  1. I would love to get out Taupo. I mark it at around 200nm east of port Stephens. So at around a 12kn steam on a mothership type arrangement you could get there in an afternoon and night run of about 16hrs. Would certainly be an experience. But there is certainly nowhere to hide out there.
  2. Looks like the US ballyhoo rig that they use for sails.
  3. Couldn't figure out how to attach the image from Google to this. But it's there,
  4. Google the standard wiring diagram. All the info you need is there to get it right.
  5. Hard to say, warm current still pushing down hill pretty well. Hopefully the east coast low ( and the next one or two over the next few weeks) will break it up a bit and allow some southern ocean water to push up in close enough for us to have a crack. Pretty short window last year, and maybe the same this year. But you never know unless you go!
  6. 2 x Tiagra 50w, a 30w and an 80w
  7. The NSW government wants to lock us out and make it illigal to fish a lot of area within the state boundaries. I get the feeling they want no-one fishing, as we are a 'high impact' user of the resource, according to there current report.
  8. I'll be out. Heading south east looking to fish that temp break for the arvo high tide. Going to concentrate on the cool side if we can find it. Good luck boys.
  9. Mate, the rock fishing up there at the moment is the best I've seen for about 10 seasons. Done 5 trips in last 10 days, and the weather has been amazing. Once the baits hit the current line, which sometime is really hard work to get there, they go off within 5 mins. Nice haul and nice report as always.
  10. It's my favourite time of day. As tradie, I guess I see around 250 sunrises a year. Then on my days off I get up earlier to go fishing ?!
  11. Fished there on the ledge yesterday. Got a nice Mac early and got sharked on a blue. Not many fish are making it past the Sharks. Seen a boat hook up solid to a good black Marlin on those same bait schools. It was not a little black either. Pretty cool standing in the rocks watching a beakie greyhounding 250m out.
  12. Any bait out past the shelf? Birds on the temp break out there or inshore near the shelf? Looks like I am allowed out to play tomorrow, which is rare for me on a weekend. Thanks for the report
  13. Well I went live baiting of the rocks up the coast for a tuna as I had no crew. Played with a big shark on 8 kg for an hour, never really gaining any line on him. Just about had me spooled when the leader parted. Lost a cobe at my feet after a short and lively battle he dusted me on the ledge. So no boat, but something different
  14. Anyone thinking of heading out chasing Marlin tomorrow? I'm half keen. So if your looking for a decky, I'm interested. Additionally, if anyone else is keen, I can take my boat out. We got a nice stripe on the shelf in my tub last Friday. So either way let me know.
  15. Someone must been keen for a shot at a Marlin?? There is still a lot around on the shelf and beyond
  16. Sydney mate. Heading up your way Friday morning. Had a pretty hot bite on the blues down here last Monday so wanted another crack at that As soon as the weather allows.
  17. Looking for a decky for Thursday. Mostly trolling for a Marlin but will get some baits for a quick flick at the fads. Text me on 0438361580. Cheers. Scott
  18. Good write up mate. Thanks for the reports. I'll be up there next weekend with the family. But off course the boat will be coming!
  19. Top work boatart. We fished Sunday but only got as wide as 90fa for all zero's. Well done, your buddy would be still glowing
  20. Fished Monday. It was a tough day all round. We did not turn a real and a lot of the radio chatter was to the same effect. But they can show up one day and be gone the next. Good luck
  21. No luck mate. All the radio chatter suggest fish were north from broken bay.
  22. That outfit is the same as what I use at the fads. 20lb fluorocarbon leader and 5/0 circle with live baits. Knocked some good dollies over with it. Also Managed to stay attached to a nice little black with it for over 20 mins until the leader failed. Probably more due to the aggressive driving of the skipper than the outfit or angling skill. That bugger never got more than 35m from the boat. Good luck and enjoy.
