Guys when i say its small its not because im ungreatfull its still a good king.But seriously its a pup compared to the kings we get here in the spencer gulf and ive been very fortunate to catch a few really big kings and compared to those its quiet small in comparesen. The all tackle record for kings is 43kg caught by a guy who is also south australias leading kingfish tagger at Pt Augusta.But a good mate of mine boated a king of 45.5kg on 15kg tackle in 2008 and didnt bother in claiming the record.Actually the fish here are getting bigger each season and has been 100lb fish boated every year for the past 3 yrs.And i would hate to imagin how big the fish are that win there freedom.

Howdy mate. Your bound to have cracker sessions living only 80km from pt Augusta,you can fish there more regually.Its a 4.5 hr drive for me and can basically go once a month. By the sounds of it Spiro has access into the power stations hot water outlet which is famous for mega big kings landbased and the roumor now has it its now banned even for the powerstation workers. I now fish there a lot real early in the season before the big spawning kings arive but get good kings between 15 and 20kg plus mulloway and snapper.The crowds and interstate people arrive in there droves around August and its now really hard to get a strike.On average 25 boats a day in a small area with 2 rods out per boat is 60 live baits and your odds really dwindle. Even with crowds like that the kings can shut down for days at a time .Ive had 100,s of massive kings crusing under my boat and straight past 15 boats and not even a care in the world.Haha sorry my point is the adventure bound guys put it across to the viewers it looks easy when actually its not that at all. Interesting you saying about the kings at cape jervis its only just starting to leak out this year in Adelaide.Places like Rapid bay and Cape Jervis were spots years ago that had the lime light for kings until Pt Augusta Whyalla,Coffin bay and of shore Greenly and rocky islands got discovered that the attension now goes to those places and the other spots get forgotton about. Eagle ray pt mac has fired once again this year and have recently come in close in the 70m depth range and had a mate of mine who is a crazy man i must say goes out to the shelf in his 15ft quintrex runabout that leaks like hell catch a few. Well im of now getting ready to go for some big snapper in the morning hopefully

Didnt get the jewies on downrigger.We get great kings down here but arent easy to catch.They can be really elusive.You no they are there its just a matter if there hungry or not.Was there for 3 days for 10 min of action basically.out of the 11 or so boats fishing traditional methods,it was the moving bait which done the damage.No one really downrigs here and i jumped on the opportunity before it takes of and it works really well.Going again in 3 weeks and the really big spawning kings are on there way.These kings look like dolphins when passing under the boat,there really dark in colour. Yes the adventurebound guys put Pt augusta on the fishing map ,before that it was very quiet. But as easy as they make it look they stay for a week and are competing these days with up to 30 boats a day in a very small area.

Haha we are very spoilt down here in S.A. Its a good king but small compared to what we get here.

howdy all. Thought i would show of my latest capture Although its a small kingfish,i am pretty happy catching it on a live squid trolled on my downrigger. It weighed 15kg and 112cm and fought really well for its size. Also got some nice mulloway which was a suprise concidering we were targeting big snapper

Maybe get a 50w if concerned about line capacity

Gee must be big kings if 24kg aint enough. You caught some big ones at the spot you fish? Nice kings aswell mate.I love fishing for them too

Im in awe of those big doggies Not much else to say but thats nuts,killer photos of loaded rods.What a trip that must have been

Yozuri hydro magnums seem to work and rapala cd 18s are a good starting point

Nice one mate. They are greedy when in fedding mode for sure

Gee photos came out pretty ordinary. First fish is 23kg 2nd fish is 44lb 3rd is 15.2kg And in my last post i was saying i was going to try downrigging.Well on my first try i got 2 fat rat kings and a 17kg king which hit the live squid when i stopped trolling and started lowering the anchor.I lost 4 fish aswell and it was the only methord that worked. The pics are to large to upload,ill try my best to get them up

adelaide kingfish 23kg on 10kg got this after a mate and i lost 13 in to 1hr sessions

DONT TELL THE MRS is gold hahaha i certainly dont tell mine ,onley if she new she would staple my balls to the first thing she could find
