hey everyone

i have seen all these these photos of great thready's being caught off the Bretts Wharf

jetty.

i have been there 2 times and had live prawns and herring out on 20 pound braid with a 20 pound trace.

i was just wondering if anyone has any advice for me so i can land one off these great fish.

thank you all

paul

maybe a down size in tackle, say 10lb braid and 15lb fluro leader, but for me thats still overkill. i prefer to go as light as poss and i have found that 4lb-8lb braid and 8lb-12lb fluro leader is more then enough for a good fun and clean fight

i know the lighter you go the more fun you have but how many of these fish are we losing because the fight has gone too long? maybe a bit heavier tackle and it will shorten the fight and some more of theses awesome fish will swim to fight again

couldn't agree more... if you are planning on releasing them fish heavier and release them quickly. i couldn't get one to swim which was taken on 6lb line and fought for 15 minutes and was forced to keep it.
