Generaly Blue-eye Trevalla are caught in 300-500 (Can vary)

Generaly Hapuku are caught in 250-400 (Can vary)

Good luck with the new boat and getting amongst the Super Deep species.

Super Deep

No probs mate, Ryan did say that you can get Hapuku down South sometimes in shallower water ie just inside the 200m edge but more so deeper.

Agree with Ryan however I Have got a spot off perth where i have got eight bar cod in 52 fathoms, It is generally smaller fish at that depth ,that being said they are still bloody big and tasty too.

walpole

when you get sorted out as in purchase , get used to sounding very deep i can point you in some good areas around walpole mate, pass on some numbers for cod

apart from that south of cowaramup the shelf is a shorter drive out, plenty of puks etc,

how deep have you been and fished mate..

Deep Drop Augusta

Tue, 2017-02-14 12:41

Hey mate I'm heading to Augusta this weekend for 6 days. Can you point me in the right direction for a deep drop fish. We're launching from new marina. Got a couple of tanacom bull 1000 reels and have only used them once so thought we would try and get out this Sunday as the weather looks great. Any advice is greatly appreciated. No more green eye sharks lol
