    Don't work Friday's huh? Well done, once again! Did you down rig the livies or did you send them down with sinkers? Maybe you should start your own charter business.

    There is a boat ramp there, a small jetty and a breakwater. Looking out to the ocean there is a bommie not too far out. You can see the waves breaking over it. Never fished there land based, usually on a kayak but not recently since there has been a great white making it his home.

    You make it look sooo easy. I'll get there, one day!

    Just came across this video on YouTube. Thought it was worth sharing. Just listen to the reel scream!

    Is something that size still edible or is it full of mercury? Don't mean to go all green peace but it is pretty sad if it's only for a trophy.

    So you are basically trolling with squid jigs? I knew there was an easier way! Thanks

    Geez mate, how do you get a double hook up? Multiple rods? or multiple lures... how do you manage that? Were you solo? Lol teach me Sensei!

    Nice catch. I am new to kayak fishing, I was wondering if there are any tricks to catch them off the yak or special technique? I am wondering since the yak is so quiet, could you peddle/paddle around trolling squid lures to any success?

    Sweet. I've only ever caught a red morwong. I heard pig fish taste great. I caught a couple big sweep around 40cm and the tail looks similar, took them for tatse test and I sure won't be eating them again, yuck!

    What are the two fish on the left and are the 2 larger ones sweep?

    This is what fishermen do in Europe in the winter time because it is too damn cold to step outside.

    What bait and rig did you use if you don't mind?
  16. benm
    You did great! Which lure of the bunch did the most damage?

    I've had a few Okuma reels and they have all crapped themselves. I know I won't be buying any more. Daiwa Saltist and upwards aren't bad. Curious why no Shimano reels made the list? Stradic FJ 5000 maybe?

    Second photo looks like a small brown groper... ? Don't think that's a white ear. Entertaining read, though!

    Ended up getting the Daiwa Saltist Lever Drag 30, 2 speed ratio 6.3/3.1, 10kg drag. A little more than I was hoping to pay, oh well! Saltiga was out of my price range.

    Only looking at overhead since I don't own one and would like to learn how to use it properly. Have plenty of spin gear already. If I got a lever drag, what would you recommend? I don't want something too bulky. Scratchie already recommended the Tyrnos 50 2 Speed, but that is huge.

    Nice video footage. Would be awesome to see a marlin strike from that point of view.

    +1 peeled banana prawn, cut in half or two thirds on a decent hook (1/0+). Biggest I've caught was 53cm and pulled like a truck! Don't underestimate these fish, they are nothing like luderick. They will probably cut your line in the rocks if you fish too light.

    Great sport maybe, but why not fish the Nepean river instead? Not too far from Ingleburn. Then you could actually eat them too. Just an idea.

    Recap: primarily jigging, some bottom bashing/live baiting Need to make a decision Daiwa Saltist LW40HA, 6.4:1, 10kg drag or Daiwa Saltist LW40A, 4.9:1, 11kg drag Anyone?
  25. benm
    I was under the impression that a fast gear ratio would be better for jigging but upon further reading (looking through older posts) it seems many prefer the 4.x ratio over 6.x for jigging. The Saltist LW comes in both 4.9 and 6.1. Is there any real advantage of a faster gear ratio?
