madasacutsnake Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 300 metres of 50lb braid A whole mullet (20cm) on 8/0 circle hook Next time The locals were using 200lb handlines but not much happening I'd been waiting to see how you got on. I don't know how they can hold onto them even with 200lb. The one I hooked up didn't even have a go. I'm not sure it was the least by fazed that I had hooked it. It just leisurely swam off and there was no way I could stop it. I doubt I would be able to snap 200lb line. I can't hold onto 30-40lb groper down here on handlines. Do they ever get them in? I must say, I have always been keen to go back for another go, but with what gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, I have always been keen to go back for another go, but with what gear? Seen some big rays landed and the occasional small shark but never seen a big groper landed. I would love to have a go at it though with some big handlines. I also doubt very much if I could ever land a 50lb Groper never mind the resident 150lb Groper that supposedly lives under the jetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
