AI fella

A mate headed out wide from Botany on Wednesday for a troll, scored 2 blues 140kg and one at 170 kg, hope they stay around for the Hacking 100 Get out there with the 37 kg gear and some big skirts Cheers, Gareth

Awesome as usual Yowie 👍

Thought they were Watson's leaping bonito?

Dont no much more detail other than a live bait was used, the rocks are at the western end of Jibbon beach, with the recent southerly the water temp is bringing some northern species in close, you never know in the Hacking! Cheers

Nice work as usual mate, Hacking starting to fire up with that warm water 😎

Just had this photo sent to me, caught last week off the rocks around from Bundeena, also a metre fish sighted this arvo off the jetty... Time to fish some livebaits after work tomorrow Cheers, Gareth

Great report , Hacking been a bit quite down my end (Maianbar) as its copped an absolute flogging over xmas and new year , good to see the SW arm has something left Cheers

Skipper weighed them 25 , 30 and 32 kg, and fortunately my boss owns the boat , wont be hitting the canyons in my kayak 😆😆😆 , cheers , Gareth

Yes, all 3 on the old faithfull lumo sprocket in green, some reason they love green, we only used one rod as there were boats everywhere, a 90kg model was lost so make sure your using 30 wide reels 27kg, a big blue was hooked in 1500 fathoms but the boys dropped it, hope the longliners didnt smash the school last night , south of the Canyons, find the birds , tight lines all 😎, cheers all, G

Lol mate, i move bags of concrete every day and there 20 kg , this was easy close to 2 ,we dont have scales so 30-35 kg would be very close,

Headed to the peak for a jig but it was very quiet , changed plans and started to troll for Marlin ,only took 5 minutes and we hooked up to a small black but the hook didnt stick Reports came through on the radio that the yellowfin were going nuts at the Canyons...and there were birds and tuna just going berserk once we arrived, 3 fish all about 45kg in 30 minutes some fish getting airborne 😁 it was an amazing sight to see , After a quiet year today made up for it Cheers , Gareth

Wow, another reason to sell the kayak, Awesome footage ,cheers

Hi mate, the answer is easy!! when I lived in Bondi i fished McKenzies Point ,take a left out onto the rocks from the track that goes along to Tamaramma , head out on the rocky headland , you'll see holes drilled in the rocks for rod-holders, I fished with 13 foot beach rod, 4000 size reel with 20lb mono(I dont like braid on big beach gear) ,swivel then 1.5m 30lb leader, whole pillies either on a bobby cork rig, or running spoon/star sinker rig ,again with a whole pillchard on gangs. When using pillies on gang hooks , if the bait is rigged head first youll get tailor, i rig them tail first for the kings...... As with any open ocean spot you need to check conditions and swell, its an awesome spot with a small swell at first light Cheers

Ribs, we were in 25 fathoms :), will try the jig next time, cheers

And i think it was 2006 there were Dollies caught off the rocks @(Gunyah point) , a yellow fin landed off the spit @ Maianbar/Bonnivale, and one of the "old boys" here in Maianbar reckons theres a photo of a bull shark grabbing a small deer down near Audley, love the Hacking !
