    Our first YF on the 12 mile

    Small, but for me it's a start! Ran to the 12 Mile bank off Struis on Monday - looking to get some bonnies for bait for the upcoming rock and surf interclubs. Water was 20.8 degrees, but very little bird action. Only about 5 boats out there - we got a few bonnies, but things were very slow...

To be honest I haven't had a proper look at where the water is coming in, and I'm not looking to fix, but replace (I assume once there's been...

    Hi guys Don't know if this is something I must just live with, or is there anything that will help. I generally run 5 bungees with yamashita squids (20m long), with two rods on the outside, normally snake spinners (a la Miles's guide for dummies). However, sometimes I run Rapalas on the...
