Poensie mission @ Cinsta

FLUKE

Sealiner
I managed to get a gap on Saturday night to do something I've been wanting to do for years and that was fish Cinsta point for Black Steenbras. I first had to twist Wades arm. He didn't trust my choice of spot and was swaying towards a party instead:fbash eventually common sense prevailed and he decided to go to Cinsta and the mission was on.

We got there an hour before dark and the Big Eyes were wild and stripped our chokka blob baits long before the Blues could find them. I did hook one of them and I tossed it in a pool for later.

As it got dark I reeled in to change my crab that had not been found by a Silver and put on an octopus bait. Next thing I hear Wade shout that he is on and after a decent pull he lands a beautiful specimen of a Black Steenbras that weighed in at 5,1Kg. After helping him land it I'm back to my rods to freshen up the baits. Before long Wade is in again and this time it is a 150cm Spotted Gully. Unfortunately I haven't got pics of his fish but I'll try get them.

:fswim:fswimNow I'm wondering why it is that I have to convince him to come and then he gets all the bites:ifishin so I decide it's time to guarantee myself the next bite:spite:spite so I grab the Big Eye, put a Ryoichi 6/0 Soi 3X through the top lip and cut the tail off. Before long I hear that beatiful sound of a Finnor 20 Ratchet over the sound of the waves::S I set the hooks and lean into a solid Spotted Gulley of 161cm.

I then switch back to octopus to try for an elusive Black but not even the pushing tide brought one for me. The brown shysharks were becoming a nuisance but eventually my last cast produced a fair striped catshark of 96cm. At least I've convinced Wade that there are poensies to be caught;)

My last contribution to the young guns, not exactly finishing on a high note:fbash:fbash

Nice catches! I want to try target a sweet william on a 6ft braid setup? Can it be done??

Can be done JP but u gonna battle unless that 6ft got some gass. I landed a decent one kindof the other morn on my 9ft spinning setup. The hook pulled cause it had opened up when we tried to hold it on the leader. Awesome rev tho.

Also landed a solid one on my 8ft spinning setup. Wow that was hectic.

Mmmm!!!! anything can be done but you'll lose a lot more than you land.

I landed a 10kg one on 9ft dropshot tackle with 10lb Fireline and it was a rev and a bigger one could be handled, a 20kg is my goal on that tackle. I use a 3mtr 80lb braid leader. 

The problem with a 6ft set up is getting a big enough bait into the zone and also casting a heavy enough braid leader through the guides on a 6ft rod. Then pick your spot very carefully!! You will need to find a place where you can get them over flat reef. Chum with some chokka, wings and guts. I've had them come into knee deep water on several occassions after cleaning a Squid etc.

@Aqua, check out buffels bay beach at cpt reserve . They come in super shallow there and there's not much structure . Sardine or mullet head does the trick. Nice report @Fluke
