Lol.. I'd trade a black fish for that any day...great day out

Niice.. very very niice mate.. I haven't seen 'em that big in ages

Lol.... I dont think its they are protective. Its more to the point that someone doesnt see just how much gear they have....My missus would have a fit if she knew just how much my gear cost

I did the same on my 14 ft tinnie about a year ago. Damn brilliant. Under the gunwal is the trick, nothing to dazzle you at night but plenty of light. You can buy them at any length,any number of lights. And power consumption is almost nil compared with other lighting, but best of all is the price. I bought mine online for under ten bucks for 20 led's..including postage.

That is great Ivan.. just what you need. People will be queuing up to get one me thinks. Those flatties better look out. No hiding in the shallows now bro..

Nice to see you went to the best part of NZ Trung. Those are some big fish bro. Next time Im back home I will have to check Epic out.

Very very nice......

Yep a nice way to break the drought Alan.....Lookin' forward to the next time

Just checked the weather.........my boat is getting lonely outside. Please let the weather and my days off coincide ......PLEASE

Well well well, having fun without me..that is just not on.. Those fish look awesome Basil. Dont forget I have tuesday and thursdays OFF......

Thats not luck my friend......thats fishin''

Wish i was with you Basil... but work has me by the tail just right now.. Thats a great variety bro. When are you heading to shell harbour again.. I want to get into the snapper

Fantastic Bro.... she sounds sweet. Another job well done.. I cant let my wife see your post, she will want me to do those things too... Im too busy fishing for that...lmao

Come over and get my boat bro,I cant stand to see you reduced to walkin' for a fish...lol. And if your interested the salmon are like a blanket in pitty of an arvo.. I went out the other day and was smashing 3/4kg sambo's with my flick stick. I left when I just couldnt reel 'em in anymore..

Brilliant fish, i caught 1 half that size and was pumped for a week

Another great day on the water Trung. Dont forget to leave a couple for me mate. I feel a Botany trip coming on.

Very very nice.. persistence pays off once again.

Nice going there Trung... And people wonder why we go fishin'...

Very nice fish Trung,good to see you still smashing the kings'

Beautiful fish Basil... I think we better go out again down there. Im ready when you are..

Basil....Hahahaha,i did go back to that area the next night too... Morg's ... Yeah a six pack of OP rums Jewdreamer...My wife has been a fishing widow for a while now..pml And I just didnt know why people target them, once you eat 'em there is no going back..

The boys rang me for a quick arvo flick and it was the first day in ages that I had time(curse you work)So we took off from Bayview at around 4 with an esky full of beer and high hopes. Little did we know what was about to go down.We trolled down through the moorings to stokes point and came up blank, moved on down to our flattie spot and rigged up with pillies and peeled prawn...donut.... The wind was up and we hadn't had a bite except for pickers so it was time to move , we moved around the corner and headed for flint and steel. Dave was driving the boat and pulled up before flint and steel, after much muttering of wtf theres nothing here ive fished this section heaps.Dave then proceeded to tell us this jewie story and there was a hole hereabouts (unconfirmed cos someone stole my sounder during the week) so out went the pillies and prawn again. The squid turned up and we caught one on a gang hook. He was promptly ganged and sent out, only to be smashed by a salmon which in turn engulfed Stevies pillie and swam all around our 3 lines. Getting that undone was a nightmare(thx Dave)So now we are laughing and out went the pillies, no prawns. We were talkin' about jewies and i said that any jewie would be a PB for me. Not 5 minutes later my kingie setup bent over and line started peeling off it, managed to get it out of the holder and let it run for a few sec's and struck. Im on!!.. Well this thing just took off in a straight line, heading for patonga. i can feel the big swish of the tail and I knew straight away that its a jewie and a big'un too. After a few runs I can feel it tiring so I start to haul it in. It didnt struggle too much until it saw the boat and then it went nuts. I played it safe and let the drag off a fraction and after another 5 minutes got it back to the boat. Now we need to gaff this mother, Dave had a couple of swipes at it, got the gaff entangled in my braid and i thought this is it its gonna break the braid and it will be the one that got away. The fishin' god was on our side and after a couple of swipes he gaffed it and it was in the boat. High 5s all around and this baby was mine...Now that is the way to get your first jewie. Dont know how long or what it weighs and dont care either.. You decide

Just wish they would hurry up.. Im planning a trip up there as soon as your reports get better. Is accomodation still the same price??

Yeah but you have a 10ft gate and a dog bro..........lmao

So whats the story bro... I go with you and we dont get any snapper, but you go out with your mates and brain it... vveery suspicious indeed.. Lmao
