Submitted by samy90 on Sun, 2012-01-29 14:04
hi
has any1 stopped a 20+ kilo sambo in around 8 meters of water in really rough ground, if so what gear is needed line reel rod, iam getting the idea its almost impossible, espesically how dirty fighters they are and losing around 5 of them in same area, i have a 8000fi stradic with 50 pound braid on a shimano tevez rod is this good enough.
help would be appreciated i really want to land one in shallow water.

Mate ive done it a few times
Mate ive done it a few times in 10m's of water but been busted up way more often. The only way ive found to do it is to have someone drive the boat while you fight the fish. Gotta try and stay rite ontop of the fish and try not to give it much string. Ive done it a fair bit using pe 3. Generaly land 1 in 4 fish. Goodluck mate!

You tie the occy strap to the
You tie the occy strap to the boats bollard, the other end to the 200 lb handline, when the occy strap breaks, you know its over 30 kg so just throw the handline over board and go home and have a beer......

Handline and gloves
As stated before, 300lb handline and some riggers gloves and make sure you don't stand in the loose line on the deck because you will regret it later if you do.
Its the only way IMO to catch them, you can feel every kick or head shake and feel the immense power that they have.
We used to get new deckies to catch cobia on a handline up north while shark fishing there, thats when you sort the men from the boys

tricks
Other tricks is to try not go too hard so they don't go psycho, but more times than not, your in trouble. We used to get plenty down on the 3 mile in about 13m, but you lost more than you got up.
