Montebellos tackle advice
Submitted by ricey on Wed, 2013-09-04 18:24
Hey team.
Planning a live aboard charter at the montes next year and wanting some advice on what gear to take as will have to limit, especially if I fly up.
the plan is bottom bounce/ jig two or three days, and two days in dinghies .
question 1
for bottom species, terminal tackle sorted here.
Talica 8 PE 4 or Torsa 30 PE 6? Are sharks the reason to get the torsa out to pull up fish quicker?
question 2
dinghy/ shore fishing.
I have a PE 2 Stella 5000 pe 2-4 demon blood combo jerk. Is this long enough or do I need a 7 to 8 ft rod?
should I go to PE 3?
what lures? Troll, poppers, slices or stick baits?

Sounds fine to me. Sharks can
Sounds fine to me. Sharks can be fine in places and terrible in others.
Take you usual stickbaits and poppers but don't neglect a heap of smaller to medium divers as well. The spangos were not so keen to hit the surface when I was there a few weeks ago.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Laser pro's
A mate told me to take laser pro's in chrome pink, they were awesome! Cant remember the specifics but I think they were the DD's. Take squid jigs too, they were fussy when I was there and didnt want my cheap Big W jobbies. Lesson learnt.
