Andy, thanks for the welcome ,will try and post some more soon,going up to eden again ,end of this month for 2 weeks ,hopfully the weather gods will be kind.
nice fish, how far out from edne are you heading mate, ive fished there a couple of times but mainly in close for tuna and marlin, must have been a fair way out past the shelf?

Mako well out past the wave bouy south of green cape in 650-700 fathoms, you can only bottom bounce there when the current is not ripping, a long way to go to find that is ripping, but there is great fishing out there ,we have caught marlin. dolphin fish, wahoo y/fin, on the way home.
G'day Ryan ,yes in the deep mark we use a big reel conected to a capstain via a v belt ,with a big weight,it's a real work of art judging the drift and the depth to get onto the marks, in the close in spots 300 fath we use big alvys on real short stroker rods,,the mates just manufactured a 12 volt electric motor coupled to a tiagra 130 2seed with 2 different size pulleys so there is 8 ratios, should be interesting, if it works,
