Metro Tuesday

Headed out for a look tuesday as i wasnt going to let the good weather get away. The red arrows seem to few and far between at the moment. Lets hope march is a glass off! Anyways first drop paid out with decent GB. Second drift we picked up a 14kg trevalla which fought hard all the way from 300m to the surface.  There after we dropped a couple of fish and the action went to ground. Nothing from there on untill late in the arvo where we boated a snapper and a small GB. Had Manta ray circle the boat for a while but wasnt holding any cobes. Late in the arvo the pelagics seemed to turn on as we spotted numerous birds working bait on the way home. Spun one small yft and dropped one which felt much better. The little yft gave and impressive battle as at a guess a 3 meter whaler was hot on its tail all the way to the boat. All up a good day.

Nice one.

Out of interest, what's that spiral wrap rod there?

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

The rod..

 was a custom. Did a few last year. Love them but setting the guides takes some effort and tuning. Thats the lemax barbarion 40/50lb blank with pac bay titanium guides. Do they fully eliminate rod twist?? Not completely imo.

Conditions look OK to. What's your call on the fish showing on the sounder - trevalla?
I'm a little surprised no one has commented on the Hondex sounder. Not that I'm any judge but not a brand I was familiar with.
