Horsehoe bay in winter.


Here are a couple of fish I got off the beach at Horseshoe bay, Magnetic island, where I live. The first is a rare lookdown Trevally,and the other a small Barra, which I released. I also hooked a big threadfin salmon, which ripped off 200m of line before wearing thru the leader.They are eating small prawns , of which there is vast quantities in the bay at the moment.At the moment , its 24c and hardly a cload. Hard to take, but I force myself.Photo092.jpgPhoto093.jpg Bill

The blue is 8 kg braid, and the pink 2kg braid. Red or pink is the first colour to disappear in water.I also use fluorocarbon leaders as its virually invisibal in water, Barras are all male til about 3kg, and then turn female, like some of the people I know. Bill

I need to understand why the colours that fishing line manufacturers extol as invisible to fish are so often also featured on lures to attract fish.confuse

Its to attract fishermen , not fish. I have caught a lot of fish on lures with No colours. Bill
