snelly Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Good to see some decent weather so have been making the most of it. Got a break yesterday so took my youngest for a run to the inshore wrecks. Plenty of fun to be had with the deep fly (25m). Managed this nice Trout ( Coral Trout this particular one called an Island Trout or Bar Cheeked Cod ) - a real one ;-) [image]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/PB280349.jpg[/image] [image]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/PB280346.jpg[/image] Also pleanty of Trevally ( Jacks ) to stretch your arms and Tackle - This one called a Turrum [image]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/PB280350.jpg[/image] Cheers Snelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsalt Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Snelly, Nice pictures. To fish that deep are using a sinking line or just using staight mono or dacron? Interested in how you fly fish deep down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snelly Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Rob, We use a RIO product called T14, set up as a shooting head - for a 10wt about 32ft then a 100ft RIO - Tropical Intermediate running line and then 50lb Braid backing. RIO now also make T17 which would sink even quicker. For flies we use a basic clouser on a 3/0 hook with DNA Holofusion and bucktail and 5/16 I Balz ( make sure you don't hit rod with these or it is EOS for the rod - also not much good if you hit your self either ) In good conditions we fish to 30m with this set up. Rods are 10 -12wt Cheers Senlly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
