Re: Brighton breakwall
well done on the catch mate.
go home get your reel and see if you can pull line off your reel by hand, if your line isnt budging or is really hard to pull off then your drag is set too tight. loosent the drag knob a small amount at a time until line can be pulled off using only limited force. this way you wont break line off so much, once you get the hang of it you will know when to tighten more or less
and now for this part, how in the hell can you break 20lb leader on a 40cm fish. you are most likely not using the drag on the reel properly.ante552 wrote:I had the drag on and was trying my best.
But experience isnt the best as i havnt hardly caught the big 1.

Re: Brighton breakwall
Im not the best fisho but i had the drag loose usually i loosen when i set my rod down normally adjusted to a hand pull.
I dunno what i had i used my surf rod at the time and that bent and the shakes/fighting was great. But lets just say im crap .
I have seen a massve ray there near the bus shelter. After i threw in berley.
Ill give gunners a try friday if i cant catch salmon then ill go to fishing school
