Very nice video work Kil :)

Ed the Golden Trevally machine in action and well done for getting some footage of me that did not involve a huge wipeout :)

Just one thing - the rod is Black Current 73MLR, not Blue Current.

Good point on the spines Jon!

That fish was a swine as it was belly hooked  as you saw and was only using PE2 line. You can imagine it was a struggle getting it in with BC73 MLR.

I can't ever remember having so much light tackle fun as I did on the 2 days we spent with the sort of action in Kil's video.

Mark.
I told my staff Jane that the rod you use Carpenter Black Current, but there must be miscommunication. :)
Check Carpenter Black Current 80UL R.
With your Black Current 73ML R and 80UL R, you can cover for all inshore lures.

Haha .. One the most important services i wanted to offer when starting No Boundaries was providing professional fishing boats. I know i would personally hate spending $1000+ a day on boat which then made me lay all my Stella's/rods on the deck, was dirty and not maintained well. Thankfully due to hard work we have never lost a days fishing or cancelled any groups. I have always enjoyed fixing whatever i could and you have to learn very fast when you have 4 engines and lodges in the middle of no where! I am now an electrician, plumber, do masonary work, mechanic .. sure i suck at them all but do just enough to keep to the high standards i set at the beginning for our boats, cars and lodges. You tube is all you need these days!
