top stuff mate im jealous I wish I lived closer..six hrs for us for cod same for trout..beaut pics of fish luv that eastern they are pretty fish..rick

there is bigger than them but they are hard to extract..we have tried fishin heavier but the more you give to the bigger ones the more they give back to you..i fish a balancing act with 15lb mono and fish them light drag or they just reef you instantly...I am fishing in pretty rough reef with rises from 50ft to 30ft back down to 60ft and the reds love goin round luderick heads and thru kelp...I had 5 nice fish in my ten bag limit but got dusted about 12 times over two sessions..who knows how big some of them are..my biggest is 11kilo from same area but there is bigger than that im sure...one thing is for sure I love doin it and cant wait to get back there...rick

nice healthy looking fish neil..hope the bigguns start to play for you cheers rick

hope you catch some of our fish in may neil..its good to see heaps of activity.. if your comin near central coast give a yell and I will try to get you onto some fish mate..rick

if you fish by yourself you may get a small benefit from a foil getting your hull on the plane quicker by holding the nose down..otherwise no real benefit..if your having cavitation probs there is something else wrong..rick
