hahaha! nice scarfe man... as always a good watch, well done jamsey boy

i know guys up there that use them for marlin.there's all sorts of mackeral, tuna, trevally. give you the hot tip if you are gunna trawl around some of the reef's, get yourself a purple yozuri hydro magnum(or two) and get the guy at the tackleshop to show you how to do a haywire twist. there's a nice little reef worth a look called "pixie"I'm lucky enough that my folks live part of the year there and i can go whenever i like.just remember BIG hooks most fish have big mouths up there.

good concept, but they look like shit...

I tend to agree with you lot, but we night not have to worry for too much longer...http://www.deepastronomy.com/apophis-asteroid-could-hit-earth.html

Nice size... shame its a "cook it with the brick recipe" after catching thousands of e'm.. the big ones go back in the drink.

what boat you on buddy?

mate of mine has a cracker pic of a water spout from the middle of our gulf earlier in the year.

we left on wednesday arvo and returned on sat arvo, most of the tuna were caught on the thursday, 87 in total. we could have easily caught 300 to 400 if we hit the tuna the whole time.

yeah generally troll, sometimes a hooked tuna will have mates so you can feed down a bait or lob out a lure of sorts.

exactly right. if you had say 6 blokes with $50 - $100 lures and one of ya has braid, you all hook up and the one with braid runs across everyone else with any tension on there line.. well it just cuts them all off. Makes for an angry crew..

dude i used 15kg line for the first few and then downgraded to 8kg line, i only use mono, braid can be frowned apon by some operaters. i think what your taking is overkill. i took 14 combo's and used every one of them. the tuna are up to 19kg's at a push at the moment. so i reccomend the 8 kg outfit. we just got back and caught over 140 for the trip.Have fun! plenty around. check out my other post in recent posts "absolute charters"

heres a pic loaded up.

Its the funny thing about mullies, you might know the spots and time of year etc.. but i have found there still illusive and you might have to put in weeks of work to finally nail one.So best of luck.Last year i spent almost a month on the same spot only to be blown away countless times and land a half doz legal ones.

cheers all. it was well worth the wait and enduring the weather on the weekend. I really rate the diablo reel, bang for ya buck! the first hookup had me worried what i had bought, the drag was all jerky like a cheap k mart reel, tho the when i hooked this one it had sorted its self out.Spoke to my mate at sport fishing scene, he said they need to bed in.. too true. stoked with my purchase. the rod is a rapala braid concept, only rated to 50lb, but it had no drama's with the huge ray. i'll see if adam wants to upload the pic of the rod loaded up.me thinks the sampsons off rocky are going to be in serious trouble.Haha the ray looks photogenic, i say i have to agree. i always look like some sort of sea urchin and not very photogenic..

Oh yeah go and get your live bait either near the Negerin or at the ici wharf, plenty of small tommies there. hint hint.. if your still stuck and not getting any joy pm me and i may let on a bit more.

you have missed the best time. go and fish near the sugar wharf... there i said it!!! all you need to work out now is the best time of year. you'll have to spend a few weeks there tho. live baits one on the bottom and one under a float. now you almost have everything you need. patience being the big factor.the reason you all now know is i no longer care.... have fun! just let e'm go afterwards, after all you wouldn't eat a peice of crap would you, similar to fish that live in that part of the river, full of toxins and heavy metals.

nope i'll have to send e'm to Aaron first... dunno what i'm doing wrong.. i resized em to less than 100 kb's and still no joy..

nope cant post the pics...

having issues posting pics!!

Got out a couple of times this weekend for a bit of exercise before the rocky and greenly trip later on this month. Sat was tough, hooked up to about 15 eagles but only managed to tag and release 4.Yesterday was a bit of a different story, tho we still managed to loose quite a few to the rocks, we did however tag and release another 4 of far greater size.1onmepillie got the phone call fromn the Mrs "you need to pick up the boys at 4:30.. No problems it was just after 3.. When i got a blistering run on 37kg line class (testing the new diablo reel) This ray didn't surface like any of the others, so we had no idea of the size, all i knew was it was bloody weighty.The first run took around 100m of line with about 15kg's of drag dialed up on the diablo, it almost ripped me out of the boat a couple of times. Got this thing back to the boat and all he wanted to do was hang around near the bottom.. unable to move this thing for 15- 20 mins, the body was getting sore. Untill it decided to sruface.. Oh my F'ing god!! have a look at that!!All in all the battle took 40 mins before adam somehow dragged it over the side (one armed too!) it measured 161cm across the wings it's head was about a foot heigh off the deck. I put a tag in him and then threaded the rope through his ears so we could weigh him. my scales maxxed out at 55 kg's with less than half of the beast off the deck. Adam also had a go at lifting the beast. we both have caught a lot of these but never of this magnitude. We are estimating that it would have weighed 80 + kg's.We rang the club weight recorder, who unfortunatly didn't have the scales to be able to properly weigh it. Spewing it would have been an australian record!!! but at the time we wern't to know.

i got some really nice ones at pacific marine that mount onto a rail, there staino and fully adjustable prior to mounting. might be worth a look.

dude just get a set of berkley scales.. cheap for starters.. few comps ago me and ryan were upgrading 10 and 15 grams at a time. we just used a plastic bag to put the fish in..just remember ya gotta catch 5 of the bastards first
