Paul - No worries, cheers Paul. I'll try come into the shop over the next couple weeks for a yarn. Have the FADs been deployed yet? I was thinking of becoming a member of the Perth Game Fishing Club, membership is $110 a year. Apparently everyone does good up to date current updates on their website, I'm sure some of the members there would be invaluable to someone who is pretty green at getting really far out wide, like me. Most of my demersal spots are within 5-7km off the west end of rotto, so it's that bit further again.
Brett - I don't know whether to be slightly concerned about all the northern species in Perth Metro waters, or really excited? Funny you mention the Red Throats I had a couple in my freezer since before the ban, cooked em up last night. Actually weren't too bad after being frozen for at least a couple months.
Excuse my ignorance (I have done virtually 0), what size rod do you use for the Tigers off the beach, specifically length? I assume you are using an overhead of some description for line capacity? I have only ever ballooned a couple times, both times resulting in a filthy Ray (Leighton Beach). Actually caught more small sharks there just fishing for Taylor. Fishing is amazing, you think you have somewhat mastered one form yet there's another 1000 ways to catch a fish, everyone needs more research, more gear, more planning and more trying!
