Reply With Quotenice feed of parrot
Well I had an early start planned to get some decent Snapper but the weather forcast put a dampener on the plans with 15-20knots and 1.8M waves. Typical as I have not been able to get out for weeks.
Got up this morning and went online at 8am to find under 1M with 6knots howling through the Seaway.
Ok so lets do what we can I figured and by 9,30am myself and a mate are heading out the seaway.
Doing about 24knots we arrived at a new part of the 36īs (for me) in about 25minutes.
Bit lumpier out wide with a few larger waves rolling through at times but definitely a nice day for a fish and only humpbacks in sight. Drifting was too much work as we came off the reef too fast so in the end we anchored and found the current to be slight and not a leatherjacket in sight.
I proceded to fill the esky at this point and by about 2pm we had had enough for the day. The esky had by this time 7xSquire/Snapper and one Venus Tuskfish. That was the first decent tuskfish I`ve boated so I`ll enjoy getting a feed of that.
Surprisingly I did not only outfish my companion but I totally blitzed the field with him not boating a single keeper. We were using the same bait and technique each having a rod for floatlining and a paternoster rig, the floater was probably more productive but the paternoster took the 50cm Tuskfish. The smallest kept Squire was about 40cm.
I`m guessing my choice of circle hook ensured I boated most of the fish that hit my bait, I was also using 40lb vanish as a leader and it might have helped as well.

If you can keep your head while all about are losing theirs and blaming it on you - perhaps you have underestimated the seriousness of the situation.
Onya there B.B.
36s are the wat to go out there. They seem to produce better for us.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But ,flogging him into submission will result in him taking up crabbing.... and once he gets a taste of that sh*t, well, he may never return again.
Already been done Capt_DAZZA. Well sortaOriginally Posted by CAPT_DAZZA
Few of us got together last year and have been doing trips together since. Now have some top mates from the original HAINES DAY OUT as it was called.
