Nice sledge Jeff. I am going to turn the tables with my deckie so he can skipper me to a thredie.Originally Posted by bundylundy
Nice fish Jeremy, makes up for Steve getting one longer than yours the night before. Good to see Darryl putting his skipper duties ahead of catching threadies.
Jeff.Good skipper though first time chasing tham and picked a spot that produced 5 for the morning
Nice action and beaut rod for the job on 2 kg line. I am not happy with the sliding reel seat arrangement. Can't keep the bloody reel on. I have had to tie the two catches together. Any clues?

Wow, 950 points mate. Mate used to fish with ANSA in the 80s . Interested to know what do they give as a fighting factor to the threadies. A fantastic fish on any line but 2kg pretest, you'd have to be dam happy with that capture.Deffinantly a talking point at that next meeting.Congradulations
Jeremy, you're a nutter! The only thing 2lb test is for for is dental floss
You're a champ mate. Well done.

Hi J
Sounds like a fault perhaps with the rod? Maybe you should take it back and get them to look at it. Never had an issue with my 2 fortunately...
Take Care T
Jeremy,
thats a deadset cracker on 2kg!
Cheers
James
fighting factor for the threadies is 1.9. The factor is based on both the fighting ability and how hard it is to find and hook the fish, but IMHO they are nowhere near a 1.9 compared to other species. The fight is clean and they do not have too much stamina or even speed. Still a great sportfish for the size and look and they are still a good fight.

Will talk to you at the meeting on Wed, but guys that fish other areas of the river only use 50lb braid as the fish swim out to the middle of the river initially but go hard at coffee rock when brought close to land
Maybe the area we fish is a bit more freindly, dont forget Darryl got buried on one of his runs
Rob
Great fish Jeremy!! Should be a fine addition to your Top Ten for this year!

Were you fishing deep water. I ask because the two i have hooked in shallow water have absolutely hammered across the surfrace like a torpedo and got massively airborne and then tried to get me around the nearest structure. Sounds like they may behave differently in the shallow stuff. Ben
I know my fish isnt as big as your one Jeremy . i said fish nothing else.But as Blooey said, mine was hooked on shallow ground at low tide and the speed that the fish was moving was like a torpedo like Blooey said and acrobatics when first hooked as well. definately no slug and totally buggered itself before coming in. was hard to get her going again but swam away nicely after few minutes. Im going chasing another tommorow with success i hope.
That is interesting to read Ben and Lizard Wizard. The stuff Gavin Dunne has written has said the same thing, but very different from my experience. The four I have caught have all been hooked in 8-10 m on the edge of a dropoff and all headed out to deeper water on the first run. I have a theory that the heavier your drag setting/line class, the harder the fish (any fish) will fight. Hookup location (jaw, gut etc) might also play a part?
