Way to go Ben thought it would be a awesome day out there with the winds dropping out. Looks like you had some real good fish. Will have to give this popping thing a go, more money to spent.
The Mrs will be pleased, better not tell her
Some great pictures there

 looks like a Wicked day out on the water. Stickie fishing is definitely my prefered method of fishing at the moment as well but not always the go when the fish are deep. 


 How deep were the fish you were getting to come up ? 

 

i was using a nomad doggy 150g

 

we fished in 30-60m of water,the biger fish where found when we were in 50-60m
If only I could fly
