Quite a while back, i was handlining a wharf in the parra river with small baits for bream, hookin up something formidable and gettin cutoff,got done quite a few times, to my amazement a mate at a later date hooked and landed a hairtail at the same possie,i was quite astonished as to movements of a such a great adversary, going to give it a go in august, as i wll be away travelling europe throughout july, will keep u raiders posted........

well done, u cracked the code big guy............

he may have sold it to some bait supplier?????????? a true luderic fisho would not do this.

Well done Matt and Dad, 34% capacity wow, has not been at theses levels for quite a while.

our fishin trip out of half moon bay resulted in 58 snapper ranging from legal to 54cm. the just legals were going back in quick succession.we had bagged out within 4 hrs what a top spot.baits used squid and pillies. the new t curve rod got a thorough workout, also snared a few kingies......nz is heaven. thinkin about relocating over there in the next year or two. heading back over there later in the year chasin black snapper ie (luderick) i hear they absolutely brain em over there,also cant wait to hit the west coast, when the big knobbies come into shallow water...........im pumped just to add the weather wasnt the best, could only get out once, as i was only fishin weekends as my boat was only available at this time, relos mates boat. no photos as i had forgotten to put batts in my digi sorry guys
