munterhunter Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Firstly thankyou to the forum for pointing us in the right direction for the tope, using info gathered from here and other fishy places decided to go for first tope bash. Went out at 7 and to lobster rock and bagged up on maccy, then out to the tope grounds between the mile marker posts, drifting for tope, after frist drop and losing kit moved a bit further out, me and brian re-tied rigs and dropped down, within 5mins both rods were bent over double and we brought up our first tope!!! we landed a dozen all between 10-15lb and lost many more due to spat hooks (too big a bait?), brian played one for ten mins before it rolled on his leader and shredded his 60lb line. Tide picked up and bikes dissapeared so came into ballard and managed a solitary bream, some doggies, maccy and a pout, soent last 1/2hr bagging up on maccy. No monsters but hopefully next time, was great using 2oz of lead on a 6lb class rod to catch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
