While you had the fish on for awhile, did you feel any headshakes or was it just peeling line off in a straight line?Scozziefish71 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:42 pmYes, I was really targeting Bream but I have encountered two massive fish now and haven't seen a glimpse of either.Lightningx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 7:32 pmMaybe next time take a heavier setup for this mystery fish mate?
I am now starting to think it's some sort of Ray as the weight is tremendous and it just stripped line from my reel so easily , even after I adjusted the tension.
Both fish on full moon and both right before the Warmies boat ramp on the opposite side.

Could be a big snapper or mulloway.

Re: Warmies visit and Massive unknown fish again.
When it took I could feel big body shakes but then it just headed straight for the middle and kept taking line, I just couldn't turn it or stop it. My rod was absolutely doubled.Lightningx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:56 pmWhile you had the fish on for awhile, did you feel any headshakes or was it just peeling line off in a straight line?Scozziefish71 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:42 pmYes, I was really targeting Bream but I have encountered two massive fish now and haven't seen a glimpse of either.Lightningx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 7:32 pmMaybe next time take a heavier setup for this mystery fish mate?

I might get a larger reel and rod set up and try for whatever it is, it has taken a Month between the two hookups though.

Re: Warmies visit and Massive unknown fish again.
Who knows mate but it just laughs at my 3-5kg Bream gear.
Re: Warmies visit and Massive unknown fish again.
I always wishful think my "fish that got away". With what has been said, there is a decent hopeful chance it could be either a Snapper or a Mulloway (trying to steer away from the Ray hypothesis).
Any head shakes would help steer it towards it being a Snapper but I haven't heard of any doing a solid 2 min initial run. That point may steer it towards being a Mulloway. But if I had 2 less Daniels tonight, that would have steered me towards saying it might be a Ray

Every now and then I go there and flick plastics, usually near the boat ramp.

Re: Warmies visit and Massive unknown fish again.
Z lock 1/16 or 1/12 and 1/0, I have only caught pinkies on the channel side, all Bream on the Warmies side but they seem to be gone just now.Seb85 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 9:02 amEvery now and then I go there and flick plastics, usually near the boat ramp.
