What sort of gear did you use for the doggies?

G-LOOMIS · Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 4:50 pm Post subject: what gear we used.

The suprise stand out combo as far as value for money was a t-curve 200 spin with okuma v80 reel loaded with 80lb braid, handled everything and cost about $600 comes with spare spool and bits as well. but reelteaser has quality gear that u can use top of the range stuff stellas and i think they are getting some saltiga dogfights atm.

tackle wise : stickbaits,poppers in the morning then upto 400 gram knife jigs big plastics and arrow head jigs with scrounger tails,big raider jigs worked well also.

Did you lose many fish to the kevlar being bit through on your hooks when you were using jigs?

G-LOOMIS · Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:13 am Post subject: bite thru

didnt loose too many because of kevlar but did run wire leader to a swivel after a few where bitten off. great fun thou and a better action with just the 150kg leader rather than wire...but it didnt seem to matter at times when the schools came thru....

AS FOR THE SHIRTS I GOT THEM MADE IN DARWIN BY JOSH @ BIGFISH GRAPHICS IN WINNELLIE. THE MARLIN ON THE SHIRT IS FROM A ROWLEY SHOALS TRIP A FEW YEARS BEFORE.....EST 250KG ON 24KG STAND UP GEAR, IF THE MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY.

Yep Ross is an excellent skipper for sure, we hit the Rowley Shoals in 2008 and had a blast! Can't recommend them highly enough.

Also Cassini Island off the Kimberley with Darwin Bluewater Charters - 30kg+ GTs in 1m of water, plus sailfish, marlin, blacklip oysters, barramundi, mud crabs, crays, unlimited reef fish, big macks on poppers, and so many fish at times you have to take the hooks off your lures to have a break, and tease them for fun.

hehe, you Darwin crew need to stop crossing borders and leave all that wonderfull WA fishing to us local boys :grin:
