Sara Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 At the moment it is at $0, as Rafinx buys most my gear, But my family are very enthusiastic about fishing, thus me getting fishing gear from them aswell, thank goodness because I had a 50cm silver flash of light hit rafs old rod and reel with 4lb line, go back into the depths with my bait and smash it off, even he couldnt stop it from running off with it.

GregL Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ouch greg!!!!! OUCH. I take it your heading out for a troll??? Yeah we have a friendly comp between the contender boats Saturday. Winning boat gets a box of Crownies from each of the other boats for most marlin. 6 boats so far! It's acually cheaper to go Marlins for 10hrs than to blast to MOnavale and back snappering! At troll speeds it's only 11lt per hour in total. We had a 4/3/2 day last Saturday and even popped 2 cherries in the process bring on the weekend!
