Need to put my 2cents worth in here.

If you do a dummy drift first to check tide / wide, and plant your stations as you go, you should be able to run back to the top mark and repeat at will. Leaving them in the water for an hour or two while you go off somewhere else doesn't hurt either. Key is to make sure wind is not blowing you off the tide, otherwise your time in the berley trail will be minimal. For weights I just use lumps of steel - as opposed to a full anchor and warp....
Saw you drive past too Rodholder - ya bugger.... Good luck out there, looks terrible out there. Looking forward to the report |
My next plan for when fishing around exposed foul/rocks/island when all is quiet, is to have pre cut the small pink salmon burleys into 4 disks and repacketed. These will then be thrown into the wash areas as needed and will be just soft enough to instantly start dispersing, then I will just starting casting and wait for the activity to start. Then you can have the burley right in where it needs to be.

Remember the old saying "if you keep doing what you have always done, then you will keep getting what youv'e always got".

3.6kg braid 20lb supple trace. I've gone off the flouro. You can get away with the light trace as from memory every fish I've ever caught on SP's has been lip hooked (or foul hooked)
