Also had some very aggressive mouthings/hits of bait looked exactly like a Gummy, completely crushed a Yakka head and took whole chunk of salmon, no hook up tho.. 7/0 Circle with drag set about 2kg.. idk. Was good experience though. Itching to get back out at night again, hopefully can make my way down south next time.crumpet_avenger wrote:Bad luck buddy. You were so confident too.
