FFF Seadogs 2012 Round 8 - Billfish
FFF Seadogs 2012 Round 8 - Billfish kicks off on October 1
For this round the fish must have a tape held against it, tail fork to lower jaw, and photo submitted at full size so I can zoom in on the tape.
It's not going to be easy measuring them. I'll get special measures made next year if there are sufficient entries this year.
Here's how the overall FFF Seadogs comp works ... http://fishingterritory.com/seadogs-201 ... 28102.html

Re: FFF Seadogs 2012 Round 8 - Billfish
saw a couple last week, just need to encourage one to have a go this weekend!
If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!
Especially when you can see them!

Re: FFF Seadogs 2012 Round 8 - Billfish
nearly got one
had a big black, est 200-250kg eat my mack lure in the prop wash at Sail City on Friday.
Played him for an hour and 15, got him up abaout 15metres from the boat on the surface at one stage, got a few pics and video!!!
But the line parted not long after and he swam off.
If only he'd eaten one of the big pushers i had out for him on the bigger rods
always the way, dammit.

There were some nice sized Long Toms hanging around Stokes Hill Wharf last week, might be worth a look!
