  1. Yep I thought the same here. Quick web search shows there are a couple of faith based fishing tournament organizations calling themselves "Fishers of Men"
  2. I'm drifting there at Swinburne right now ----still a few fluke to be had in September even after the Ambrose dredging.
  3. Thanks for the replies I lost a favorite jig ---but turns out it's still in production.
  4. So I'm working an ocean beach today --one where I've seen spanish jump recently but not today. I'm throwing 1 oz. tins --20 lb braid to 20 lb 24 inch flouro leader fastened with a seven turn surgeon's knot. I land 2 small 3 lb blues no issues .Then I make a cast and as the lure settles I feel a couple of sharp twitches --I start to reel up feel the lure for a second then ...slack ---I reel up a cut end of braid ---that is the braid itself was cut . I'm thinking I was cut off by a mackerel . Is it a thing for them to slash the a line even a couple of feet from the lure ?
  5. Good advice here ----I've used that model rod going back many years -- I've always run the suggested 6500 with 20 lb mono -----there is usually plenty up on the auction site lots are basically new.
  6. The Tackle House Flitz 42 is a 3.5 inch swimming plug that weighs an ounce and a half -----twice the price of an SP but a tough plug ----some use them for tuna with the stock hooks.
  7. Plenty of good fishing in NYC ---last year had bluefin--- including some giants ---from Early May to December --- within sight of the skyline.
  8. I can't find it again ---- just watched it a couple of days ago ---- the angler uses a pedal kayak and trolls the snax with frequent twitches as he travels between spots.
  9. Albie snax -----a guy from the Vineyard has a nice video online showing his trolling technique.
  10. Hello littletunnie----I'll take those spools at asking price ---- please send PP info. Thanks, whistlefish
  11. For the rudderfish 2 inch spearing dead drifted seems to work best ---if using lures a trout size pins minnow will get hit .
  12. Any details on the braid -- brand ? ---lb. test ? approximate yardage ? Thanks.
  13. I've only caught less than a dozen --- not the best fighters ---- came across a video of commercial guys getting them in Florida ----seemed like once they hit 4 lbs or so they pull harder. As for eating ----darn good.
  14. Hooking up on the first cast and wondering if the curse will be true this session.
  15. Prawns ---40cm bream --must be from a Land Down Under .
