Forgive me. Had practice on the test board. Worked there. Hopefully here too.

Ok now to give you a taste of the fillets from last season - they were bigger than this year, so far. Bass Groper that went 55kg east of the Cape in 400m. Like eating coral trout, just BIGGER

So where do I pick up my bait fillets from?
Ok boys, here are some tips
Sinkers - cable tie bits of reo steel together. I use 2 to 6 kg depending on wind etc.
Hooks - circles on Blue eye are good BUT beware, they have super soft mouths. Be gentle.
Bait - doesn't matter, but tie it on so it doesn't fall off
Line, I use 200lb braid. Take an extra spool. no joy when it breaks at the tip and you don't have a back up.
Usual fuel burn is 180 litres at 1.3 km per litre. Thats Bris to shelf return.
You covered everything but marks. Ive only got about 150lts.
Cheers for the info. Got 400lb leader hooked to 120lb leader hooked to 100lb braid.
Was using snapper sinkers no time to get reo sorted.
Good. use a long 120lb leader to act as a shock cord - like 5 to 10 metres. Jerry cans work just fine as long as they are in your boat and full.
Snapper leads work too, just make sure they wont spin, helicopter on the waaaaaay doooooowwwwn.
You got the alvey or the TLD

Alvey and maybe a tld. 150 is with gerry cans carry about 100 under floor.
But the marks I have may not be the same as yours also I burn less than 1.3lt km
400lb leader is to keep the baits straight and a swivel before the sinkers to stop spinning of leader. Only using crap mono on sinkers plan to leave them on the bottom but if they make it back bonus.
Are you talking about an Alvey or an ALVEY

I posted the pic a couple pages back.
Not a deck winch a alvey on a rod.
Living the dream. Yes I will be hurting but I also expect it to be funny as hell. Defiantly taking my sense of humour. And a video camera. And I assume you haven't taken the time to read all 31 pages so a quick recap. No electrics, pretty much just short of hand lines, all in a 5.5mt bow rider. That's my crew. Muddy has a better set up than me but where is the adventure.
The weather certainly looks the goods for monday, ill be hoping to see some pics monday arvo!
Or you could jump aboard there's a spare spot.Originally Posted by cobiaman
Good info there OR, cheers for that. What kind of setup do you recommend, paternoster I assume? (think only one hook though as a double hookup would suck!)
was thinking of joining ya champ but limited to about 150 km's (on a good day, includes a safety margin) what's your planned mileage? Max fuel for me 90 ltr's plus emergency fuel
