outwide Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Gday Raiders, I have been a long time reader of this great forum and it was time i shared a report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had the chance to skipper a brand new 35ft Carribean today, headed south to look for the Southern Fad which by the way is not out yet!!!!!!! So decided to troll further Southeast to the canyons....... As we reached the canyons hooked up for a minute before the fish spat the hooks.........All was looking good, continued toward the Southern Canyons mark when the 50W starts screaming after 15 minutes a nice Yft landed.......The first for the boat, and my mate absolutley stoked..... Ended up workin that same area for half an hour more before heading N/E for a couple of mile and on again........Double hook up on 24 and 15!!!!!!! The fish on 24 was landed but the one on 15 spat the hooks just at the boat, we then trolled back to the 80 fathom mark for 0's......... Top day on the water and couple of good fish on the deck, lets hope we get some good weather......They are still there!!!!!!!!

outwide Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thank keepintabs..imma have to go out and get me a few! DAN Dan, As Tabsy mentioned they are the Gold...........There are 2 models in the 50 series the 50W and the 50WLRS the later of the two has 18kg of drag pressure so you could run 37kg line class if you wished.........
