Can't help you much with land based down there. I only chase gummies offshore. I use 20-30lb braid and 60lb leader. Can use lighter but chances offshore of something bigger coming along I light to go a bit heavier. I use 6/0 hooks. My favourite hook is a mutsu circle. But anything circle is the go i...

Should of really been 8 if there weren't 2 seals hanging off my bowrail! When they are on the chew out there can't get enough baits in the water sometimes.

Good stuff bm. Nice catch. Like the pic of the cod.

I was stuck working at lakes all day looking at the water getting depressed I wasn't out there. I've been keen to try out my new sounder. So knocked off early enough to go hook the boat up and head out for a quick run before dark. Ended up with 5 pinkies in the esky and lost 3 to sammy the seel. Got...

My sounder died as we were heading out so was lucky to even get a feed. Anyways new sounder on board so ...

If you are sounding up fish I'm 1 for trying not to move around heaps. Let the fish come to you instead of chasing them around all day but failing. Yeah it's good in winter with the couta not in plague numbers and smaller in size. If you want 1 for bait send a silver wobbler to the bottom and wind i...

Squidgy bug normally goes alright.

Good stuff mate. It would of been glass out there today. You just have to fight off the rubbish out there to get amongst the snapper. But when they are on the chew they are on. Did you fish the tide change on the reef?
