nice one mate are you getting them on live bait? i've been experimenting and had no touches on hardy heads. mullet and herring are far and few between. prawns are always a goer though.

[hooked_on_trout]

They must bite on the incoming out near the mouth..

I had a fish tonight on the incoming and never lost a bait with live prawns and mullet.

Dam after reading this post Im pumped and Im going out again to fish the outgoing in the mid river.

Cheers

nice fish wes good to see the releases. steve and I went for a late fish found a floating thready without a tail lol , pics are uploading now. it was around 90-100cm at a guess, very bloated and a shark had bitten the tail off around the caudal wrist, had been floating around for a while.

nothing else had touched it quite strange and also strange that the shark didn't take any more, not sure what it was thinking trying to have a chew on the tail fins

[snapsnap]

bloody hell nice fish!! well done

cheers steve , much appreciated, keen to see some info on how far they move. fishing heavier is making the battle very short so they are coming up green and full of energy.

[elops]

Have only been fishing heavy myself lately when targeting them, good to have the heavy rod if a big jewie latchs on too.

Yes they can be pretty lively, had one flip off the deck and straight over the side in one jump when swapping from the jaw grip to the nerve hold. Had a lot less barotrauma issues too.

my thready stick is the one i was swimming the chief with yesterday steve, 12-25lb loomis IMX calcutta 250dc with 30lb

can stop a 1m+ from going anywhere near the deep, if the hooks can handle it :cheer:

when i fish for them i don't work the deep areas and don't allow them to run to the deep either so no barotrauma

[tugger]

nice 1 wes very golden looking thready mate

the ones i got way up river still had tthe air bladder issue and they came out of 1-3mtrs of water, it can happen when they over excert themselves as well.

[smitty]

Great work, the heavy line looks like the way to go for a successful release, hope you guys can put some tags in. long live the threadfins!

[bay_basher]

wesfish you are the thready whisperer im sure!!

[ALO]

i agree

Time out of the water seems to increase it too I have noticed Wes, have been working fast as possible on the big girls.

in the last few sessions they have been on silver biddies, mullet and prawns. nice and livelykicking and pulsing on the end of the line. and move them around a bit seem to work.

you are the thread guru wes
