Fishing tips
Hehe funny
Yup silver trevally as FR mentioned - “Pseudocaranx dentex“.
Incredible sport for their size, anything over 5kg in NZ is a trophy fish (I think the record is near 10). The one in the photo was about 3.5kg.
They are a much longer and narrower shaped fish compared with GT’s or bluefin trevally.
Last time I fished offshore was 3 years ago and I caught this small trevally. I don’t even know what type it was.
Thats a juvenile Golden Trevally.
Okay. Fin colour I assume.
Sharked yesterday afternoon off a popular rockwall

Nice work two thirds of a Jewy is better than none at all.

That would have been a beast of a jewie too.
Thats a bummer- haven't been sharked for a while- last time I managed to just get it in before shark got it.
coffey break on youtube is a great watch if anyone wants to get pumped on fishing
Yeah, awesome adventure for those gents.
Love the surf they had on the GBR.

I only just managed to stop it on its first run, and was inching it back when it got sharked
If it had another run, I reckon I might have gotten spooled
was using 25lb braid and a 5 -7kg rod
On a lure?
OK, so I want to try my hand at fishing. I have a couple of rods and reels, and an assortment of stuff in a shiny tackle box (Chrissy present from a few years back). I've got salt water and fresh water options close at hand (Narrabeen). But, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
Can anyone offer me some pointers? I'd really like to impress the missus.
