Had a whole spread of baits out last week and the redbait didn’t get a touch! Gives me a bit of confidence to try it again. Nice schoolies.

Brave stance targeting string pullers in 140m water on a spin reel. Couldn’t of been much room for running. 😂 like your style

[@auslifeandy]

Yeah there wasn’t haha that’s why we had to back up, best get it re spooled as there’s not much on that slammer

[@benjohnstone4100]

I still can’t believe you ate that heart lol

[@auslifeandy]

Haha hope the tuna hearts taste better

[@yep.fishing]

What size gear were you using? Im trying to convince my old man to go out off Portland or Port Fairy. Love the Portland content :)

[@auslifeandy]

5500 slammer
35lb braid
60lb shock leader
see below for the rig itself 👍 8-10kg 8ft rod

[@benjohnstone4100]

so the rigs were 200lb mono, with 8/0 or 9/0 circle hooks, only reason I use such heavy trace is for the electric anything lighter you tend to lose a lot more then you get, if I was manual winding I have lighter rigs with 100lb mono and some wire droppers to stop us getting bitten off

When in Mexico do as the Mexicans do.😉
