Fantastic fishing. I have to ask though, what size line on the 20000 Stella? The combo with the rod seems a littel different to what you would normally see with such a big reel. Or have I got the combo's mixed up?
Great report guys, a great way to break in the new gear and great pics.

Been too busy to watch out for your post guys, and B4 you know it its already gone to two pages! It shows that everyone is impressed by your catch, only there's something/someone missing!
Looking forward to the Video Dave. You're really getting into the good fish mate, don't wrestle too long about which fish deserves your Avitar spot, the Jewie must stay!! Tim, how good is it to give Dave the landing net or gaf duties for a while? Must be sensational!! Well done!
Matt, don't beat yourself up mate, weekend boat traffic will make it hard to find the fish, I doubt I will get anything like Dave and Tim, but you are welcome to try coordinate a trip with me any time.

Thanks for the feedback guys. To answer some questions.
The Hoos and Spaniard caught on Hard Bodies except one Hoo caught on a Skirt.
The Stella Rig had 65lb braid and 80lb leader, clip swivel, 65lb wire to lure. The rod is a 5.5ft Tblade, Vfox jigging stick. Bloody awesome rig.
On the Chew....how did you go out there today?
Scalem...The Jewie is staying for now mate. Until I catch something bigger. BTW The chips were great, yet again!!!
Yeah Tim I was mixed up. It did sound weird lol
Thats an awesome session well done. good to see the spaniards around. Cheers Andrew
Top day there fellas, well done!
Wahoo are great looking fish aren't they?
Especially when they're all lit up at the boat. Awesome!
Congrats, Jeff.
Good work boys, looking forward to seeing the video.
Cheers MM
Great report fellas...and that video is sensational!
I have a 4.5 m Bluefin and was playing around the bay that day, should have gone wide by the looks of that water ... first trip out in the new boat so didn't want to chance it.
What weight jig heads do you use most often out wide?
Cheers Rob
Sensational stuff.......
Yet another Top Vid / top day/ top fish/ top effort.
This is much better than the shows on the Telly !!!
All I can do is hope a couple of those things take a fancy to my hook.
Great work lads.....and thanks for the lessons.
Good work fella's, again. Glad to hear the new gear is all you hoped for Dave.

Hey Firefly....we mostly use TT Lures Jigheads in the Headhunter range. Size varies from 1/2oz to 3/4oz to 1oz and sometimes 1.5oz depending on the depth and current. I buy these sizes with a 7/0 Mustad hook. I usually start with 3/4oz if the water depth is 40m+ and go from there.
Thanks Goldie, will be picking up a few heads this week...then lookout fish!
