Does it come in 20mm?

Asking for a mate

Is that 20mm diameter or long Kimtown lol

More like Chodetown

Nah that's on the other side out near Ventnor but it's the same deal. Cast a spike about a metre and a half under a float. Wait. Squid.

Not a complicated game at all.

The science of it is a bit beyond me but my own observations are enough for me to ensure that I now dispatch fish, squid and crabs as quickly and humanely as possible. I hate seeing any fish gasp their lives out on a pier or a beach or in a bag and it distresses me now when I see a big pelagic fish ...

It's not much extra effort to kill them humanely, and even if you're not concerned about inflicting pain on them they definitely taste better if you brain spike them and bleed them ASAP.

Trying to swim away when they get hooked is a reaction to a stimulus as are your other examples.

Reaction to stimulus does not mean the fish has identified the stimulus as pain.

Another fantastic report...are you using circle hooks?

Always.Gamakatsu, i'm happy to pay the little extra for quality hooks.

A Glass BBQ on the boat keeps the energy up for a weeks fishing.

Depends on if the sesh is more or less than 8 hours. Every session begins with a maccas breakfast and a large strong coffee. Ideally 45 mins before launch so the bodies movements get happening at the ramp. Dry bag in the boat has a an emergency bag of snakes, a heap of nutty muesli bars and a couple...

Heavier leader for sure. I run 180lb to cast for GTs and 200lb for doggies, both in case the fish pull you into the reef and you need abrasion resistance.
