i see you have caught a tail at rookranz, can you tell us what tackle is the best suited for the spot? eg, log rod or short rod? what type of spoon?
relax! stealing with the eyes is the best way . my tackle is 10ft exage 30sl or 50sl daiwa with 16kg and a variety of plugs and spinners.LOTS of drinking water. as for the hard work Ledge has got it summed up.there are lucky times that one could catch more than one in a day and there are seasons that you catch nothing at all.the best tip is to bring protection against the elements (weather)Whaler wrote:OK, so no tips then? i'l have to come do it the hard way!

Ive heard that there are some huge bronzies swimming around there!@oceanhunter - I have been there once, about march this year. Boy did we have fun ! We did exactly that, slid out yellowtail heads !!
