thanks, will keep trying

We plant to have another session this morning to try our luck again, but last night my mate msg said he wont be going due to he couldn't get a permission from the BOSS . Since the weather is so calm and the I do know the place well so I decided to have a solo session. Left home at 5, first jig hit the water at 6, caught 2 small perfect bait size southern calamari straight away off it went under the float, nothing touch it for an hour , try different method without the float for awhile got something have a go and took the squid head could be salmon,tailor or a rat may be.... got bored and go back to squiding and got 6 more green eyes. I gave the biggest squid to the another nice angler who trying to catch his family dinner before I left

not far from where you got your king

Thanks guys , will def keep trying, hopefully get my hand on the first kingie this season

Long time reader first time poster, here a quick report some sort... This morning, I and my mate got to our spot off eastern surburb rock just before sunrise, number of squids take the liking at our jigs and in they come . I immediately pinned one and sent it out about 1.5m under a float (targeting kings) but nothing thing touch it for about 90 mins, also try throw my xrap for about 30 mins with no avail , then switch a smaller size xrap in 20s cm length and got a tailor and that is for the day. Not sure what i am doing wrong can someone give me a tip, the livie squid was pinned using sliding snell knot, one hook go into the back of squid's head and the other going the other end of the hood where the v part. 50lb braid and 1.5m of 50lb FC. And my squid set up is Rod: shimano sephia 8"3' medium, reel: daiwa 2056, 10lb sunline super pe, and 10lb FC Rock, Jigs: mainly in orange and pink color 3.0 Here our catches:

that is a solid king, top effort off the rocks , congrats

Awesome fish, top effort.well done
