bliss2 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Went out today with Simon Way and Alan fishing for Tope, I had a 17lber and Alan had a 10lber. The problems we seemed to be having is that we would have a run from the tope, but then they would drop the bait, leaving us very fustrated, all in all a good day. It started to get a bit lumpy in the afternoon out there. So we moved in and tried for some Bream at Ballard but caught nothing. Quote
Adam F Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Well done Matt, always nice to tick a species off the list. Tope can be very frustrating when they are not hitting the baits hard - for such large and seemingly agressive fish they can be very gentle. My advice would be to scale down - smaller hooks 6/0's and try either just a mackerel head, a single fillet, or even half a fillet - this usually works for me. Adam Quote
Maverick Martin Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Excellent Matt As Adam says its nice to get another species under the belt but especially Tope as they are such good fun when they come out to play. Good advice from Adam to Martin Quote
