If you go down to BCF or where ever, have a look at the metal lure range. Since you are landbased you'll be able to cast far, and these are proven catching weapons. Anything like the Knight lures (http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/products/default.aspx?pid=314216#Description) also, the spanyard lures are good, halcos, the list goes on. The bigger they get, then the more expensive. But other wise, I think they are relatively cheap.

Good luck (hope this helped a bit)

Grab a selection of chrome slugs, 20, 40 and 60 gram. You can cast them out nice and far, Nd don't be afraid to catch big fish on small slugs, it's all about matching the baitfish in the area

thanks tugger , the retrieval method was my next question , do you think my gear is good enough to handle what im chasing?

[tugger]

Plenty big enough for mackerel etc

ive also caught long tail tuna down there, but the gear i used to have was never good enough to stop them, hope this new gear does better
