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?
Mudskipper ?

- used the head from the Jewy as crab bait
(First time for me setting a crab pot) - 6 good size mud crabs and 3 thrown bak
Wish I tried it years ago !
^^wow @supa
You’d never think they’d make it.
Latest Coffey Break is good. Hunkered down chats and Dad almost goes the full Monty.
Stop it Dad, you’re brickie’s crack is bad enough.
Watched that last night another great episode, both starting to look a bit tired though.
JE Wilds has a few fishing eps worth giving a go.

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.
