Moreton Bay Spots

No, just a 20" mono trace and deal with the odd bite off. I think the secret is in the speed you wind at, anything less than flat out gives the macs a better chance of a bite off (or they recognize your lure for what it is and don't bite)

There I was way up the inside of Moreton wondering where all the Spotties were?

Nice feed!

Awesome catch well done. I have never caught a spotty cause they always seem to bite through the line. Were you using a wire trace?

Cheers,

You're not the only one SS - esp when floating out pillies... I was chatting to a mate at a well known Brissie Tackle shop yesterday who said it doesn't matter what 'lb' mono you use - if they're going to bite through there's just nothing you can do - except use wire but you won't get the fish... Catch 22!! He did suggest rigging the pillie through the top with the top hook entering the head between the eyes and nose...

Well done VIC - I guess you would be VIC 'Sweeter' and not 'Bitter' after that haul!!!

i have also been told when floating pillies have the top hook empty/showing.
havent tried it yet to tell you if it works
