Best eating fish in the sea, IMHO
Was heading out for a snapper this morning but my workmate txt during the night to say he wanted to cancel,that was ok with me I was only going to take him out anyway and I could do with a day at home.
Popper @Gibo?

Latest post is an awesome video of heaps of snapper up on the surface spawning and if you scroll down to dec 23 it looks like someone got a heap of albacore out there.
I'm not surprised they are here with the water temps of late, but we haven't managed to get one for the last two years so was starting to think that they were all getting caught in the pacific b4 they could make it here.
Happy days !! I know where I'm headed the next suitable opportunity :thumbsup:
I was being lippy referring to your giant yank tank pick up :P

Looks rusty as f*** as well. Nasty.
I did the same with a thick gauge assist hook once and ended up pulling it out the same way it went in, due to not having anything on the boat that would cut the hook.
I would say that it didn't really hurt...but I would be lying
Ouch...did you get the kingi? ...that looks bloody nasty unlike
These

No , im not sure why he was using such big hooks and heavy sinker . Was the heavy sinker falling off the edge of boat trick , whilst baiting the hook trick . Txt his lady to meet me at whalf . Lucky i got to go back out . 5 blue cod , 1 terriki , 3 crays , and a sole . Mint solo fish .

Got a stonking big Kahawai today at big river on a tiny little softbait I actually purchashed to try and catch flounder with.
The wife got one too also on a soft bait and then promptly arsed up in the river and buried my rod and reel in salt water,was bloody funny but now I will have to pull the reel to bits.
Big river and lagoon. Water was so clear you could sight fish and cast too them but they were very very shy......tryed a whole lot of lures and softbaits before I got one they would take.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2c5ce02f61.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5660720b44.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5007cae713.jpg

Mate....that is a beautiful spot....been there many times....
Managed to sneak out for a boat trip over new years, got our limit on blue cod easy as biggest being 54cm :)
went into the underworld and managed a personal best 10lb cray and tried for some albacore tuna on the way home but just a couple of rat kings landed
all in all a great day out!!
