Default Skip the ice, let’s go billfishing.

In keeping with the thread, another update. By that I mean, I’ve posted after every outing, not just the success or instagram gold as some do.

Yesterday the little man and I took one of his school mates out for some crabs. We dropped three dillies. During the ~45 min wait we tried a few drifts. The boys struck fishing with bait, I picked up two tuskies, a grinner and this coronation trout on the new jigging outfit.



Then we pulled the three dillies and managed 37 legal crab. I never did a full count but it would of been 50+




The other day I picked up another man sized tiagra. Came with a 100m, 300lb mono topshot and ~2700 meters of 300lb hollow core braid.

Serious bit of kit for large billfish, next to the 30 I typically fish.











Or a 2500 spinning reel.




Not sure if I should mount it on a rod or the front of my truck.
