I tried out a new way of tying ledger rigs and it worked really well, learned off this vid: https://youtu.be/NT99casykE8 I used 40lb black magic tough trace and black magic KL5/0 hooks with a pink lumo bead above. |

Not much caught… although didn’t check guys at northern finger one of my favourite spots. Did see one caught off main ledge .. would been dozen fishing southern end before went round the back … were some whoops and saw fish flapping hopefully a snap not kahawai from where I was fishing. Anyway I’m a pretty hopeless alvey user and in spite of being frustrated by my not being able to cast as far as with my egg beater gear did manage a 33 cm snap on the 14 foot killwell alvey rod paired with 650 alvey reel. Took a piper only decent bite I had all arvo apart from a few pecks at other baits. Hard fishing but we have dinner. Was old timer fishing beach as came back casting over 100 meters. Said he had dropped a nice one when first arrived. Was fishing into dark.. not something I’ld do with alvey .. barely manage to keep loops line on reel in day… suspect he will do well. But home now and fish for tea in new air fryer. Might have anther crack tomorrow although running low on bait, we’re lot of baitfish today, so tomorrow might take light piper gear and a better spin main setup tomorrow.
