Back out today with a mixed bunch of individuals aboard. We started off trying for hounds where we had seen a few the day before yesterday. The hermit pot was very disappointing with only 15 or so crabs for 48hrs soak. The start of the tide saw 3 hounds early on for barney. The other…

tope tackle
While there are a few tope about it is important to remember that any kind of fish or squid bait could picked up by a tope. so it is best to either tackle up for tope or fish with crab or worm baits for hounds. For tope traces I would recommend 8/0 or 10/0 circle…

Headed back out today with 6 lads on a premier offshore trip. With slightly better weather and tides we put a bit more mileage in today. we didn’t stop for mackerel as the water was still the wrong colour and i had a load of fantastic quality frozen mackerel from ‘bait box’ in stead. Our…

Had 8 lads on board today and headed back down in search of a few roker again. the weather was spot on and the fishing matched it too. The roker were coming in one after the other (or at the same time) all morning. There were some great fish amongst them with several around the…

Headed out tonight with a premier evening trip with several regular lads. we hoped to target some hounds but I must say were disappointed by the lack of crabs in the pot. Luckily the lads had a fair bit of rag and alec had crabs (again) so we continued. The wind had died to leave…
