Had my first trip offshore with the soft plastics saturday week ago.I was fishing with 14lb braid and was smoked numerous times by freight trains.The fish i did get up where all good quality.I got my first snapper on plastics also a sweety and some moses perch.My mate got a couple of nice snapper on livies(cheating)and he managed to land one of the freight trains(kingy)which we released.
Cheers leigh
