hi all
headed out friday night to get squid for sat to chase kings
got to the usual spot for squid at about 8.30 and in 2 hours had my bag of 20
So of for a sleep, woke at 4.30 and ran into netic and big steve
had a chat about the days adventure and we set off
well the sun was shinning for the first time in a long time!
and this must have scared all the kings away i tried every marker in the harbour
for nothing but pickers so i head to seaforth to anchor up and cook some breaky.
Set the rods out with last 2 live squid and as it always happens just as u are about to attack
the BE roll both rods get smacked so with the BE roll turfed i grabed the first
rod and strike and im on, a couple of winds and back in the rod holder it goes
Turn and grab the second rod and strike fell go pressure then the drag starts to sing this is a better fish
so i try and turn his head but i can fell the leader grinding on something then ping
the leader pops i wind it in to see the leader shredded
a bit more
Then i remember the other rod is still connected turn and start to wind its still on a short fit
follows and a 70cm king is boated
that was the end of the bait so i headed off home
picked the crab pots up, on the way home for 4 females all released and 1 nice male
so not a bad day but not the one i had planed
cheers
