Full moon is not party time for squid. Hmm, thanks, was not aware of that with squid mate! The same can be said with trout...however I’ve found they do feed better after dark during a full moon. Do you find it similar with squid dude, or do they seem to shut down altogether? It’s interesting how mo...

Squid are in spawning mode? Again? Must be a water temp thing, as I thought Oct/Nov was the time. There ya go! Water temp is a key factor for many species. It’s interesting how the snapper are coming back on the chew (which happens when water temps begin dropping back to prime feeding temp), and yet...

I feel your pain. Eagle rays and banjos do my head in, especially when they tangle lines and ruin beautiful fresh baits. Then there’s dog sharks during the colder months.

Once you find the kingie schools do you tend to cast to them with stick baits and the likes, or do you just troll around them? No redhunter...just troll through them . Only rea...

Picked the worst spot to cross from what I’ve heard, and boats a third of the size crossing a few hundy metres along had no issues. Apparently it bottomed out and the engines stalled, and a mayday call was made. The boat was declared a write-off after this mis-hap. What a waste!

Well done putting a couple on the deck! Would have been an experience for the young fella.
