Yep. I will venture out there again and try different areas. As long as the wind is around 5 knots - I think if it is 10 knots it may get uncomfortable in my tinnie.
Unfortunately, Jimmy Crane Rods are no longer manufactured by Jarvis Walker - luckily I have several of them. I was using 12lb line with a 30lb trace. I probably don't need that heavy a trace - I thought there would have been more ledges and rocky outcrops but where I was fishing the bottom was more shelly and flat.
Good on you But I do have to ask When are you going to be in the modern era and start using spin reels I use to be the old way but spin reels are the way to go
Hi Shane, In my opinion it takes more skill to fish with an alvey especially if you hook a larger fish. No drag on the alvey, you only have your hand and rod to play the bigger ones while with an egg beater - you just wind away - no skill required.
