thanks scratchie the fishin was way hard over the wknd..it seems everything that swims had lockjaw on Saturday with that sw wind blowin .hopefully il get a shot at broughton in the next two weeks..cant wait..then I have to decide between cod and big reddies..lifes a bitch...bahahaha
ended up fishing lake mac and outside Swansea...hard going all weekend...a couple of salmon fri arvo a dozen bream up to 41cm..two flathead 60cm and 72 cm..1 small reddie and two mullet..not a lot for a whole weeknd on the water..i did 71nm on gps..I won our local comp but it was a very tiring weeknd in the boat...oh well cant catch them on the lounge....rick
our two biggest from up here are 58 and 63..ive caught tailor on the rocks locally that went18lb don't have a length but have seen them at coffs 20lb plus
havnt tried fg yet ..I use Albright 12 turns down then 4 back up over top never had failure..leader length depends on what and where you are fishing for..
we got a dozen squid sun arvo drifting in front of murrays jetty ..small yamashitas are the go..flatties are just startin to move shallower ..enjoy your dinner date lol
we fish out of my mates pride Bahia mar they are 20 ft but are one of the best handling and riding I have ever fished out of we run a 160hp Volvo diesel duoprop and its fuel efficient and has heaps of grunt..another to lookout for is the Bertram 23 with diesel...I wouldn't touch petrol in this size unless they are fourstroke outboards..
4 and 5 inch soft plastics in natural colours or nuclear chicken squid viscious are the go on flatties ..we got fish up to 75 last weekend and lost a 95 cm beside the boat...rick
depends on your bait size but iwould use 200/250 lb trace with multi strand at the front joined by ball bearing swivel crimped with thimbles....burley bags and assorted add ons are a recipe for tangles and bustoffs ...kiss..keep it simple stu...learn how to cut baits open and hide the hooks then sew back together with just the points exposed...most guys working of the beach don't use floats...good luck
yep ..sold it now bought it back got my gps back with all marks still in it..fixed tilt trim..freed up steering..clean down upper deck with soap and bleach..general tidy up..buying second hand trailer in good nick..then its game on...yyeeehhaaaa.....rick
definitely a barracouta ..gemmies are a lot heavier build as you can see from the foto...you normally wont catch gemmies in less than 350 mtrs of water
just picked up my old seafarer vsea..still in good solid cond..trailer is rusted out but have organized another trailer in a weeks time..cant wait to get it out on the water...look out fish here I come...hopefully il have some new fotos soon to post.....
