Re: Rock life

Wasn't expecting it to be down that end of the country, not a lot of the typical LBG target species down there. I’ve fished a lot of that coast from Kaka Point down to Waikawa and tbh I’ve never considered it a game fishing area, the big fish there tend to be far too big to be messing with. It’s a ...

It fascinates me when people refer to a secret spot then post where it is on the internet.
I didn't post where it is. The guy who called it a secret spot said it is near Long Point, which is what I posted coordinates to. It isn't actually on Long Point.

Re: Catch and Cook Carp Video

Very informative video, Thanks Alan. Since I am a less adventurous cook, I found myself questioning some of your methods there but clearly you know what you are doing, the end result speaks for itself. Bon Apetit.

Re: Rock life

A buddy of mine in NZ is planning a trip to this spot: http://kakapoint.com/seal_rock.html He'll be casting into water almost 50m deep. I've fished easier ledges within a couple of kms of that rock, I've looked down at it and said "f$%! that." It's in this general area if anyone's ever there 46°34'1...

I'll admit that I try to think i'm not really scared of anything physical (existential is a different story), but it took me a solid 20 minutes after setting it up to set foot on it.
To be fair, that drop isn't just a physical threat, it looks like an existential one too.

Re: Paternoster rigging variations

1. Has anyone simply tied on a couple of hooks onto the main line as an alternative to creating the leads out to the side? Easier to do and I'm not sure if there would be a downside. I do this when I'm targetting leatherjackets, when you need a lot of feel for tiny bites. I tie a hook straight onto...

Re: Portsea

I've been caught out too with salmon showing up and me just with squid jigs. Now I always keep a metal lure in my jig case.
