Good to see Doug not allowing himself to be double parked.
Quick question, with the baits, is the swivel enough to keep the twist out of your line? Also with the baits, does it just skip/slap on the surface like a skirt? I’m assuming that’s what you call skip bait? And what is the best trolling speed?
I was keen to come down and have a look, but I've been rushing to put the house back together before the first rains.
Also, I might be able to help someone out with a few small queenie's, there are a poop-tin in the harbour ATM.

Most baits shouldn't spin the occasional skipping gar tends to spin especially with a pusher type head in front .
Double parked ???

Your two beers in the photo. Double parked is normally a sign of a person unable to keep up in a shout.DOUG wrote:Most baits shouldn't spin the occasional skipping gar tends to spin especially with a pusher type head in front .

I haven't been seeing any reports of Billfish lately, has anyone raised any fish either out wide of Darwin or off Dundee?
