I worked for a few months in the NT and used a Daiwa baitcaster. I started off not trying to cast too far, kept a bit of pressure on the spool, and gradually increased the distance and the lure weight. As they say practice makes perfect!

Put in a morning just past The Pines and my best catch of Flathead this year resulted - 10 retained with some solid ones and many small ones returned. About 16 m was the best depth. Also kept 2 big Gurnard, threw some smaller ones back, and also managed a small Gummy just over minimum length. The re...

Bloody well done I'd be happy to do that out of a boat let alone off the rocks . And off a 6000 stella. And here's me thinking you were a DAIWA saltiga bloke . Thank you. I also have an expedition 5500 and a 4000 and 14000 certate. Honestly the new certate is an absolute weapon and probably as good...

Half a dozen decent Flathead, a small but legal Gummy and a few Gurnard drifting in close to the beach yesterday. Trolled back in just behind the breakers and managed a few Salmon so the bait/burley supply is stocked up! Fresh Gummy and chips went down well last night.

Squid slow initially (run out tide), being on the smaller side with better sizes firing up around 9:30am closer to the slack tide. Tried for whiting with the plastics, couldn’t find them but ...

Hey all, Sharing a quick fishing report following yesterday's success bagging out on calamari within the hour. The weather was perfect, with glass out conditions, a light NW breeze, run-in tide and full sun. There was some surface weed around the 2-3m mark, so punched out to 3-4m casting this slow s...
