Stick to whole baits like squid stay away from tuna fillets less berly in the water the best if your fishing up North tax man will find you a lot quicker.

 We used tuna cubes on 15/0 circles and killed it last June in 150m, just fish until the taxman turns up then move on

 We went south off turquoise bay and did well

 bring it on 

starting to get twitchy thinking about the trip

Make sure your baits are big and solid, its a long wind up to check or replace baits that have been ripped or fallen off.
Full or 3/4 of a mullet are about as good as you can get

a whole  Lunds squid with a mulie shoved up inside it then pinned with a 15/0 circle is the go, also like to use a flashing light attached to the line to help bring em in too. 

Not too many guys winding up in those depths these days , a flick of a lever and a cold beer !

 Thanks blokes 

only chasing bills and deep dropping this year

leaving all the in close stuff completely alone unless weather forces hand

cant wait!!!!

Chris,

For metro big oily baits like blue mackerel work well and being oily they berley up the spot especially butterfly'd!

Butterflying takes 2 seconds to do and I do that so fish dont steel your bait as thats the back bone!

If your doing recon fishing or fishing north I prefer using a whole Lundz squid pinned on the top with a circle hook! 

 We just troll up a couple of little tuna and strip them up.

Easy as
