Fellas j-braid is the starting point.. 8 strand braid only gets better. For a big step up in quality but not in price try duel hardcore x8 and for a massive step up in quality and price try any of the varivas max power series, best braids ever made..

Try and change angles on the fish move your rod to the other side and try and turn it, as opposed to beating it by brute force

You're probably right - I'm yet to really build a decent fly catalogue. The deer hair I'm using is a bit on the stiff side and the flies lack action so I'll invest in something softer. BMS patterns look good in the water so they're on the to-try list as well
It'll come down to confidence as well, if you're not confident in the lure/fly, you won't fish it as well as something you know has caught you fish

Out of interest mate what rod?

Is it cheating if I use a lightly weighted plastic on the fly rod?
To be honest I think a fly makes a better lure than a plastic, you'd be disadvantaging yourself with a plastic. The fly has got all the hair which looks like prawn feelers and legs

Will the reports stay around ? Any way to view them after the site closes?

Those are bait fish, right ? Is there salmon schooling them up?

I think they're salmon, they just don't have something to put them to scale in the picture

Did you catch anything?

Just realised this was 6 years old...

wow great capture, we pulled a few striped tuna out of bait bustups this morning. its the first time iv seen them inside the harbour. are they common inside the heads?
Are you sure they werent frigate mackerel or mac tuna? Theres tonnes of those in the harbour at the moment. Look very similar but not as chunky.

Hey Nick,
Ive got a mate with a big 3 piece gaff that I can borrow if I need to. He hardly ever uses it.
Ive watched a few youtube vids of guys using them to catch kingies off the rocks and they seemed to hold up fairly well. Hard to tell from videos though, seems as though everyone's trying to sell you something on there.
What reel would you suggest to match with the lateo?
Cheers mate
I matched it with a Daiwa Morethan 3012H. It did a good job, however try balancing your reels on a rod in a shop to see what fits best. Neither a daiwa 3000 nor the rod will be able to take on big kings however.
-
How would you go about landing fish? The lateo would be great for target species with metals and hardbodies but the tip is quite light so it could snap if you tried to drag a 2kg + fish up the rocks
-
At equal size a luderick is going to pull harder, but on light drags the small tunas will swim a lot faster than a luderick ever could. Fishing for them with light leaders and bream gear is great fun..
-
The bio master is the same as the sustain fg (same body gears etc) with a difference in bearing count. Pretty tough but certainly not super heavy duty. I'd use for plastics and topwater lures but not really jigging.

Hi guys,
I was wondering about fishing in Fiji, Im going in June which seems like the 'off season' for fishing there.
I'm staying on Denarau Island, where as far as I know I can't fish land based because of all the resorts.
Is there anywhere around there worth fishing land based (perhaps for trevallys) near Denarau? Or have you guys tried charters around there in June that are worthwhile (would prefer to cast at GTs or tunas rather than just troll for gamefish which seems to be the norm).
Cheers fellas

Which system was this in mate? First bonny report I've seen this year

Quick question... any size to the tailor?
The Rev
maxed out at 50 cm maybe? Really frustrating because of constant bite offs...

don't know if i could ever again mr cosby

Tonnes upon tonnes of tailor in the harbour at the moment. Any bust up we went to was inevitably tailor, although there looked to be salmon mixed in.
Where the kingies at?
-
Its catching bonito, salmon and tailor on fly from a rock ledge. Looks cool but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do.

If you're after fly stuff I'm thinking its too early in the season.
Are you thinking this style of fishing? Thats south coast, but theres no reason it wouldn't work up north or even on the eastern suburbs rock ledges?
-
In reality its for kingfish but salmon by catch
-
Hi there, I have no secret spot and fish all over the place, these salmon were all taken from the eastern suburbs. Yup, get that shore jigging outfit quick!
Stella 6000 or 8000 that is the question...

Hey guys,
After a bit of help for this one. I have a small reel part I want to anodise black, its now silver. It's only the size of a 10 c coin - do you know anyone who could give me a hand?
Would probably be best (cheapest) if it was just chucked in with another batch.
Cheers!!
