Ok the Highway would work for me Ale :woohoo:

The flare day is a great idea & I was hoping to get a bit of help to make it happen :unsure:It would seem that the fun police will shut this idea down :angry:SAFER FOR SOMEONE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT AT SEA THAN RISK AN INCIDENT IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT

There is a safety day to bring your out of date flares & fire extinguishersTo practice flares proper use in a controlled safe environment :woohoo:Demonstrations of how to extinguish a fuel fire on a boat :blink:As you are sinking at night is not the time to read instructions on safety gear

Did the run down to Pt Mac rolled in 1.30 am got a few hours sleepTrawled for tuna got first 10kg bluefin around 9.30 120ft deepNot much happening tried out on the shelf bouncy ride out n back for no actionBottom bounced for a few driftsgot 3 nanies 2 cutlies 4 monster blue throats in 170 ft Hard day on the tuna charter boat gave up on tuna but got mako & gummiesSunday was 15-20 kn northerly so had swell coming in & chop going out a few waves stood upStayed in close 100ft around some bomies got 1 , 2 the double header to fishing our bag Turned for home & gunned it home :woohoo: ba

I have never had much luck with sabiki jigs for gar maybe if I trim them down a bit

Cheers guys the gent patern sounds good Did you have trouble with deep hooking the gar projoeor did this hook do you well, do you have any left?I find gar frustrating little creatures at times and I think the fly might be the answer

Cheers I will look it up & try to copy sizesthey jumped all over little tiny bits of fluffy bread but if I rolled it to tight wouldn't take itWater was very calm for a few days before I went outTo many peoples berley

I was having a bad day on the Mini marlinreduced then removed the berleytried every bait I could findWould get 1 gar if lucky on a different bait gut lining, tiny fillet, cockle, squid, sausage & breadFishing 6lb fluro single small hook FRUSTRATING FISHINGI want to make a garfishing fly :woohoo:Not sure where to start?Maybe a small long shank with some white wool as they loved the bread Mackeral pattern would be handy too!!!

Shark cage diving would be amazingI do worry that we are training sharks to come up to boats :blush:Not such a problem in a 30ft shark cage boat Not so great when 5m of angry fish is hanging off my prop dragging the transom under !!!

PT MAC is very reliable but a long drive

I would head to Marion bay all the charters there are top classCape Jarvis is a bit hit & miss but worth a try

Good broken bottom for the yak just made for drifting Hand line for squid and try for whitting Weather looks fantastic

Protactic has it Specialty Meats 8a West Thebarton Rd Thebarton is the place you need. They supply most adelaide yiros meat my mate is the Quality manager hundreds of lambs a daywww.specialtyfoods.com.auThe leb bread shop is near there but will sell out early

I use same ideas for my magic brewthen 90mm storm water pipe cut to fit freezer sliced down the sideThen use my tempory down pipe as a sausage case inside the pipe Only problem is I lost my pot down Cape Jarvis the new one is slightly thinerI need to do another brew as I have freezer full of tuna frames & other goodnessJust don't have the time

amazing place plenty of fish land basedso more to explore in yakhave fun

If you are going on a charter boat they will not like you using a light or meduim combo :whistle:Get 5000 size combo of the quality you can justify to yourself for christmas

Tuna are fairly clean fighters the problem with going to light is no lifting powerI have used a 2000 diawa reel with a heavy bream rod to get 4 tuna 12kg :woohoo:think was around 6 pd line & leeder didn't drop a fishHad to drive the boat to lift each fish ave 30 mins eachDid a write up a few years ago with pics but can't find it Any good snapper size lure outfit will work a treatOther rod was a diawa 3500 dh custum & that was perfect All good until a 100kg monster destroys you :pinch:

I have a great photo of a 12kg blue fin I caught a few years back 2008-9? writeup is on here somewhere :dry:Using a yo zuri mag minnow designed for snook, salmon trout n tommies took both trebles of put a single inline hookGot our boat limit of 4 tuna before mate got a hookup was using bream gear so was taking 30-45 mins to land each fishI HATE TREBLES I now do this to all my lures Only on rear ring facing up so no weed just try each lure before n after in the bath or pool or down fishingDon't upsize the single it will efect the action
