Guest Jocool Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 WOOHOO!!! Love Salmon on light gear! Maybe I can tussle with some this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken A Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Bonito are top sport on light gear especially when the big fellas are about. A 4kg Bonito on 3kg gear will keep you amused for a while Good to hear of some decent tailor about the place as well instead of the usual little choppers Sounds like you had a great day mate.

Tommo Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 yeah it is fun i light gear, but today i lost something that was rather large. hook failure as in they didnt bite good enought. but i had just landed a 57cm kingie, and this thing waas running twice as fast and high and had alot of wieght i pegged it for a strippy or some kind of tune, would have been good to get a look at it oh yeah also caught another hull of bonnies largest would have been around 3 3.5kg's i'm guessing left scales at home 1 kingie 1 cobia and a crap load of tailor thou they wernt on the surface at all today and if they did show they quickly sank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
