Beach Fishing - Exmouth
Submitted by Scott129 on Tue, 2018-01-02 22:05
Hi Guys,
Looking for advice on what setups to use for beach fishing in Exmouth.
Trying to target sharks mainly for a bit of fun and just wondering what is a good size line to use? Mono or braid? Size and length or trace?
Will also be having a go at using a shimano TLD 25 with a short beast master rod and casting with a drone. Have done a couple of tests around perth and it works well so far. Is there any reason why for this setup i couldnt go 100lb braid with 150lb trace? Was thinking of going overboard on the setup and just adjust drag as necessary in the hope that we loose nothing.
Any suggestions as to why this is a bad idea?
Thanks, Scott

not much point putting 100lb
not much point putting 100lb braid on a tld, the reel can't put down enough drag smoothly and won't survive very long.. Talica 12 with 80lb braid and 5m leader of 200lb would be better

I’ve had a few tld’s fail.
I’ve had a few tld’s fail. The main gear is pressed onto the main shaft and this lets go. Great reel for the money but they don’t like high drags.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Ok cheers guys for the
Ok cheers guys for the advice. I already have a 2 rolls of 100lb mono that i may use instead of getting any braid.
Anyone know what length of 100lb mono would fit a TLD25?
Also do you suggest a 5m leader of wire trace at 200lb?
Thanks

Tld 25 30lb trilene 600
Tld 25 30lb trilene 600 yards
50lb 350yards
100lb 150 yards 175 maybe if you were lucky braid and top shot best bet for that size reel

TLD 25
if you need to go mono go 50lb max on a TLD 25 the drag wont be effective with 100lb mono and youll only get 120m?ish on there , best bet go into Bluewater Morley and get some 80lb bulk braid spooled on it 400m for about $60 - 70 ish if i remember correctly then run a 150lb mono leader of 4-5m down to a couple of metres of 200-250lb wire and a decent circle hook , not the most effective sharking outfit but it will be fun ! did plently of similar fishing when i was a bit younger.

I'd go 50lb braid with a short topshot of mono, should get around 700m of line on the reel

Ok think I'll go 50lb braid
Ok think I'll go 50lb braid with a long 100lb topshot. This is all stuff the old man has already so won't have to buy anything and i think he only has about 300m of 50lb braid hence a long mono topshot.
Hoping to get 150-200m out with the drone so will need as much as i can fit if i get something decent that wants to go for a run.
Thanks again guys for the tips. I definitely needed them.
