Stax, that is way cool stuff my man, way cool. So bibbed means lipped, I guess I learned some Australian today. Neat!

That Saamson fish was neat, looked like it would fight hard and probably take a surface plug. Also that Mulloway looks like a white sea bass as found off of our west coast and down Baja. Sea trout (actually the croaker family of fishes) like our Squeteaque and Spotted Weakish, in that family. You guys get Tailor down there which we know as Bluefish correct?

Got to be a bitch getting those critters up that cliff. Not much for a live release. The Alveys really cast when you can adjust the spool to face forward. Guys use them out west for salmon.

Well, welcome aboard, that really cool stuff and looks like lonely country out that way. Drop a cold one for us mate!

Why even try.........

Here is a picture of a Tailor caught with my very first cast with the new BG10000 and my ABU Suflex rod, the rod is 25 years old.

You mentioned the word "crocker" and yes the Mulloway is in that family. They get up to about 90Lbs. Not the greatest fighting fish and an even worst eating fish. Like eating cardboard boxes!!



Is one is taken from the beach about 5 miles from Steep Point at Sheltered Bay. Fishing extra light takle, 4lb line, for bait. John here has a Tailor about 8lb trying to make a dash for freedom.

Soon

Stax, i read where peak time for catching those Tailors (bluefish) is January and February.
We have a guy on our site who loves to catch them and would

probably fly over to catch them in our off season.You may not of

heard of "Clammer" yet, but you will.

What an offer, I'm blown away.
I've got your website open and you certainly have some great looking plugs. The needle plugs and the Cow-Killer look extreme!
I've just tried to send you a PM however your message box is full.
I'm going back to Steep Point on the 31st Jan and will let you know how they go!
