Hi Sat does not looks to good.. It all depends How big is your boat. And your experience to handle the boat. If you look at the weather 1 m wave with 5 sec wave period that is choppy. May not be a very good day to go wide. As for the forecast rain it does not looks too bad after 8 am but at 5 am it is bad. Good luck let us know how u go. Look at http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=208682 may give u bit of more details. like timeing of the rain and wave. BigKing

I fished with Maggie Joe Sport Fishing 1025 Ala Moana Blvd Slip K Honolulu HI 96813 Ph No (808) 591-8888 We where fishing around 18nm out from Honolulu It was near the FAD And in San Diego fished with First String. In Mexico water near Tuna Pitts. In US They say no to bananas’ And in First String they were selling bananas’ I asked the captain he said we do not believe in this and First String it the Top boat for BFT and YFT. Has the highest no of fish count. Thanks BigKing

Yes it was 204 fish for the boat. It was one and half day trip. They leave San Diego in the night 9 pm Get the live bait (pillys) and to the spot in Mexico over night. You start fishing around 5 – 5:30 and fish up to sunset. Then sleep on the boat. Next day morning you fish 5 am to 1 pm then head back to San Diego. Around 7 pm you are on the land. Around 6 hr. driving time. There were 32 Anglers fishing from the boat. I got 7 and some got 1 or 2 some got up to 13 -14 and you take your fish. 7 fish was lot. I Was staying with family. So took it home and gave lot of it to the friends and rest in the freezer. If any one want the details about the charter can Pm me. Some more Pic.. Thanks BigKing

If you do not have sea Anchor Use Bucket 20Lt It also works fine

I will be going there on Sat. call me 0402963747 . We can go side by side if you do not mind. It will be good if we can exchange the reports when there. and it will be good to meet someone. Thanks Bigking

Hi Cowan 4.2M with 25hp is small for that long distance. untill you are very Exp. and brave. more over do need to have all offshore safty gear like eparb , vsheet, ect... Take care do not risk it. BigKing

Texas reef is around 24km around 12nm out from Terrigal it may be bit closer from the Entrance. but the boat ramp at Entrance.is not good. the best closest ramp is Terrigal. And you can get lives near the ramp near Red Boy near the wall. Drive to Terrigal from Sydney is around 1:30hr Thanks BigKing

Hi bung-o-meter is only an idea for someone who wants to implement it. My thumb rule is I never undo the strap without double checking the bungs. And before retrieval dirve off Check the Motor is up. Thanks BigKing

BUNG-O-Meter It is very simple thing to install in your boat. Install one Bilge Pump Float Switch and one buzzer in your boat. As soon as if there is water the Float Switch will switch on your Bilge Pump and trigger the buzzer warning you there is water in your boat and you can take corrective action. Though it is simple still If you need any more details how to connect it all let me know. Have fun BigKing

Hi Jason Nice fish. Bigking

Yes it on Yakka. Near the Wall. Thanks

Went out on 14 Apr got some yakkas at balmoral the to Suoth Head. Got 2 king’s around 63cm went back. and then head to FAD with no luck. Then to Long reef. Got me First AmberJack. Over all nice day out.

Hi Jez How are you I think You have not seen the weather yet. It is not looking good. If you Get someone to take you it should be fine. But do not hire a boat as you ill not be able to do much in such a bad weather. I will call you as soon as it is a good day and I am going Out. Thanks BigKing.

Send me PM with your Phone No: when ever if there is a room on my boat. I will call you. BigKing

I am planning to go for fishing the Fad and Peak Next Sunday 3 Apr . As the weather looks good. I will be going on my boat If someone is going then we can go side by side. We can launce the boat from Bot.Bay or tunks Park. Let me know if any one want to go or has any plans.. Any one has gone there and any reports. PM me. Thanks BigKing.

Hi Jez Just use bait trap with lot of bread in it. You will get 40 -50 in 10 to 20 Min’s It you want to use hook’s same hooks what you use for Yellow Tails 8 or 10. With float on the top. For Bait use bread. I prefer no sinker. Th Bigking

look at this site for maps. you will find it. http://www.maritime.nsw.gov.au/publications/maps.html Thanks

Yes 100 lb leader and very long say 6m - 10m depending on from where u r fishing. Good luck

G Day Comb. Use 1.5m 60 lb or 80 lb fluorocarbon leader with 6/0 circle hook. And put the hook in to Yakkas nose without damaging the eye. Just Add Medium sliding sinker before leader. And troll very very slow. 1Kt. 1.5 Kt Max (With the tide) Try also Stop and troll / Stop and troll / Stop and troll near marker’s. The drag should be set to not more then 1 kg. It is best if you can keep the bait around ½ of total depth.. The key is The king will first take the bait. And Run zzzzzzzzz pause zzzzzzzzzz the first run will be around 3 Sec. So you must let it run for 3 – 4 sec. and then Hit the rod then keep the pressure on the fish. At the pause king turns the bait head first. And takes it in. it is very quick. Max 4 Sec. you should not wait for more then that. If you hit before that. (or the drag it tight) The hook will come out from the bait. And you will miss the fish and bait. If you are Late the fish will go in to rocks and you are busted. Send me PM if you need any more help. Best of luck. Bigking
