New Daiwa Steez 2500? Still really lightweight but with more line capacity than a 1000 sized reel.

Can you catch them metro?

@southie- great choice mate that combo sounds amazing@grazz64-ripper tuna

. Next target is a decent Sambo' date=' pound for pound Sambo's are the hardest pulling fish ive ever been attached to and would be a worthy advisory for the Certate Custom 2500.[/quote']Totally agree there mate. They sure are solid fish

Thanks guys. I am thinking that I'll go for 6/0 gamakatsu circles at the moment.

What poundage line? I have 35lb mono but can easily get more line if it will help.

Bad luck Rickster. So you reckon go with circles? How do you present your livies with circles? Through the nose or...

Live baits eg. shitties, STs and mullet. Probably in West Lakes or the Onk.

Twitch twitch, orientalfish and I are thinking of getting into some mully fishing. We have a bit of knowledge on how to go about things but are currently in the process of buying gear. Just wondering whether people have a specific rig set up for live baits which work well. I was thinking maybe the use of circle hooks? I was on motackle.com the other day and saw gamakatsu nautilus 6/0s? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Couldn't resist posting this. Caught on a number 4 long shank whiting hook' date=' this catch came after lots of frustrated calls of "not being able to catch these .....". NB Managed to catch this through the mouth...[attachment=7288']catchoftheday21Oct.jpg[/attachment]

Congratulations mate! You would be over the moon

They say that they are going to kill the same shark that did this?! Bull :c they will just see a great white and kill it anyway I reckon. How on earth would they go about finding this shark when it could be ages away from the area by now?

80 lb

Awesome footage JW. Looks soooo cool.

Just out of curiosity. Which baitcaster did you buy?

A seagull while casting' date='I said to my mate, I've caught something and it hasn't hit the water yet. :dry: [/quote']Yeah my grandfather did that off Port Hughes once too.

How does the dodge affect the Pat

Well as the Pat isn't affected by tide, it probably wouldn't influence the water level too much. However, the gates tend to be opened at each high/low tide during the day to let fresh sea water flow in so it may disrupt the fish's normal feeding habits. The airport end would still be fine because the bridge constructors have a big wall running through the middle of the river part anyway.

Was winding in a garfish but a squid then ate the gar and I caught the squid on little size 12 hooks!

Puffer fish on soft plastic

Well I guess you have to decide whether you are going to use your own rods or the charter's rods and reels. Personally, I would take maybe my best one or two rods and reels and if that wasn't enough, I would use the boat's rods if need be. Presuming you have 1 piece game rods that you want to take, you will probably have to take them on the plane in a rod tube. (They can be bought for about $20-$30).The reels can normally be fit into your bags (hand luggage or not).In terms of lures, well I think the charter will probably know which lures and baits work best so I wouldn't really bother taking any over there. Other from that, I wish you the best of luck for your trip.

the hooks never seem to get snagged up either.

I guess that is one of the bonuses of using circle hooks. Because of their natural shape, the actual pointy bit of the hook points towards the shank. This means that if it is pulled along the bottom, it will rarely snag up.

Will have a look projoe.

I guess if wanted to you could always just go to a tackle shop and see for yourself whether they are 1 or 2 piece. Are you buying it on the net?

Nice work mate.

That song's actually quite catchy. Got it stuck in my head now. :cheer:
