hey dpac. I gotta agree with the comment from Jigholio. Try using twice the rod length of a decent shock leader tied to your briad. Braid doesnt stretch much (at all!!!) so if your fish decides to slack your line then turn and run you will have the full force on your braid (and yes, your rod too) and it'll ping you! Also, mono leader will be more abrasion resistant to various obstacles (teeth rocks etc etc) than braid. Try at least 1 1/2 times the breaking strain of your mainline (well it works for me and ive lost fish b4 thru this). Good luck mate and let us know how you go. ezza

hey mate, am almost a local (20kms away) and a lbg convert. went to the south side off the rocks (below litehouse) about 4 weeks ago. water looked unreal but no luck....was just after bream/tailor and /or drummer. oh well. No info about outside but beaches north towards Diamond Head were good for bream and tailor (up to 8lb!). Beach access is good or otherwise Crowdy Bay national park road from Crowdy to headland is good at the moment. If i had a boat id smash them i reckon....haha! good luck.

still keeping an eye out mate. hope it turns up and those who are responsible are dealt with severely!!!!!!!
