Super Deep Yesterday!
With yesterday’s forecast looking good’ish I thought I’d take staff member Ben out to search for some new super deep spots. The water was flat as on the way out which makes a huge difference when you venturing out so far!
Once out in the Super Deep depths I started looking around doing recon work and after a little while my Furuno sounder lite up and I said to Ben they look like Bass and you drop first!
Ben rigged up some Qualy squid that we’re now stocking and it’s a descent size and a durable bait. It didn’t take long for Ben to hook up to something solid which had me calling it for a good bass groper. After a long fight (all manual wind up) his fish surfaced and it was a solid bass groper which gave Ben a good work out haha!
I dropped next and hooked up also and landed a nice bass groper (awesome start). I said your turn next again Ben and whilst he was knackered after his first fish he dropped again and hook up and landed another bass ….. nice!
I dropped again for the last fish of the day and hook a bigger bass and what a fight. They don’t call them Bull Dozer of the sea for no reason and all fish were between 26 -32kg. We headed in at 40 knots which made for a great finish to the day (Happy Days).
Having the right gear and information makes this super deep fishing more productive and enjoyable, My shop specializes in Super Deep fishing so if you’re wanting more info on rods, reels, braid, gimbal belts, super deep jigs, custom super deep rigs, bait, what to look for etc pop in and see my staff Ben & Callum ….. They are always happy to help!
Cheers

Perks!
Thanks Chris, yeh my staff put in the extra effort and it works two ways. That particular day he was paid to be at the shop working but I took him out fishing instead ..... he was very appreciative!.
As for the Super deep, it wasnt always that easy but cracking the code makes all the difference but that taken aloooong time
As for the squid pic ... haha yeh they do look like livies but dead baits .... the super deep species woof the bait whole and you get your bait back most often =>

Well done Ryan & Ben
Yep, Its proved once more you have it, the knowledge and expertise to find drop and bring up the goods once more. Well done guys. Was it only the Bass that you found during the recon or did you find some of the Hapuka or Grey Band as well? I ask that confident that you know what you are looking at on the sounder Ryan!!!!

Thanks for posting the great pics
Always look forward to pictures of what resides in the deep stuff of the coast, they are very much appreciated.
When you are fishing in 250 - 300 metres of water approx. how much line do you have out, and do fish this size take much line on a "run".

meglodon,

Say in 300m you might have 350m out (depending on current & drift etc that can change). Being a vertical fight with heavy drag the bigger fish like Bass take a small burst of line but no runs!
Thanks Russ, yes plenty of fillets and good to see you back on here mate
Cheers
