nah mate if your in a 2400 kevlacat and its getting uncomfortable u head in pretty quick.they aint the ususal wannabe offshore boats to be in..give ya an idea a normal trip i sit on 30odd knts comming in we didn't get over 23knts while offshore..also the pics where takin when we where between green and st hellena in sheltered water not offshore.

haha I thought the conditions looked to good to be true in the photos. I would not have had my boat out in those conditions. Well done

[pancakes_and_haggis]

Fair enough, awesome session though.

Nice work Rosco

Another awesome sess. You have the 33s worked out well

Soo Would you consider trading that mark for a Stella 5000sw haha.( did that guy get back to you from fish wreck, i offered him $350 lol). I want to get one too as a all rounder reel.

Hows your stradic fj? Burnt a drag yet. Put carbontex in it. Makes it so much better.

[rosco1974]

nah not yet mate only used it twice.will happin soon no doubt...not that keen on it really might get ride of it soon..the 6.2 ratio on it is a bit to high for floatlining when bringing up solid fish..yeah mate get me a stella 5000 and the marks yours,lol

[Shane69]

Yeah the mid high speed shimano range are not that good for floatlining. I used to use my stradic fj at first, landed some good fish on it and than started getting smoked to much. Now i just use it for spinning slugs. Does the job well for mackerel n tuna.

Same goes for sustain 5000, not that good for floatlining. Thats why i got rid of mine.

Daiwa 3500 n 4000 reels are good. I use my heartland n certate hd for floatlining now. 300 meters of 30lb braid ungraded drags and knobs matched up to terezs. Nice and light too.

Try finding a good certate hyper custom 4000. 1 went on fishing monthly for $400 few weeks back i nearly got it but got too much gear lol. Next up will be stella 5000 sw. Im going to get rid of my 4000p ocea jigger too. Nice reel but i never get to use it properly.

cheers rosco

Great session, nice to nail the plan. I reckon when you don't have much bait and you have to really concentrate you do catch more fish.

[rosco1974]

nah bennno u dont have to concentrate when u floatline pillies the snapps just smash them and its pretty hard to drop too many fish.prob 9 out of 10 u will land.
