Re: Land-based Calamari - 2/06/2023

Nice man. My first over 40 was also a 43 hahaha, and about the same time of the year 5 or so years ago. Gotta love those monster lunges... Ill never forget my first monster which I dropped from being new to the game, being caught off guard at how strong they pull and how heavy they feel in the water...

Re: Trolling motor for Westernport?

Absolutely no chance you will hold even with a 55lb.
I'd aim for 80lb plus if you want to actually hold in decent wpb current in areas like Cowes, sanremo, Flinders etc.

I have a 55lb on a 4.2m and its not enough in wpb.
Everywhere else it's fine.
