PRED-ATOR Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi Raiders, Fishingnoob (Matt) and I hit up the beach on friday to get him onto his first fish. We set up a great paternoster rig which mat hooked a plastic on the top hook and bait on the bottom. He got heaps of hits from tailor and salmon, one hook up but unfortunately dropped the fish. He keeps blaming his teacher lol. I was fishing 2 rods, both new. Bought a samaki allure 10' and a shimano aero wave 12'. Both great rods, the allure is so light. I matched that to a daiwa opus bull 6000 and 20lb power pro. I had the 12' aero wave matched to a daiwa saltist 6500. I bought some lighter braid for it but still waiting for it to arrive (had the reel originally spooled for jigging). We also picked up some of those LED Lenser head lamps. OMG they are so bright. I was afraid if i turned it all the way up, i would shoot red lasers in a cyclopse like fashion. Anyway turn of the tide, i was fishing squid on circle hooks and caught a little jewy. Not the biggest jew i caight but i have never caught one off the beach so was stoked! Also caught a salmon and a shovel nose shark, never caught one of these either they foght just like a ray. Pics arent anything special, enjoy the read. Great company Matt, we will get you that fish! Cheers, Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRED-ATOR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks guys! Yeh she definately wasnt a monster but i reckon its a good start in figuring them out odd the beach. I have caught heaps but not off the beach or on a lure. Now only to catch one off a lure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingnoob Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think stan does something to my bait before I put it on my hook. Seriously fishing 15 metres apart and I can't get a thing. The soft plastic was working though I was very surprised. Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRED-ATOR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks everyone : ) Matt, i reckon the fish must not like the odours coming off your hands when putting the bait on. I must say, i have to agree with the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
