That’s good they are known to read the riot act especially when near those precious fairy penguins.

After a brief fight on 24kg gear and calling it a king then a snapper, this bad boy appears on the surface. Approx 45cm of Silver Trevally, took a 30cm hood squid 2m under a balloon.

As always, please do not ask for information regarding the location. Happy to talk about techniques, conditions, tactics etc.

Yup, poppers, stickbaits, slugs, all creates surface noise, and we pick up a few baits that way.
