    Can you, or anyone tell me, do you just go out to a certain depth/distance and troll around with your fingers crossed or is there a specific area to concentrate on?

    It's about putting the puzzle together,previous info, looking for currents, temp breaks, radio chatter, birds and MOST importantly bait!

    Then reacting to the information you can gather to find the best area.

  2. To keep the heat,

    What is targeting small kings about?

    The answer, lack of confidence.

    Once you put a bait in the water you're in the game, be ready.

    Kings will eat a livie near half their length, seriously disappointing when a foot long livie results in a throwback. The same bait will be good enough for any King plus anything else that could be there.

    Be ready for the big one, it might be there on your first shot, have the gear to land it!

  3. First thing to find out is if the mackerel are in town when you get there. If they haven't made it yet no need to worry.

    And 1 hook is all you need on the livies.

    *I only fished SWR for 1 week in February a number of years ago. Caught Marlin fin dollys, no mackerel - no bite offs

  4. Or, ooorrr paddle until you find a dead cuttlefish floating on the surface. Cut it into strops and send that down. Works a treat (seriously a true story, i swear)

    But yer dido on the squid, if only i could catch them consistently...

    You might be paddling until August though
  5. Update,

    After a bit of mucking around with breathers, replacing the primer bulb plus having the same experience again,

    I have the culprit. The tube fell off the fuel pick up fitting???

    Ahh, boats eh
