the gear I used was fin-nor offshore 6500 threadline on a matching 80lb fin-nor jigging rod 80 lb Sunline Jigger 8 colour coded braid and 100lb Sunline shock system leader.No knot failures and fish broke the leader on the bottom. The bouy we got done over at is quite shallow , between 10 and 17 metres at best, and the fish were 8 metres down so we had the baits 6 metres deep. as you can see the fish didnt have far to go to get to the bottom and this marker has a nasty amount of rock around it.

Took some overseas mates fishing today and spent the first 2 hours getting squid, lots of small ones. We decided to head to Taylors Bay to spin up some surface action but half way across we saw some one hooked up to a good fish.After watching him land it we threw out a live squid and bang a big hook up followed nice long run then the hook pulled. ok back to the spot with 2 squid out double hook up straight away . We had both fish on for about five minutes then both did the power dive and busted us off. Meanwhile the guy who was there first landed another good fish. We were fishing 80lb braid and tight drag and yet again two more spankings. By this time the other guy took pity on us and asked would we like his smallest fish , hell yeah, 103cms came across the gunwhale!!! The point of the post is during all this action I didnt thank him enough so if he's reading this Thanks mate Karma fish coming your way. didnt take a photo of the fish as I knew my mates would claim it!

hi just a quick heads up I went to Dee Why today to get some weed(for blackfish) and saw 2 good schools of salmon at the back of the break. This arvo when down to Manly and there was 2 or 3 good size schools between Queenscliffe and Manly Point Stuart

not to forget Forty Baskets Beach and Watsons Bay Wharf and Cobblers Beach(early before nude men)

I must look guilty!In the last 10 days I have had the Fisheries rubber ducky check me over twice.Once last week at North Head(pity they can only enforce Fisheries issues not tools trolling through schools of fish)and today at The Sticks off Neilson Park. Today the very lovely Irish girl came aborad and looked under every hatch and in all containers for undersize fish.So they are about.
