PB Trev bycatch

[rb85]

Have you had any issues with the nature parks walking in there? Nice trev by the way?

Never been hassled by anyone.

That’s good they are known to read the riot act especially when near those precious fairy penguins.

They go hard at that size. I have caught them down at the sheep wash area the same size. Nice one :thumbsup:

Not on 24kg gear and 100lb traces.....

Was ballooning for Kings off a Bass Straight ledge yesterday. About an hour after setting up I had that moment of 'where's my balloon', 10 seconds of confusing, sudden realisation and then a moment of panic.

After a brief fight on 24kg gear and calling it a king then a snapper, this bad boy appears on the surface. Approx 45cm of Silver Trevally, took a 30cm hood squid 2m under a balloon.

As always, please do not ask for information regarding the location. Happy to talk about techniques, conditions, tactics etc.

Did you catch that fish..?

Yup, poppers, stickbaits, slugs, all creates surface noise, and we pick up a few baits that way.

You eat the big trevor or use him for bait?
Cracking fish. I know that rock ledge. Be careful mate. My cousin drowned just near there
