Offshore fishing.

[Confused]

Hey boys and girls, Well some of you guys would be right into fishing the deeper waters off moreton ect. However the last few weeks heve produced some of the best conditions for offshore fishing i have seen in quite a while, while this is bliss for say deep tempest @ 80+m , i'm getting a little excited in venturing out a little further say 150m+ . With conditions as good as they were the other few weeks ago we could of skied at about 80klm/h around about 15-20 k's offshore which is rare to say the least, and if this continues i would like to hear any feedback from people who may of gone furture and just what is out there.

i usually fish the surface any deeper than 100m.

there are good fish to be had on the 200-300m line (shelf) but even with a thousand buck sounder like mine its not up to the job. doesn anyone actually want to wind a fish up from 300m, not me..

See the pic on my profile :whistle:, I caught them between Morton and Caloundra wide. So I don't think there's a need to go out further.

Master sardines...can't give you any advice except that when you go that far out you need someone with you for safety reasons and also to bait your hooks....I guess I would come if I really had to...would hate to see you get into any trouble by yourself:P :whistle:

Thank's bud, I'd take you out there if i still had my real boat. Just confined to smooth and part smooth water with a tinny now

That's a long way for a flathead;)

I fish up to 100m, 120 max. Reakon 200-300 is for big deck winches or those \"too bloody expensive for me\" electric reels.

Cheers Scott

Those electric reels are stupid. What's the fun in leaving the rod in the holder, pressing a button and waiting for the fish to come up.

[mackmauler]

most people dont consider 300m a fun depth to pull fish out of, ill keenly await your report cowfish, means to an end

I`m heading to Townsville for 2 weeks on Wednesday too fish, spearfish and bring my boat back. I`ll be chasing all sorts of reefys and palaegics inc. juvenile blacks. It`s new to me to hear about fishing such depths as you guys are speaking of. Back home my favourite secret spots are anywhere between 30 and 120 feet of water at the most. I catch some biggons too. I`m quite impressed with the quality of fish that you catch, Mackmauler. Can you tell me what depths I will need to get used to fishing in? Would you be good for a convoy fishing trip one day in the near future? I need someone knowledgable to show me around the ropes.
