Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Up here in Northland, I use a 3 - 6kg rod, 2500 reel, 10lb braid and 15lb leader. I'm not the only one using light gear and we pull out donkey snapper all the time. As for reel care, I do a low pressure wash down, followed by drying and some reel oil when I can be bothered. Never had a problem with corrosion. Penn have produced some IPX-rated reels. I have one and it's decent, if heavy. As my Shimanos die, I will replace them.

Interesting , as in some parts of the world, WD40 was banned as a bait additive in competition fishing, due to its effectiveness

It was banned but never proven to be effective....plenty of inconclusive tests on utube.

I think it was more to do with putting petrochemicals in the water.

Seems the bronze whalers are in force at my local land based spot, quite successfully claiming kingis from anglers on the regular, one even came up onto the rocks to seize its prize while it was being traced.... hungry buggers alright.

My mate had a proper unpleasant tussle with a big bronzie last weekend. He thought it was game over, but was OK. Two other “shark attacks” reported in the media on the north island that weekend. All the divers were spear fishing.

I, like you miss those shows...

TV is just so full of rubbish these days, I've practically given up.

You tube has some interesting views tho.

.......So @Gibo was that caught in the harbor / mariner, or dragged in or just looks like it has. Which ever it was, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be testing water temp with my toes around there
