Hi Ryan,

many thanks for sharing with us this nice report and pictures. My congratulations to your captures. What tackle do you use? It seems for me that it is very light tackle, isn´t it? But, ok with light tackle you have a lot of fun.

Best wishes,
uwe

Uwe -yes it is light tackle - small spinning stick loaded with 15lb braid.
I throw very light artificial baits on this outfit to sighted fish - just about all of our fishing is done on sight so it is very exciting stuff and the bigger the fish the wilier they are.
They are very difficult to catch.
A small cat of 10 - 12kgs can take up to 20 mins to get to the boat....
