Thanks for the advice - I do appreciate it - but am I gonna get grief every time I mention hunting and scuba in the same breath on this board?
I know I do not know exactly what I am doing in this instance which is why I posted for some advice
- I have shot a lot of fish but never one I could not subdue by hand in the water.
I had some ideas and had assumed fitting a reel was vital - but the float was what I was having problems with in practice. My mentor over here is wary of using reels when shooting on a wreck because of the chance the fish will wind the played out line around both you and the wreck and result in a dangerous entanglement.
Around here it is impossible to get fish this large above 30 meters. Due to intensive netting of fish they only congregate around the big wrecks where they are shielded from the trawlers - so freediving is not a practical option.
BTW, last week I was shooting 5-6 kg sweetlips under the bow of a wreck by torchlight on scuba at 60 meters - and wrestling them into submission til they could be put on stringer - whatever way you cut it there is a fair bit of sport and challenge in that - the dive alone could kill ya even before you start fucking with the wildlife down there.
Thanks again -
