Made a decision at the beguining of the year not to buy any bait and only use lures.Having only caught mackerel so far this year, went with steve Arries of this forum to a local mark to catch some pollack.Steve was wading off the beach fishing with plugs and I was fishing S.Ps off the rocks.I recieved some rockvibes and cone heads from **** fishy jersey during the week so I rigged one weedless and cast into a gully.Half way back bang fish on, xxxx not enough drag and fish dives for cover, couldn't shift it and line snaps at hook knot.Second cast smaller fish this time soon up to the surface - my first ever wrasse just over a pound.Fifth cast bigger fish on again dives for cover and eventually line snaps again at hook knot.
What leader should I be using for this style of fishing and what can I put between hook and cone head to protect the knot?
After these losses moved to a little beach and had 3 pollack on the rockvibes and one on a komomo II.Steve had a schoolie and 7 pollack all on plugs.sorry no pictures but every thing went back.
