Went up north for my birthday with the wife and no kids to give me a chance to hook up on some local species. Our secretary at work said to call her brother Barry to see if he could take me out. Lucky the weather was pretty well glassed out (i know it was prety crappy down here) and he said he would be going out from 6 30 pm to 2 in the morning about 48 klms off shore heading north from Yorky's Knob ramp.
The boys were using 50 pound braid and 80 pound leader in 40 metres of water and laughed at my 15 pound to a biminy and 30 pound leader with only a lighter sinker and 1 hook as they had 2 on a paternosca rig. Pulled up some good species through the night bar the 15 or so mowong in large schools. Caught the biggest fish of the night a large mouth nannagie and had a ball pushing lighter gear. e also had a few red emperer come in. The next morning Barry said he might try some lighter gear after the fun i had as they just skull drag em up eyes out and back in. A good time was had by all 4 of us as they had never seen flat water for so long and pulled so many good fish for a while. Cheers
