Looks like no powertails were caught over the weekend judging by the lack of posts.
They sure are an elusive fish. Maybe next weekend ...

Nice Powertail
Not so matt. I searched far and wide in the blue water off Darwin and managed to find some awesome Powertail action at South Gutter. This beauty engulfed a squid bait at the north western end of the gutter. I called it for a nice GT but changed my mind as I felt its powerfull runs. This 'racing' powertail gave a good fight on my Shimano Torium and T-Curve combo running 50lb braid. It was released to breed and fight another day.

We got 2 beauties at Sampan friday trolling. We thought we struck gold a few other occasions,unfortunaetly they ended up being stinking barra. The powertails were teasing us out the front of sampan,rolling on top of the water all morning,must of sited 20-30 of them.
When my mate sends the dvd back up we taped of the first powertail,I'll put it up. The shear jubilation shown by us when we realised it was a magestic powertail and not a vermon horse barra,well the scenes had to be seen to be believed!

Nuts
You guys are nuts. Pure enjoyment reading your posts. I managed to land a whopper at Corroboree last year during the secret womens comp. Don't have the photos though, there down in my cell at Albatraz. I have managed to catch a couple of the deep sea variety, for what thay are, PT do put up a good fight. Ellen Kerr

Re: The elusive powertail
We had 2-3 landed on Sunday but they were small ones.... and we didn't want to hurt these magestic creatures so we released them back into the blue ASAP even before I could get a picture of them. What a lovely fish they areMatt Flynn wrote:Looks like no powertails were caught over the weekend judging by the lack of posts.
