Super Deep Yesterday!
With yesterday’s forecast looking good’ish I thought I’d take staff member Callum out to search for some new super deep spots. The easterly was stiffer than forecasted (surprise!) and I was told the FADS were coming in next week so a quick fish there to get a fresh feed would be nice!
We turned up to the FAD and straight away dolphinfish and not bad sizes also. I grabbed my fly rod and within seconds I had them climbing all over my fly and hooked up. I landed my dolly and then Callum spun a Big Johns chartreuse nylon banana jig and again straight away he hooked up and what a great fight also on 10lb spin gear!
Okay we had a fresh feed of dollys (I don’t like freezing them) and left them on the bite. I headed off and started my recon work and after a little while my Furuno sounder lite up and I said to Callum you drop first!
He rigged up some Qualy squid that we’re now stocking and it’s a descent size and durable. Within seconds Callum hooked up to something solid which had me calling it for a good bass groper. After a long wind up (all manual) his fished surfaced and it was a solid bass weighing 26.3kg on digital scales!
I dropped next and hooked up also and landed a nice bass groper. I said your turn next again and Callum dropped and hook up quickly but he said the fight was different and after another long wind up he landed a double headed of Hapuku …. nice!
We had bagged out and the wind had just started to back off so perfect timing to head in and what a great day on the water. All the gear I use including my custom made Super Deep rig we stock and if your needing help with any super deep info my staff are always happy to help, cheers Ryan

Johnny, yeh mate I will organise for sure .... overdue
Thanks Soupy
haha Ricey all that is correct but not "little drive" .... loooong drive =>
It wasnt always that easy, I've done shit load of super deep trips over the many years to learn and understand everything it takes to crack the code .... pays off
