got the gear...still can't stop stuff...Saltiga jigging gear spin dn ovehead with hiramasa saltiga rods...24kg easily...very easy to use light and strong...personally i think they are better than the stellas but that only my opinion...only got like 80lb stuff up year before (GT) still got pipped at post...as for reds trout i get majority up..except when we are wreck fishing with sharp meaterial below.
I'm hearing ya Rhyce, we didn't get our Cobia in the wreck and still couldn't stop them pulling the hooks right out of our rigs. I guess that's the weak spot, so now its time to sus out some different rigging methods and see what holds and what doesn't!!!!
Still fun experimenting!!!

You dont get many hooks pulled when you crimp.
yeah, but I would always be worried that I hadn'g done them tight enough!!!

time to revive this thread.
I read the other day that the Predators Tournament will be held over 2, 3, 4th May (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). Hopefully the weather holds out for that weekend.
scott we are going in the competition wouldn't mind a Townsville person in as we will come from the shelf and broadhurst then onto Townsville if your interested . we have been cracking 15 kg reds lately which should put us in the gun hole.as well as the grunter hole.
If I've got time off, I'll be lining up this year, have a feeling I will be doing more skippering and the missus will let loose. Who knows!!!

Graham, you can count on me to be there, I'd love to get onto some big reds, biggest I've ever caught was about 8kg
Do you have to have a boat to enter?
cheers

Dunks,
No you don't have to have a boat as some estuary species are included like grunter, barra, flathead plus a couple of others. But obviously the bigger prize money comes with the more sought after fish like your billies.
If you know someone with a boat suitable to go to the reef etc with, you have to register the boat with the comp, but it doesn't cost any extra, well at least it didn't last year. You can get more people to register and then register yourselves as a team too if you decide to take a boat out, this will also help keep running costs down for individuals. I'm not sure if they allow hire boats, but if you have a licence, mudpickers boat hire as a couple of 6m longboats they hire out, not sure if there's any limits on how far you can travel from shore though.
If anybody has a spot for a deckie to get in the competition Im very keen. I actually havent got a fish since last time with Scott and Graham. Imagine that.
Cheers,
Pedro
