my metals dont come out of the bag unless there is a school of fish on the surface
im sure they would probally work if you just blind case them at some fishy looking spots
but i have never tried nor would i bother there's better lures for doing that

-
looks like its RayR
-
it looks like its one of the "yellowtail downriggers"
the rod holder in these are just plastic and they will fail
might not be on the first fish or the 2nd but sooner or later its going to snap
-
downri.bmphere is mine, straight out the back, I have yet to try it, Hopefully monday
i hope you dont plan on using that rod holder on the downrigger
accident waiting to happen
heres mine
-
i thought it was a crap fight
over way too quick
i find boxing boring these days UFC is alot more enjoyable
-
yeh i run dual downriggers and mine is setup diffrent to the above photo
i have my downriggers on swivel mounts at the back of the boat with my stainless steel rod holders about 50cm in front of the riggers
i choose to mount them at the very back of the boat as this gives them less chance of getting wrapped around my prop
never had any problems ill post some photos tonight
-
Sounds good mate, quick question though - does the $250 get you the girl as well?
haha i wish

went and bought a tachyon Helmet Camera
uses SDMC memory cards so i can stick a 32gb card in there and record 8hrs of good quality footage or 16 hrs of average footage with around 11hrs of battery life
the camera is fully waterproof to around 10mtrs so can be used for diving too
comes with a remote control and all that jazz
im going to mount the camera at the front of my boat so when we head out fising we can record the days activity's
i did this last weekend when downrigging for kings using my little digital camera and the results where great
i now have the footage on my phone and its great when sitting around doing nothing i can whip out my phone and watch footage of me battling kings
for only $250 its a good little add-on to my boat
ill post some videos once i get it out on the water
two thumbs up
-
just get a phone with a biggger screen
i can create posts take photos with my phone camera and post those pics all from the phone on the boat
works a treat
-
i must say i love my Shimano Jigwrex
they have a model in PE5,PE6,PE8
i have the s605 which is 6'0" rated to 300gm jiggs and PE5 i run 50lb on it
as Big-Banana said running 80lb on a PE8 rod if you connect to some thing big enough its going to pull you in
im not a small guy im 6"4 and i think i would even struggle holding onto the rod when fully loaded up
and in all reality i dont think your ever going to need all that power
-
and if you no the area of water your fishing in only 10mtrs deep change the Range Depth to 10mtrs
this helps keep every thing on the screen that needs to be there
-
nice work mate
a kings a king
well done
-
to get a fish arch like they show you on the box the fish needs to be sitting directly under your transducer and not moving
if the fish is swimming under your boat its only going to be under your transducer for a short peroid of time and you wont get the fish arch shape but only 1/4 arches or 1/2 arches
you might want to go pickup a book on how sounders work it will help you work out how to get the most out of your sounder
-
you sure do put the time in mate
im sure your big jew is just around the corner
i just got back from a fish
couldnt get any livies only ended up with 4 yakkers 1 was a monster
off to our spot setup the downriggers
ended up turning the 3 small yakkers into 3 kings and the big yakka didnt get touched was prob too big
good way to spend the afternoon
-
Great stuff mate. If you don't mind me asking do you mean closer to barrenjoey headland? How much water were you jigging in? Actually never jigged before but your post just got me keen to buy a few
in the general area around trawleys water is around 30mtrs
going to explore new grounds this weekend
need to repair my broken seat first tho
-
you must be made of money russ
the only lures ill throw at taylor are cheap $7 metals
have had alot of luck with them with the taylor they dont seem to mind the cheap ones
-
yeah was great fun
this was yesturday and yeh was closer to the headland
below is a snapshot of some of the footage of my first jigged kingie caught on my new setup
using shimano saragosa 18000 and shimano jigwrex s605 rod great setup these little kings are no match at all for it but i rather fish big incase the big ones jump on
mate is also hooked onto a nice little king on my spinfisher combo using a white shimano lucanus jig
im going to setup my camera better so tomorrow ill try get some more footage
all fish are around the 60cm mark
-
yeh i have a garmin and have the upgrade card for that and most of the time i have all the fancy shit turned off
too much crap on the screen
with a small screen you only want the information you need not pretty 3d diagrams
-
yeh i much rather be catching rat kings all day then catching lots of bream,flat head
98% of my catches go to my bros mrs its all about the screaming reels for me
im sick i no
-
same thing i do most weekends
try to pull a big kingie off the reefs
will it be my weekend
will soon see
-
had a RDO so me and a mate hitup a few reefs outside pittwater yesturday
was surposed to be a early start but some how i have lost one of my bungs so we had to wait till the shop opened to go and get a new bung (i now carry spares)
after stocking up on bait at west head we headed off in search of kings
couldn't find any big ones but there were alot of rats out there
was catching them on live yakkas on the downriggers,Lucanus jiggs, and 250gm jiggs
no fish for the table but a lot of fun with around 20fish caught between us all around the size in the photo below
also got some video action of the day which ill will post a little later on
was a great day on the water
after looking over my videos ive worked out i swear way too much ha so most of the videos come with a R18 rating so i wont bother posting them and too lazy to remove the audio
