Cheers lads

I thought I'd make a little post coz I havnt in a while! I havnt fished nearly as much as I'd like to lately because of work and everything else etc! Been down the onk a few times which resulted in a few flattys one small n one decent size! Got on the snapper once and got to go to salt creek once through winter that seen 100s of salmon and one half decent schoolie in the mix! Here's a few pics

Cheers yeah that's a blue! Haha Pauly u fish hard enough it's only a matter of time before u get one!

Haha unfortunately not caught 2 in the first night we were there but coz we planned to stay for 3 days they went back!

Thanks mate

Here's a few of the sharks I caught this season. Enjoy

Few of many traces excuse the one that's a bit chewed up lol haha I heat shrink all between the hooks cheers!

Yeah just neatens up all the joins n I notice it helps stop rust of your wire which can help get better use out of the trace and stops them detecting the wire! It does look neat as well not that that matters haha as abarbz said! It's just preference really the whole bottom between my 2 hooks is covered with heat shrink! Cheers

I use heat shrink at all my joins and always use nylon coated wire! Don't coat the hooks with anything tho! Cheers

Yeah it was hectic haha yeah nice mate!

Nice one rod we only missed em once and that was pre season and blowing 25knot se with a big swell was a rocky day haha then we didn't miss em after that! Such good fun tuna one of my favourite fish! We lost a few good ones on a blind troll! They would of both been over 30kg

Hey baitwaster the biggest I got was 22kg but my mate who's boat we fished from his biggest was 25kg! And yeah I noticed plenty of people running through the schools so we tried just finding schools to ourselves which wasn't hard because there were 100s out there! Yeah it shouldn't be to long till they start to turn up should be a good season again! Cheers guys

My reels tiagra 50w n 30w on sabre 670h n 670 or status game rods

Nice tstav they should start to turn up in numbers real soon

Yeah smashed heaps man this is only a snippet of wat we got most sessions we got between 10- 20 fish ranging 10-25kg my biggest was 22kg

Because I havnt been on strike hook in a long time I thought I'd share some pics of last years tuna I got out from cape! Cheers

Cheers rybak yeah It was my first trip up there and I learnt a lot in the 4 days we were there! And I've heard there's good snaps n mullys to be had in the area! can't beat seeing the fish travelling in schools towards u! I seen some fish leading the packs that would of been over 30 but they were just cruising not feeding! Cheers again!

Cheers lads and abarbz for sure man I'm always keen for a fish def catch up soon. Yeah that's a 7 inch popper down past the gills! He was hungry! Lol

Few pics

Hey guys haven't posted for a few years, So I thought id chuck up a short post for yas! Recently went to pt Augusta for the first time chasing kings! We went for 4 days. We fished ridiculously hard for the first 2 days without any luck. Word of mouth was No one else had any luck either! So our third day out was a really early start (like every other day) so we were on the water before sun up n had some squid in the bag early! Off to find the fish!

So we ended up doing a bit of down rigging for an hour or so without any luck! Then we seen some good signs. So I started casting my new outfit around which is a saltiga5000 with my saltiga blue-backer 77s, I was hammering a popper around for a solid half hour to an hour till I started to get sore n was talking to my mate, all of a sudden boof! A kingy nailed my popper out of the water and it had my attention! I blooped it once more n paused n the king came n inhaled it! After a short but solid fight I had my first king in the boat! She weighed 17kg n went 124cm! Nothing else for the rest of the trip but both me n my mate were stoked we got a fish!

the big blury giller was def released because it was mine lol it turned on us and bit the jetty then swam off! good stuff mate catch up soon!

cheers trav i knew u would have the answer haha ill have a better look! and make a decision on one of the low ratio high enders haha

Recently ive been thinking on getting a saltiga SATG6500H ive noticed that its a 5.7:1 ratio. ive also been looking at a few others that are a higher ratio. just wondering does the ratio have a big impact on the reel as in is a higher ratio only for jigging and stuff like that. ill be mainly using the reel for bottom bashing maybe kings and tuna! what are ur suggestions? cheers tp

hmmm would have to be my shimano tiagra 30wlrsa on a sabre 670gf blend and my shimano twinpower 1000fb on a shimano adroit 7ft 1-4kg

I have a big problem i need a good camera that needs to take good pics. But what one? i do alot of fishing at night so it needs to be immaculate at taking night pics and jus the same for day. i think a photo says a thousand words thats why i need the best for taking my beloved fishing picys i am open to all suggestions and am willing to fork out up to a fair bit of cash for my memories. SOMEONE HELP ME!! haha i just have no clue what to look for in a good camera that takes good night pics haha cheers tp
