kingie chaser

I know you wouldn't Jeff, but others seem to not have a problem with it on here from threads I see from time to time I was just asking if it survived really, no other intent! Although your right, roll any seafood in my S&P mix into the fryer & its happy days. Maybe not a blue ringed octopuss though............................... maybe

You've sold me BF Its one of those fish that has great colouring but is dog ugly 😂 I hope it got to live to see another day though?

Collect fin clips of captured kingfish for genetic identification. Crikey, I've got catch one 1st 🤨 @Pickles you will be busy then 😂

No worries

Somethings a bit odd with this thread, same post at the top ofeach page & also I can see the pictures on my android phone but on PC can only see http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/15/y5u4a7ar.jpg with symbol. Old thread I know, maybe different format now?? A bit like you some of the badges apear now. Anyway @Fab1 I did look at the thread on phone & you certainly do do some great looking builds! Could have been your calling to do an Aussie version of this show- https://www.natgeotv.com/int/fish-tank-kings/videos

At least you were armed & ready even if it didnt eventuate A friend of a friend has a boat but when he goes out he doesnt take a rod or anything & just cruises around & swim........................strange man......................... 😂 Then how come whenever I go on one of those xmas party harbour cruises I'm thinking........... dam I wish I had a fishing rod with me

Sounds like an great trip & with all the makings of an amazing seafood spread

New boat, fish & good times. Win win win

Nice report, great times with the littlies, memories they will not forget as they get older

Someone did say what I like to do could be a bit dangerous at times............................................. Maybe thats the attraction.................................🤨

Would be a quick trip out to browns thats for sure

No need to apologies, the search tab can be a bit tricky. I find that it works better with one spcific word only most of the time for a more specific search. Another example would be say putting in just Halco rather than Halco lures- https://www.fishraider.com.au/search/?q=halco&quick=1 On hooks, I replace the trebles on most of my metal lures & replace with a good quality single hook. Most of the time trying to get 2 or 3 barbs out of a fish's mouth take 2 or 3 times as long as the single while means you can be back fishing quicker rather than wasting time with pliers. Some metals will come with one or 2 assist hooks so I leave those alone.

Sorry can't help you with marks, never been there. I do remember though that my old man used to go to rainbow beach/DIP every years for some time with a group if mates for a couple of weeks & I would look at pictures of plenty of big mackerel, sailfish & other fish they would catch. Talking about the late 70's here so think you would just troll a lure around anywhere & you would get something. Good luck.

Hope you have a speedy recovery @mrsswordfisherman Less time in traction then back to fishing action 😉

Huh 🤨 This is what I found in one quick search

I have bought lots of gear from overseas websites before but you need to make contact with them, check if they ship OS, what the charges are etc. The alternative is to buy from a eBay seller. Good luck.

Get @Yowie to take you out, he has a bung knee at the moment but he is the Hacking expert imo. Hang on....................................why am I recommending him to you? Hell I want to go out with Yowie before you I need as much help as I can get in the Hacking to 😁

Has had a bit of discussion before I think Shimano have a coupleof decent rods, not sure about 10ft though?

Great effort there, some tasty meals to come

Never heard of then Waza, but then I dont rock fish. I would hope people that do rock fish check these warnings, or at least know of them?

Great fish for the wreck, well done 😉

Wow, how heavy would that thing be 😮

Are you talking about the marlin comp? That's usually on at the end of February. https://www.nswgfa.com.au/tournament.php?2021-Garmin-Billfish-Shootout-Tournament-12 Ah ok, he just said it was a state tournament, knowing Jeff I just thought fishing 🤔 😄☺️
