[Mako free gaffed]

I think it went into shock and cause it was gaffed under the jaw I lifted its head up so it had no leverage.

Was easier than expected.

I've since lost 2 makos

I tried to gaff another as it swam up taking burley, but missed the shot,  the other was a big one on a poorly set up wire rig.

I think there's a lot around 

[Mako free gaffed]

Did some thing new a few weeks ago

Had a mako take half my king so I dangled the remaininder over the side of the boat and as it swam back to take another bite gaffed it.

Gaff shot was perfect,  right under the jaw

We held it on the side of the boat and gave it a few brain spikes and knocks with the priest before boating it.

Got lemons, make lemonade.

[Where to find slimes out off Broken Bay]

Thanks all, I think I kniw which wrecks you mean nth East of box

Hi All, 

Any knowledge on where to find slimeys, heaps of yakkas on the way out wide but looking for slimeys. 

Depth guide would suffice. 

Thx

[Never lose a trailer winch again]

Hey all just bought a new winch and have moved from a fixed handle to removable 

I've had one before and mates have left in on and resulting in it being lost 

Sid some research and here's the solution 

Place a circular magnet in the handle hole 

A pack of magnets from bunnings were $9 and they have plenty of grunt 

That way if someone leaves it on ut won't fall. 

Plan is still to remove

18mm magnet fits the ark winch handle

How that helps someone 

 

[1770 GBR]

Tusk fish Heads cma e back fro the tax man other than that they took the whole fish and hooked up and caused Alot of back pain 

We were fishing a red emperor spot with some other boats near us bringing up red emp heads 

Next time I'll be focussing on fishing shallower water ie outer reef 

[1770 GBR]

Just did a trip to 1770 and thought I'd give you all the low down

15hrs drive from central coast

Great boat ramp 3 lane

Plenty of parking

Bar was pretty basic once you know the channel

Grounds start at 6nm out and improve to  34nm where the atolls are,. You can stay out there either camp or moor in the lagoon

I only got 15nm out due to conditions and commitments

Heaps of fish 

More sharks than I expected

Very difficult to pull big fish out of more than 25m as the sharks are quick... 

Rating 8/10
