    Ronnie, I'll be out there with you, I really need to get into a massive one this year. I'll have to get you to show me how you made your squid light.

    Picked a few up the other day in Halifax bay, the best went 86cm and then these pair in the mid 70's for a double hook up, got a by catch of 1/2 dozen doggies to go. Should be a good summer for sinking a few live baits and holding on! Got to love living in the north and fishing like this all year round!

    I'll definately have a go, probably around christmas when I get more time. Still waiting to get a good one. Trying to perfect the technique in catching and using live squid. Always open to advice on what works for others.

    I can't wait to get up north to chase them again. I got this one in 2003 at Lucinda on a SP, it was 80cm and 7.5kg

    Your right about the socks and thongs on my mate, he's a big girl. The little feet next to his belong to my six year old son trying to teach my mate to harden up. Cheers Daleo
