Ewan Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) Nice afternoon on the rock ledge down the lighthouse with a SE15 knot wind blowin up then droppen off every fifteen minutes for a few mins maken it quite pleasant. A sporadic 4-5ft southerly swell as well making for a nice marbly wash. Fished from 5pm to sunset getting three trevally about a half hour apart all on soft plastics. Amazingly different fights for each fish the first the smallest of them got its head down and just bored left really bumping away with that particular trev energy, basically just held it with a firm drag and steered it back onto the sandy middle section. 2nd fish was bigger just gnarly and violent it gobbled the plastic about ten feet in front of the ledge and just yanked my arms down as I had the drag way tight after lifting the first fish. Third one went immediately right and stripped about 15feet of braid off the TSS. Tightened drag and climbed to higher ground to try n lift it up and away from a wide plate shaped reef that I have lost fish under before. Got some line back and had the fish in a little washy area in the front. It toook off again and I was startin to think jew but then it came to the surface and I saw that it was another big slob trev. Well lifted it, rod creaked, needed scissors to get the soft out of its throat an let it go. Kept the first two. Ate one asian style just now, teriaki chicken but without the hormones. dead plastics Edited November 18, 2006 by Ewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Mate, Great Trevs. The cat looks hopeful. Are those tails on the sp's cut off or is that the way they are? I've had little to do with them, but they're all the go it seems. Takes the hassle out of bait. Cheers, Brian P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fun to fish with and can be worked fast and shallow or deep. do u know what species of trevally it is? Not sure. I'd love to know they are great fish. Think it is a Great Trevally but maybe someone can tell me specifically?... Tailor damage? Flatulance..?? Where to this arvo..??? They certainly are nutrious!!

Sharky Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Those Sunami Sps (correct me if Im wrong) are the goods. 2 seasons ago the kings were all over them like a rash when we trolled them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danielinbyron Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) the tsunamis are stronger rubber and the rubber is thicker on the belly which is better on the rox as they inevitably make contact wear through and the lead and hook implant falls out.. the sp's piuctured however seem to be storms whic are as week as p+*$.. but work fine until they come to pieces. the tsunamis are also a couple of grams heavier .. i'd be v surprised if the hook and lead implant were'nt exactly the same .
