Newcastle to Sydney fishing success

It had been a long time since we had caught a fish with a lure off the back of the boat and I had done some research on improving our chances. 

1. Must use a bungee to take the initial hit on the line

2. A leader is essential to get a fish interested

3. Have a good swivel as twisted line is not fun

4. Successful speed is about 6 - 7.5 knots

As a result of the changes we had a pretty successful return trip from Newcastle with two fish successfully landed and another 3 runs that ended in broken hooks and one snapped 100 lb leader and lost lure. I really need to invest in some decent hooks for the lures and improve my leaders.

Here is some images of the catch
