Went out to the reef today, caught a few nice trout, plenty of mack tuna on slugs, and threw some poppers in the shallow stuff. Bit quiet, but got a yellow-lip emperor, straightened some trebles on a solid trevor, and managed to land this one. Estimated around 10-12kg. Went like hell on 50lb braid in 6-8 feet of water.

cheers,

steve
