    And I have a Calcutta 200H sitting gathering dust if you would like a lightweight but grunty overhead to try out.
    Ask a few salmon fishermen if they are any good for casting.

    Thanks for the offer but my extra thumbs make casting an overhead too difficult for me.

    shimano gear is fine, Im up to three soft bait sets as I use them for catching my livies as well these days

    I like berkley dropshot rods, length is good the short ones are for kayak fishing so you can reach your fish easier (not much use outside a kayak)
    I actually like my cheepest softbait reel the most as it was smoothest, even tho it has the least bearings its an old nexave so $50 reel

    caught by my missus on the $50 nexave reel

    forget stella or saltiga unless you are looking to spend silly money

    go for the least weight needed to get you to the bottom while casting ahead when drifting, usually 1/2 oz in under 20m
    usually you get your fish on the drop or as it hits the bottom

    for softbaits just try a few different types, 5inch matches well to 1/2oz I like jerk shards and wigly tail ones. i use mostly Zman as they last way longer than gulp
    I havent noticed any difference with using secret sauce, but i use it when things get quiet

    on the bright side for you southerners blue cod seem to smash my softies

    slow drifts are good and drogues are sometimes needed

    softbaits work easily as well as lures bieng towed by the boat, but when you catch kahawai keep the rod tip in the water if you think the fish is about to jump as thats when they throw the hook

    The fish I catch are all on real bait ,don't think polluting the the fishery with more plastic is good for the eco-system or other marine animals.
    You keep your plastic garbage down there ,just make sure to clean up the resulting mess & litter on the fore shore.

    They say a car tire is completely biodegradable too if you give a million years or so .So how biodegradable are they ?
    As for being referred to as "Pig islanders" is a bit offensive unless thats intended of course.

    I'd say they would break down a lot fasted that all the mono, braid, hooks, swivels, plastic and lead that's lost in the ocean. Any fisherman that says he doesn't litter is all shit.

    The Pig Islanders part was VC trying to be funny but seems some woke on the wrong side?

    It wasn't funny when I lived in the SI either & was intended to be offensive .Maybe some people need to learn some manners & not make statement
    like that on a public forum ,or is it they got out of bed on the wrong side. Certainly seem to have an inferiority complex them live down there.
