Thanks :)

yeah hopefully that is the case, I have heard of the biodegradable balloons but have also heard conflicting info about how 'biodegradable' they actually are. I guess more biodegradable than plastic.....

Yeah haven't done it yet....will try get it together :)

Yeah I have a well maintained reliable 4 stroke on a boat with a lot of buoyancy and I pick my days carefully to go out. Been to the Mokes twice now as well. Went trolling recently between Hen & Chicks & Poor Knights, did about 200km....

Will try my best not to be annoying 😄

A great day indeed

sorry not sure what you mean...

The tides are controlled mostly by the moon phases (full moon, new moon etc). Here is a link to the science (National Geographic) education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/cause-effect-tides/ 'Forces that contribute to tides are called tidal constituents. The Earth’s rotation is a tidal constituent. The major tidal constituent is the moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth. '

Just stills unfortunately, no video :(

Hmmm I honestly cant explain it any more simply than I have.....I suggest you set up your rod/reel/leader like the rig in the video at 1:10 then, take the clip that is attached to the balloon and clip it to the mainline above the leader. That is the set up.

They dont come along very often, it really was one to remember :)

Great day, I was super happy to have been able to experience it with my son and see him get hooked on topwater...

@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches yeah, anyone can catch a snapper

yep pretty much

depends on how rocky the area is that you're fishing, how likely you are to encounter a big fish and how shy the fish are - 40lb would be a good start. If you are fishing in a spot that has a lot of pressure during the day then maybe go down to 30lb if you're not getting much action. In the Far North in remote spots where Im likely to encounter big fish I use 60lb.

Thanks, will try get some more up over the Xmas break

Good luck - hope it goes well....

Yeah no problem at all, Ive caught stacks of kahawai on mono. The good thing about mono is that it has some stretch so when the fish jumps and tries to throw the lure the line will help cushion the shock a bit and reduce the risk of the hook pulling or line snapping.

Sure was...amazing who you run into out on the water :)

pretty much auto depth & auto sensitivity but sometimes I have to play around with the sensitivity if there's a lot of salps /eggs/stuff in the water.

@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches cheers for that any particular chirp you use high/low ?

Hmmm high from memory

Yes they are good mid level topwater reels. The drag/high gear ratio is designed for topwater. If you are expecting to encounter 25kg+ kings over shallow reefs then you will need heavy PE8 line and a higher rated reel but for 20M+ depths and kings up to 20kg they will do the job.

Would be interested to see that set up - can you post a link?

Yeah that reel's designed specifically for top water and chasing pelagics, you should slay a few with that reel. Dont know what your budget is but the Saltist Hyper 9'6" PE 4-6 rod could be a good match for off the stones...

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have heard it has a similar effect, where there are strong currents the energy expended will still be on the high side so the food demands will also be high and so will the feeding...

@@DIGITALFISHContentthatcatches Okay thank you for the reply

yes it sounds like it would work although it depends on the rod's action as well. you could use the smaller jigs just fine.

Yes, Inox. It's good for helping prevent rust/corrosion. Wash with fresh water and then dry and spray with Inox.
