2hours to put the car on the boat... Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Took my pathfinder to hobart last xmas...cost around $180 for the car...very cheap...cost $1600 for a cabin for 4 round trip...very expensive!!! You can get a seat for free if you dont mind sitting for about 9hrs...so fly to tas then drive the car from melbourne to sydney...you must prebook the car before you go...spots very limited...and you need alot of patience because it takes about 2hrs to boat the boat...

Hill60 28/09/16 Decided to take the family for a drive to port kembla. Got to hill60 and the carpark was full. Alot of workers doing some type of construction. Saw half a dozen fishos so decided to check it out. Anyway started fishing around 1pm with 2 rods using pillys and squid. Swell was around 1.5m so plenty of water on the ledge. A huge wave came and wet all my gear. Safest spot was at the point so me and my eldest son fished that spot. Keep losing the bait to pickers so started using small hooks. Landed 3 black drummer and kept 1 for the wife. Run out of pillys so started using prawns and chicken. Keep losing the bait to puckers so decided to pack up around 3pm. The swell was getting bigger too. Around 2m. Was hoping for a kingy or even a salmon but no joy. Plenty of birds near the islands. Saw 3 boats following the birds but didnt see anyone catching. Planning to go back next week after the long weekend. Going to nelson bay this long weekend and will be fishing the marina breakwall the beaches. Have a safe weekend everyone.

I use whole pillys on ganged hooks mostly Also use tailor for live bait or a slab of salmon Havent had much success on squid off the beach Caught most fish on whole pillys off the beach using a big ball or star sinker Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

I use 12ft rod with my penn 760 for bait targeting the big fish using 50lb main 50lb trace I use my penn 560 with 10ft for lures and small fish using 20lb main 20/30lb trace Usually catch salmon tailor flathead off the beach Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Whole pilly on ganged or 2 hook with either running ball sinker or star sinker. Best times early morning or late afternoon. Try newport beach. Goodluck Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

I think you need 2 different rods1 for the boat ie jigging/trolling 5ft-6ft rod 1 for the rocks ie 9ft to 12ft rod Penn ssv is one of the best reels around for under $200 Check out the penn spinfisher v rods cost less than $100 for your boat rod and penn prevail cost less than $200 for your rocks rod Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Hi all Decided to go to hobart and try my luck on catching my 1st bluefin. Booked a charter off eagle hawk neck with my mate paul. The charter was cancelled yesterday due to bad weather but luckily today the weather got better. Got to the ramp around 7am and on the water around 730am. Headed straight to tasman island and started trolling skirts and minnows. Got our 1st strike after 15mins but the hook came off. Our 2nd strike came after almost 1hr and landed our 1st bluefin. High fives all round. We got a double hookup not long after and landed both. With only 1 more to reach our bag limit, it was my turn on the rod. We got another double hook up and landed both. I ended up releasing my one after a couple of pics. We decided to target kingys. Within 10mins of putting out the new lures we landed our 1st kingy and was released. We got another one not long after and decided to keep the 2nd one. Didnt get any more kingys after that so we decided to try and catch more bluefin for fun and hoping to catch our 1st albacore. Got our next bluefin after 30mins but before we can land it a seal grabbed the bluefin. Took around 10mins to get our lure back. Got a triple hook up but only managed to land 2. The 3rd one was taken by the seals again. We didnt get anymore hook ups after that. Back at the marina around 3pm. Total for the day was bluefin 7 landed 2 lost to the seals 1 hook pulled. 2 kingys. Best day ever. Average weight of the bluefin was 15kg. Finally got to tick off bluefin on my list. Next on the list will be spanish mack or wahoo. Probably need to go north to catch it.
