Submitted by Callum24 on Mon, 2014-09-15 20:03
A mate and i are headin over to the southern most island in a couple weeks, just chasin a bit of info on some lures or placstics that you have had sucsess on for dermersals, and would it be worth a troll for tuna or mackies or still a bit cold i did see it was up to 23 degrees in some spots so was thinkin it was a possibility?

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

Pirate and octo jigs will
Pirate and octo jigs will cover everything for demersals jig wise, maybe something longer and heavier if you come across sambos and amberjacks. 5 and 6inch Mccarthy Paddletails in the pearl colour and the biggest squidgie wrigglers, I think they are 140mm? 7inch Zman streakz will go nicely aswell, they last longer with charlie courts. Mackies and coral trout loved the maria bullchops when I was up there, dont be afraid to cast into 1ft of water over the reefs for some big trout.

good luck with the sharksI
good luck with the sharks
I have done maybe 30 trips, plus worked a few seasons there and I have never seen it so bad as the last trip a fortnight ago.
And we travelled to 3 of the 4 corners of the Sthn Group.
Hopefully just seasonal.
We got hammered as soon as we got there and I shoved the Gopro in the water to film a bronzie swimming past.
When I got the card out a few days back there were at 15 meandering around under us that we hadnt seen.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

chears boys beau what did you find the best jig heads for the z mans find they like to slide down a bit, if the sharks are around i'll be sticking to placies, bit cheaper but reall wanna try for a dermersal on a jig see how we go

I usually just use the nitro jigheads. Take some superglue with you if it becomes too much of a problem
