread crust will get you hooked up.

    Any q's just pm me

    GOOD LUCK

    Cheers fisherman_dan much appreciated. No 24kg LBG gear but will take a Daiwa 30SLD and a 15kg Crystal Blue Powerstick.

    Will post the gear tomorrow for suggestions.

    Cheers

    My flight and accomodation are booked, will be leaving the 23rd of September for a week of fishing :yahoo: . The :wife: thinks it's a holiday :biggrin2: . Will be going out a couple of days jigging for kings but also want to do a lot from the shore.

    Alright to the important stuff - any tips on what, where and when at Lord Howe would be appreciated. Tony from Fishfinder has given me the head's up for gear and sorted me out tackle wise, well mostly I'm sure to stock up a bit more via Matraville. (Thanks Tone ;) you're a champ.)

    If anybody's been, has some tips, warnings etc please let me know, feel free to give advice about anything, jigging, beachfishing, anything.

    Cheers

    PS looking forward to the Christmas :drunk:

    Unfortunately ran into some mates last night and had to drink :beersmile::beersmile::beersmile: , so pictures didn't get taken until this morning. Bit of a rush job so excuse the quality.

    Top photo Jig stick on top and the King Mack underneath.

    Bottom photo a pic of the foregrip on the King Mack, magic feel.

    New Rods From Fishfinder

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted · Edited by Evil

    Am looking to head to Lord Howe in October (fingers crossed otherwise I'll still go somewhere to use the gear) and needed some advice on what to take. Had a couple of discussions with Tony and settled on a T-Curve King Mack 7' spinning rod - line 8-12 kg - lure 20-50 gm, and a T-Curve 400 Deep Jig Spin 5'8" - line 37kg - lure/jig 300-500gm.

    Will be taking the T-Curves, a Crystal Blue Powertip with Abu7000LD, two Spheros', an Okuma Eclipse Baitrunner in 4000 size and another lighter spin rod/reel combo. The :wife: doesn't fish so hopefully can get away with a few more bits and pieces.

    Tony you're a legend :thumbup::thumbup: , thanks for the help and the great deal. If anyone needs a bit of advice for anything fishing related give Tony a call at Fishfinder can't recommend them enough.

    Will post pictures this evening.

    Cheers
