Today, I went out for my first deep sea fish. We were on 3-500m of water and thankfully we were using electric reels

So. I can say it's my PB since it's the first time I've ever caught them.

570 big eye
1110 harpuka


Really proud of them both

cheers.

The big eye tastes nicer out of the 2.

To be honest. Other than saying you have done it. Pinkies, dhuies, trout. Are just as nice as or nicer. More sweet tasting

Awesome stuff red hilux 👍👍, so where did you launch from and you're lucky to have got a break in the weather to get out far enough at this time of the year.

Good stuff RH. I've fished 250mtrs manually before and it wasn't much fun even with a double hook up. I really only fish to 80mtrs now.

I just cant justify the purchase of a $1500 reel for a couple of times a year use if im lucky. plus saving for a boat. plus the skipper's bestie is back now so Ive got no show.... haha

Electrics are over rated haha.
That charter has been doing pretty well out wide off there over the last six months or so, seems like ultra deep fishing is going to be the next big thing over the next year.
