howdy crew
couple pics from yesty, they all fell to freshly caught bait while other fisho's watched & wondered from nearby. using 2 x 7/0 or 8/0 gamakatsu circles on 1.5m 60lb leader with running sinker. all fish hooked by applying slow pressure & not striking. those who striked didn't hook up

Ole Red don't look to happy in the first pic. The circles are a different kettle of fish (no pun) to regular hooks. I'm hooked (pun intended) on them.

You get some good Reds down there that's for sure.

My dream for shure as all i chase is reds up in brisbane bay and still no big knobby for me yet but you get em down there to. I thought we were the only ones to get the big knobs. I have been annoying my wife for years and we will be there very soon.
