rexaway1234 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 While the tuna still hit and miss Browns is firing when there actually is a weather windowGemmies are still the baby ones with the horses still on their wayPerfect conditions yesterday then this big pig turned up too
dogbox Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 great catch cant wait to get out there i heard reports of good numbers of blue fin caught off Ulladulla two weeks ago dogbox
Captain Spanner Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nice fish mate. Did you get that on an electric or on that overhead sitting in the side of the photo? I'm looking at a rod and reel setup for bottom bashing at browns while the others run the electric. I've used a tekota 700 out there a few times before and the level wind is convenient but harness lugs would definitely help on a decent fish.
rexaway1234 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 none of this electric business for me, I want to feel like I have actually caught/beaten the fish and achieved something no sport at all otherwise Proven on my mates boat last year also its faster. We both hooked up to big gemmies same time...he hit "up" on his el;ectric and I started cranking. My fish was on the deck and his was 100m still down in shark danger I use setup as per this pic from when we were hooked up to a similar size blue eye last year. Double handed Deck winch modified to hold a 80lb game rod out as a boom arm...can see bites clearly and gives shock loading and helps lift
Captain Spanner Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Nice work. You must have some fit arms. Thanks for the tips. I will keep that rod/winch combo idea in mind as it looks like a good one with the benefits of both rod shock absorption and winch power.
ambrose607 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 That's not a pig it's a HORSE unbelievable i don't think I've seen one like that even in a magazine or on TV
brad_tate Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 What a great fish. If that is not a horse I certainly look forward to seeing the post when the brumbies do turn up! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
frankp Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Awesome fish mate. Just out of interest can you give me some idea on how you connected the rod to your alvey, I would to do something like that to mine.
