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 Edited by red hilux, Jul 4 2017, 04:28 PM.

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.

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. |
