to mr swordfish than ive ever been yesterday. We were far enough out! But i did hook and drop something with serious power. Emptied the electric and headed for the horizon. At no point did we gain anything. Ended sadly with a leader bust off at the swivel. Who knows what it was?? Shark, ray, swordy, Colins class?
I would recomend seeing taylor marine harro. Depending on what hull you have will determin what transducer to run. I have the dual set up through a splitter box. Works well through to the 600's
Did your sounder struggle a bit to hold bottom in the sloppy conditions ? I was in the 320 -420m mark yesterday, plenty of activity but only managed the green eyes and a 6ft whaler shark
Great fish Tony! Got to be one of the best tasting fish I've ever eaten, almost melts in your mouth! Would love to have seen that one come to the surface.
running with it was good but running back over the marks was difficult. The trevalla was beast! It took over 15 minutes to the boat. Solid runs back to the bottom. Fought all the way. The tanacom was well toastie after, which makes me think a command 8-10 could be next?
yeah got a southbound bro, plate ally, back transom mount, think petes done a water test and A ok atm, but wouldnt of gone to deep , do you run the 260? the specs recomend it , i was gonna go the 295 but chose the cheaper option as i got the sonic hunb and new radios and gas seats put on, , mrs aint seen the bill yet, come to think of it , i havent either lol, go a cple of 12v connectors put in port side for 2 x elec reels under the gunnel, tucked away, who sells the best elecs ?? in perth, etc

Awesome fish Tony. I remember
Awesome fish Tony. I remember last week talking to you about needing to crack a Trevalla.
Btw, you should also crack a ruby, broady and winter blue marlin. (Can I expect results next week?)
Gonna have a crack at guessing the depth: >100m? Am I right? lol

Nice
Nice deepwater fish. Looks like a reasonable day out on the water as well.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Swordfish
I guess you could claim it nearly......
. Enough time spent out there and you'll crack it I have no doubt.

congrats Tony, plenty of time
congrats Tony, plenty of time and fuel has gone into that one. Did you find a loner or some potential holding ground?
Pity about the unstoppable too, it always irks my when I lose a good fish I don't get to ID first.

yeah Tim
Miles of very little then the sounder lights up. We had 2 good fish and headed for home.
Never noticed that conrad! It didnt look like it, probly damage from the rig.
Tasted great too! It had a creamy taste to the flesh with a unique flavour.
