Hi all Heading out for another Thursday arvo sesh after work weather permitting. As these sessions only last a few hours i like to have a plan. With this in mind we plan to fish sow and pigs on the incoming tide. Common sesne would suggest to anchor up on the west side and fish of the back towrad the reef. Plan is simple, light gear, burley hard, soak a few baits and flick a few plastics Looking at Navionics map attached it shows two sepaerate areas as sow and pigs. My questions are: Are they both sow and pigs? If not which one is which? Which one will fish better and why? Any tips that can be offered will be appreciated. I fish the harbour each week but its a bloody big place and yet to give this area a solid crack. I have spent (wasted) a lot of time chasing kings this season so will be nice to get back to basics. Happy to compare notes. cheers Paul

Cryptic comment is cryptic

Any member discounts or specials?

Mate i would snap that one up for 650! Just to clarify its an HDS 5 for that price..

There isi one going for 650 on a well known auction website... Brand new! I use hds 7 in the harbour twice a week and its awesome

Hds 5 is hard to beat, resolution is awesome. Can always upgrade to structure scan later?

Great report. We hooked our first two weeks ago and lost it after almost two hours, but still cant beat the feeling and shock of finally hooking up and seeing it breach! For the record i have caught exactly zero legal kings this season....

Exactly what brand do you use for burley. 4kg of WA pillies is one expensive snapper!

Yet to catch a legal jew. I would say no, the two are chalk and cheese!

I normally do both

Awesome haul mate, must have been a hoot. I can relate to "those" days but every dog gets his day sooner or later! I had a big w combo for three years before I bought "good gear", caught heaps of fish from yakkas to kings and never failed me. Nice work.

I fish 6lb fireline with 6lb FC leader for bream and 14lb for flatties, always wirked well. Just bought a pflueger trion and symetre 2500 that will also use this setup. Cheers Paul

If you can afford it the next one up is the saragosa which looks very nice. Guy quoted me 250 for an 18000.

PM me and i will send you the link. Actually got them for 135 as i bought two. Drag power vs $$$$ i dont think you can beat it. Took well over 300 yards of 80lb too.

Not sure what your budget is but mine is low. I bought a shimano spheros 18000 with 20kg drag for 140 delivered. Matched with 80lb braid it should stop most kings.

Rest in peace.

King!

The harbour is peobably safest in the morning with minimal traffic and no ferries.. Just keep your lights on, your eyes on the water and sounder on if you have one. Kings yet to appear inside in consistent numbers but they are there if you look for them. Never caught one at sow and pigs so also interested in tips. Cheers Paul

I use 3/8 and 5/8 for kings

Amen.

Good luck at the doc mate

Seriously all the technical jargon in the world will not stop me slip slop slapping. Have you seen the add on tele with the young guy and his family?

Heart still pumps everytime i tell this story was defo a top fishing experience, and yes we will be back! Im down anytime for a windang session, love the flatties.

Mate go to apple tree bay in the national park it is much better in my opinion. Make sure you pay for parking though!

Wow scary to think folks are out there without sunscreen! Obviously not worried avout skin cancer? I top up every two hours and never affected my success rate...
