PE 16 wow, would love to see a reel that could handle that much drag

Good stuff mate, I definitely need to explore those reefs a little bit more, my boat always seems to have an auto pilot north to Port Stephens though 🤷‍♂️

Have you ever caught a snapper before? 🤣

Rest up mate hope to see you out on the water again soon.

Cracking red mate, id estimate the weight to be around 6.5-7kgs. Quiet often the good fish hit the lures in the top 1/3rd of the water column.

Told ya mate ten years you would be targeting the sweep, may have to start now. 3lb mainline and leaders, little pink kmart rod

I've fished the lake a handful of times and the only advice I can offer is find the bait find the fish. Plenty of good structure through out the lake, the best success I have had is looking for the tailor schools and fishing underneath them with plastics and vibes.

Moon phase and all the fresh would have had a lot to do with how Broughton fished today as well.

Plenty of casts in between fish that was for sure but we worked hard and got a few. Top company and a cracking day either way, the dusting is just a common occurrence when I come up.

Add me to theist dependant on work!!

I wonder if it was whiskers who smoked me the week before, im still telling myself it was a hoodlum.

Good stuff mate, I'm sure a lot of others would have just left it

Haha it's good sometimes being the guide, all too common being outfished when she is onboard

Had a quick window after work to take the tub for a run down the local. Launched at Gosford just before dark and fished a spot that usually delivers. I was throwing a cross fire surface lure whilst the wife was flicking a little Samaki 85mm vibe in Ghost bait. Small hops off the bottom and a bit of scent is all that is required for these lures to become deadly on lizards. The wife came up tight and after a good fight on 8lb her PB lizard was in the boat. After a quick photo the fish was safely released.

I've heard of a species Terra Australis that always fights this hard, I reckon that's what you may have been fighting
