there great but they have there problems
jackets love to eat the skirts off them
they can be replaced at around $5-6 a pop
have caught a few kings off the white one
mate has caught lots of leather jackets using them
best fished with a slow retrieve or just leave them in the rod holder and let the boat do the work
the red is supposed to be dynamite on snapper im yet to catch one tho
not that i ever target snapper tho
-

cant even catch the things offshore at the moment

there have done tests on sharks regarding blood in the water
the sharks responded best to prawn blood and other fish blood
human and other mammal's got a response but nothing compared to the animals shark actually feed on

has happened to me in the past
just call up your dealer they will have spairs
there is a number on the ignition that corresponds to a key
there are only a few diffrent keys that start up the mercs
they should carry spares

Hi guys just wondering where i can find some yakkas this time of year cos each time i try balmoral and other known spots all i get is small sweep and the like.....have no toubles in summer and have caught thousands in my life but where are they when the water is cold? Does anyone else have success in the harbour at this time of year?....cheers for any help.....Paul
try some of the wrecks
they should still be at the usual spots just deeper

Little Hooker which JM rod i have a few now

ha -

cheers for the link

rod tubes are best
but ive had all my rods shipped in PVC pipe and never had a problem
they have come from thailand,states,new zealand,japan
and never had a problem
alot cheaper then a rod tube you will prob only use a few times
feel free to courier them to my place ill take good care of them
-
boat is fine
it all comes down to the skipper
take some one out with you who has been out a bit
and always check the weather forecasts
dont risk any thing
-
also depends on what knot you tie to connect your main line to the leader
some of the larger knots can cause bubble trails and the jackets attack them
and if you have been eating food as you fish the oils from the food get onto your hands and then onto your line
and the jacktets attack your line
pesky little thing hopefully they stay away from my lines this weekend
-
squid are in fact colour blind
but they do see in shades of grey so im sure they can still see the line
sure they cant tell what colour it is but they can still see it
hence the reason squid leader is pink as its one of the first colours to vanish under water
-
as slinky has said no sounder is going to tell you what is a king and what is a snapper
you have to interpret the data on the screen and make your own decision to what species it is
im currently in the process of upgrading my sounder it was either going to be a furuno 620/585 or a Lowrance hds 7,8,10
i went with the lowrance hds10 as its got a massive screen and a chart plotter and also gives me the option to install side/down scan at a later time
they work great in deep water too fishing the bottom at browns is possible using the standard transducer no need to shell out for a big 1k tranny
-
jig rods are really for boats
there no good for throwing lures as they are too short
you could possibly use one of the lighter rated rods that are slightly longer
but they are not made to throw lures just made to work vertical
i would go with a nice spin rod ill sure some one will have some good advise on what size to go as i dont fish off the rocks
-
top work as usual john
whats up with the king in the first photo
is that a healed shark bite or did it get banged up during the fight
and what outfit is that in the background looks fancy
cheers
-
is it too late to put in a shopping order
ill take one of each
-
hmmm i have never caught a hairtail very tempting
ill see if i can arrange a crew and get back to you
-
as said its really personal preference and what you get use to using
ive tried both hi and low speed reels
and i find low speed being the best for jigging
i find with hi speed reels i cant get the right action out of the jig
the way i jig is that in the time it takes me to do a complete crank of the reel i have the rod tip go down and back up
this allows the jig to drop down then spring back up with the motion of the rod
and the reel takes up the slack as the jig comes back up
using a hispeed i cant achieve this so i dont use them
a great dvd to get for helping with all things jigging is called "Heavy Metal at the Ranfurly"
it goes thru every thing and is very informative
-
It went 75cm, it looks bigger in the photo as the cameraman aka fishbones got Andrew to position the fish at its best camera angle using his camera phone.
Regards Kit
ps it was sashimied for dinner that day
haha trust me i no all the tricks to making fish look bigger on camera
the fingers around the tail are a dead give away for size tho
i need to get out there

what gear were u using and what size jigs and weights
if your marking fish and you are pretty sure they are kings but they are not reacting to your jigs
try changing jigs to a diffrent colour and size
change your jigging action change your jigging speed
best way to sound out kings is to first be in a area that kings are likely to be in
and then sound out bait if the bait is balled up chances are there are kings in the area feeding on them
you really need to learn how to read your sounder so you can tell the difference between schools of bait fish and schools of jackets and schools of kings the only real way to learn how to do that is spend the time on the water or fish with some one with the same sounder
