Hi raiders,
Last week the boss asked me to load him up of fishing gear. He wants to chase tuna and Marlin. Spent a load of money ( not mine ). Stella 30000 on t-curve jig rod, 2 x tiagra 50w matched with tiagra t-curve rods. Line and lures.
Leaving from Pittwater on Sunday morning the thoughts are to find some live bait, head out to the shelf and troll either side of the shelf possibly down to browns. If we find the action work the area if not we will be cubing once we stop.
Being the first time going after these magnificent creatures I am wondering if anyone has any advice on do's and don'ts and where to fish in the big blue ocean. I have fished since I was a boy but on bread and butter fish as well as chasing kings. I have spent hours on hours over the years reading and watching on how to catch game fish as this has always been a dream of mine but I am pretty sure with 2 novices all this will go out the door.
Any advice at all wheather that is where to try, lure colours working, gps coordinents, radio channels or the like would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully this will be the first trip of many. I need to get the boss onto one of these fish so he can catch the fishing bug we all have.
Have a great weekend all and hopefully hear or see you guys on the sea.
Matt
