I just took delivery of a 500yd 65lb spool and it's so much thinner than I imagined. They do advertise it as 25% thinner than regular PP braid, but I wasn't prepared for how thin it is in reality. I put it next to the Super Slick 40lb on my 'Gosa and the Maxcuatro seems thinner than the SS...

Hello All, I have the opportunity to travel to Congo for a week next year in June/July (which I understand is the best time) to try for a Goliath. This is something I've wanted to do for ages and things are shaping up finally. I have done tons of research, so I've pretty much covered whatever...

I've ranted in a few posts about my frustrations with the Indo Pacific Permit and it's taken me almost 2 full seasons to finally reach some kind of parity with these wily fish. My last session hunting for permit was a couple of days back, with bait. On that particular day I found a new spot...

Before I moved to Salalah I tried to do as much research as possible on the destination from a fishing point of view and came up short for the most part. I even contacted a few fairly well known anglers who had been here and got cold shouldered (no names here). The country is still off the main...

Monsoon season is finally coming to an end and I haven't been out fishing for 2 months, so I got up early this morning and went for a throw. The sea was still quite rough by local standards and the water very murky, but I found some birds working off a point and got a small bonnie on a spoon...

Thanks to the Sealine Admin team for "promoting" me to a fully fledged Sealiner! It's an honour indeed. ::slr::

Not really sure where this thread would fit in, so I thought I'd keep it in this general section. Having read Ray11's thread about his nightmare experience with Akios, I got to wondering if perhaps Sealine management could / should consider adding a section dedicated to tackle dealers. The...

Dennis Verreet, the legendary LBG angler landed the unofficial world record yellowfin tuna off the rocks in Aus a couple of weeks back. For those who haven't seen it already, check out the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmJD-RsVJnI

I came across this video on YouTube and immediately thought of the die hard fly fishers who spend hours searching for the ultimate grunter fly pattern... ....perhaps this is it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUeVvxdKtS4

I posted this originally in the bass forum, but the bass guys are either too hardcore or they're all hibernating, 'cause I got zero response ha ha! I think these videos are worth watching, I hope someone else also enjoys it... Hi guys, I'm no bass angler, but I do enjoy fly fishing. Most of...

Hi guys, I'm no bass angler, but I do enjoy fly fishing. Most of you have probably heard of GeoBass, if not, have a look at these two links. There's plenty more on YouTube, but these are two of my favourite fishing vids. Thought I'd share it here, 'cause if all bass were this nasty I'd spend a...

I'm looking at buying a 14 - 18k size reel to tackle larger pelagics and use off boats after GT's and so forth. The Stella is an obvious contender, but I've also been toying the idea of a ZeeBaas ZX2 series. The main reasons for thinking of the ZB reels is that they are waterproof and my reels...

I set a couple of fishing goals for myself for 2015; first on the list was a 10kg+ queenfish, which I was exceptionally fortunate to land on 2 January for an awesome start to the fishing year. Since it happens to be shad season over here I thought I'd focus next on another goal for the year: a...

With the rather inclement weather in Salalah the last while and work being very hectic I started getting cabin fever and went out this morning, even though the forecast was not great. I reckoned it would be good to get some fresh air for a change and didn't expect much. Turned up at my spot and...

Went for a short early morning session this morning, got there an hour before sunrise, water was calm, good temperature, pushing spring tide, no wind etc. Basically it was one of those days when I just felt anything could happen. Got a small kingie to kick off the session, then quiet for a...

Went down to one of my favourite spots a couple of days back and had a pretty awesome day. Started fishing around 5am and found the shad (bluefish in these parts) out in force and landed 3 in my first three casts of the day, always a nice way to start... The shad were all of a similar size, I...

Hi All, The queenies are making an appearance round here and I've never fished for them before. Planning to throw bait and / or live bait for them. Any advice on rigs, bait presentations, favourite baits? Thanks in advance, Eugene

I've been searching for a while now for a rod to match either with a Saragosa or Stella 10k, to create a heavy spinning outfit that can handle big game fish from the side. I am more or less convinced that the Tiralejo is the answer, but I can't find any real reviews online...has anyone fished...

I just noticed I've been made a senior member, thank you Admin (whoever made that decision), I'm honoured.
