grandad Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Silver Biddies can be caught at the St George motorboat club. Anywhere near the moored boats. Grandad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tide'n'knots Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 well done mate and congrats on putting in the hours for a great reward. just a quick question - you mentioned that 3 ran about 60 metres and dropped the bait - by that I am guessing that you fish with a soft drag setting or free spool? everyone has their own methods and 1 way isnt the be all and end all but I have found over the years that by setting the drag where I would normally fight the fish I very seldom miss a hook up. when they are running -Hitem! and hang on just a thought. again congrats on a top fish pete.

Yea had 2 runs that spat it out. I wouldn't say soft i usually adjust to medium on live taylor or biddys. Iv noticed the big ones take a nice run first then stop for 5 secs swallow then run thats when i usually hold on. So i said tonight ill try tight drag settings like u said n never missed one . Do you fish large whole live squid on tight drag? thanx champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
