Well done leigh :!:

That is an exceptional sized refin. The record in Australia is 9 kg, anything around 3Kg is very rare!

 

[Squidder]

Horse redfin Red, great work you two. 40 fish in an hour on the troll is a truly hot bite

What were the SPs/lures that did the damage?

 

[Jake]

Only problem is that I'll have to go and catch some more fish now!
Red.

Yeah Red, thats quite a burden you've got there.... 8) 8) 8)

Well done.

Wow what a beast!

At 45cms thats a whopping 7cm gain on my personal best, but then again who trained me master?... The one & only Red Pheonix!

<Stuck in Sydney at parents, grumble grumble... least its raining!>

Good effort mate, when i went out for an hour on Thursday the water temp was almost to mid 20's and the fish were going spastic, sorry to hear you still havent pulled a native but im sure your time will come mate...

Re : Mullet, was it a Mad or Micro, those lures have been doing the damage up and down the east coast all year... Pakrats in greens, oranges, blacks, yellows, reds and even pink patterns have been working well for me.

 

[bazzoo]

will take you up on that canberra offer Leigh some time early new year, thankyou, bloody hell, gotta stop reading these reports , every time i read them i rush out and buy another lot of the lures you guys used in your report :roll: :roll:

 

[PoddyMullet]

Big red, big red. 9kg would be a huge..huge redfin :shock:

 

[YakAtak]

Good effort mate, maybe you need a big BIG keeper net for all those little redfin.
Interesting experiment with the cherries, never would have thought to do that myself, certainly looks interesting, before and after.

 

[Squidder]

I've been experimenting with tiger patterns for a while now.
These are the three that I had on that night:

The Juro 3m diver:

The Pakrat 4m in tiger pattern (attached), and a lure with the name 'mullet' in the name (can't remember the brand.. sorry) - it feels like it dives between 2 and 3m, and has a great swim action.

SPs just weren't working yesterday for some reason. Wierd how that works sometimes.

Red.

Thanks mate, a few more to add to the shopping list before I come up :wink:

 

[Scott]

Red, have you ever tried bridle rigging a small redfin and either slow trolling it or fishing it stationary in the structure for cod similar to how you live bait for jew or barra?

Catch ya Scott

way back when i was a lad and my hometown Horsham held Australias biggest prize pool fishing comp"Wimmera Apex fishing comp" (1970 - 80's) and 1st prize was a car for the heaviest Redfin. Well i reckon you would have taken the car home with that monster Reddie. Well done Red.

 

[aleg75]

Beautiful redfin Leigh! it's pretty rare to catch the big ones! well done!

 

[mackral]

How convenient that Leigh forgot to mention my horsey's Two over 50cm, biggest at 53cm. Definitely my record redfin, as was bringing up two redfin on the one lure. Unbelievable! Leigh and I certainly had a ball.
Cheers,
Brad (mackral)
