Mooloolaba sailfish

[the linesman]

Went out today on a mates boat to the game fishing grounds of Mooloolaba had great day taged 3 sails & 1 mack tuna out of 7 strikes. The three that didn't hook up were also sails.Sorry no picks we both forgot our camers & the mates phone didn't realy cut it.
Hope the rest of the game fish season is like this.;D ;D ;D

Whats your preference iin getting them to the spread?

I've just bought a witch doctor but haven't tested it yet.

Cheers John O

[the linesman]

Johnob most of the shots came on the side of the boat where we were running a spreader bar with plastic squid.
Cheers.

Sailfish love splashy teasers - birds, spreader bars coke cans run backwards.

Witchdoctor is good, would leave it in the water too.

Good luck

Hi Johno, Sails and blacks are teased up in different ways but in saying that it all depends on the food they're feeding on at the time. The good old Witchdoctor has performed well for hundreds of anglers over the years, just make sure you use a heavy stainless swivel and cord or it will be a short lived and expensive exersize. The Birds work better if your just targeting Sails though and much cheeper.

Went to borrow a mates the other week and he hadn't upgraded the swivel.......

Damm expensive and flash driftwood alright.
