That's a great capture in any era.

How did you used to get your live baits out wide?

Out wide....

Sun, 2007-12-02 20:26

my bait was about 30 mtrs off the rocks when it got nailed and lots of times we got hit as soon as it hit the water , jelly beans were the hot bait(frigate mackeral), we just use to drift the bait out under a bobby cork or balloon

and a couple of gaffs and manhandle them , the tubes is'nt too bad though as the lower ledge is right on water level , carrying it out to the carpark is the killer though .
