  1. Hi everyone.

    I fished the bay with my two sons on two occasions last week. 

    First day we were plagued by large slimeys at the bait grounds. We managed a handfull of yakkas while we

    were there though.

    We set up at Molli pt with our livies, and soaked a few pillie tails and peeled prawns. The livies went untouched

    but we ended up catching numerous numbers of rat kings on the dead baits and small jigs.

    We left Molli pt and tried a few other spots around the bay. We only managed undersize bream and snapper.

    Again the live yakkas and slimeys went untouched by anything.

    That was it for day one.

    A couple of days later we made a late call to get out into the bay again. We hit the bay around 2pm with not a single

    bait on board. Today was a jig for squid and lure fishing day. By the time we got out the wind had picked up and the

    bay was rather choppy, which made fishing hard, but we were determined. Over the next couple of hours we boated

    half a dozen squid, which ended up as dinner that night. We also trolled a couple of hardbody lures along the breakwall

    which resulted in a few more rat kings. All kings on both days were released unharmed.

    Here's a few pics

  2. Fished for kings with largish unweighted peeled prawns and unweighted pillie cubes in a berley trail many times. Caught plenty on on 12lb using this method. Then there are the days that we could see the Kings in our trail feeding and following hooked trevs or bream to the boat. As hard as we tried they would not take a bait that had a line attached to it. We then drop down to a 10lb leader and the Kings are straight onto it. It would seem that at times, that small bit of difference in line diameter seems to make all the difference.

     

    Cheers

    Thanks mate, been all over the place trying for a kingie but I think its one of those right place right time things in the bay, this time I am going to use a similar strategy & anchor up & spent some time there with heaps of burley.

    Wednesday looks like the day weather wise :thumbup:

     

    Cheers for the info :D

    Best of luck to you and hope you get a few.

    Care to share the approx. area where you were anchored up?

    I'm heading out early next week & would like to target kings doing the same thing.

    Over at the Kurnell side of the bay between the sticks and the the oil wharf.
