Went out on the boat today, launched about 3.45 and jigged for squid for a few hours for S.F.A ..not happy jan, when the sun got a bit higher we decided to see if the salmon were on the chew around the heads , sata round for a while and there was quite a few birds zooming around but no visible signs of the fish, as we headed back in there was a small gathering of about 6 or 7 boats just on the inside of north head , and a tinytiny school of salmon sipping the surface maybe 20 or so fish, decided it wasnt worth competeting with all the others and hightailed it into middle harbour.
we anchored up and soon began pulling in pinkies. We had the big baits in but they only got picked to bits.. , i was fishing 6lb for the pinkies and suddlenly the rod was almost ripped out of my hands, luckily i didnt let go! ,a very nervous fight later i boated my 1st king of the season @ 55cm
About 20mins later i was doing the same and the same thing happend but this thing was MUCH stronger, he swam towards the middle of the channel like the other king but the hooks soon pulled...so who know's what that could have been
After that i pulled in a big fat bream and he was readily chased up by a minature kingy , probably pushing 45cm , he was trying to eat the bream...good luck with that
But quickly dissapeared before we could throw anything at him..bugger
By 9.30 things had slowed down a bit so we headed back, to the ramp victorious
