It's actually quiet deep for how.close to shore it is . About 20 feet only a few yards out .Rod Tips wrote:I think most on here would love to catch a tope from the shire? I know I would. Looks like a nice venue too. Is it fairly flat and shallow there?
Definitely worth it .Dave F wrote:That is stunning. I'm home for a couple of weeks at the end of September and I'll definitely be trying for one from the east coast for a night or two.

I use a 6/0 mustad o Shughnassey bottom hook with either a C&R meat hook 6/0 or a C&R 8/0 circle ... The reason I use the mustard for bottom hook is I like to use the gemini splash down clip and it just fits and is still plenty strong ... If the meat hooks fit in the spash down I'd use them. ... I hate wire . I find it cuts the fish. .. I use 200lb hook length at about 3-4 feet on pulleys .Dave F wrote:I was planning to use pulleys with 150lb mono to a 6/0 or 8/0 pennel setup for them in September. Would that be sufficient do you reckon, or do you really need wire? I think I have 6/0 Sakuma Manta Extra and C&R Specimen Extra. Any preference on hooks?
Are you going to be fishing West or east coast?Dave F wrote:Yeah, I thought mono seemed a better plan myself. I'll have to tie up a few rigs and have a go! Might only get one or two outings at this so I'll have to see where's producing come late september or early october.
