Hi all,
First of all I would just like to say thankyou to everyone that contributes to this site and makes it such a great source of information and advice.
I have fished a lot of my life but have recently become more involved in lbg fishing and am after advice. I currently run a saragosa 10000 and saltist hyper 9’6” off the rocks as well as a smaller 9 foot setup. I am based in Lake Macquarie and fish at Tomaree when able and have also explored some of Hat Head in search of lbg ledges.
My question is:
Is livebaiting worth the effort to maximise results? I am looking at getting a tyrnos 30 with 24kg mono and a Shimano Dynamix lbg rod (15-24kg) rod for this but am unsure whether I would be better off solely using lures and saving myself the effort.
I have never live baited before and have only fished off the rocks around tomaree and hat head for snapper and occasional rat king or big eye trevally.
I am really keen to catch big kingfish and tuna this season around the mid north coast of NSW.
Again I appreciate any input or piece of advice no matter how significant.
Thanks,
Lightning
