Finally managed to get out on the briny with Scot today and what a cracker it was. Nothing huge landed but an awesome variety of fish came aboard. Much thanks goes to the man for showing me around some great areas.

First up on the way out we see a whale launch itself right out of the water 50m from the boat. Awesome, trip was already worth it. So many whales about which was good to see.

Sweetlip, nannygai, red snapper, pinky, plenty of under size dhuies and got my first on a plastic only 45cm but still fun. Had a huge hook up which I think was a big shark and lost it after a few minutes. Picked up a baldchin, two nice blackarse and a 55cm dhuie that was part of a double header of nice little dhuies. I kept the Baldie and dhuie for the esky.

Hopefully get to do that again before the ban kicks in.
Ill get an esky pic up in the morning.

Was unfortunate about the lost fish.

Here's some shots from our boat.

Even got a legal dhu on jig, now to find a bigger model

I've 100% convinced now its the leader and not my knots after speaking with tackle store and uncle who fishes a heap. He's lost big fish the same way, at knot at hook. Seems a little bit of teeth abrasion and high tension knots give way.
Tackle store even has said its not designed for bottom bashing, its for game.

SO...back to Black Magic / ICON leaders from now on.

Jinkai can eat a bag of...

Put it this way Col, i won't be dropping anymore. It's a rarity that i do, and to lose 3 good fish in the past 3 trips to leader failure, i'm devastated.

i reckon i can agree with that comment not that i get out to have a fish very often now days but i have dropped a few big fish with the same result a little curl at the end of the leader. i have wholly and solely only use jinka unless im at Gnarloo. time for a change if i ever get to go fishing again.

A poor tradesman blames his tools.

You're like a teenager getting his first root. It was over before it began

I've seen you fish. You ripped it out of it's mouth.

At least you didn't have to whack it in the head with your gaff and make a dill of yourself on go pro
