Hi guys Just wanted to know if anyone has another technique for jigging for kings that works well. Mine is drop jig down to bottom and rip up at a fast pace with lots of eratics jumps and twitches of the rod. Hooked 2 fish so far in about 30mins of jigging lost one, seems to be working. Anyone got any other techniques? cheers james

Tried EVERYTHING, tried various baits dead/live, various depths from bottom to about 2 meters off, the shovels freenzy up that way. Al ways there so if you have a bad day switch over to 6lb gear and chase them. cheers james

In one night session at portstevons chasing jews we landed over 30 shovelnose, biggest was about 1 meter long. PIAN IN THE ASS SHARKS portstevons is full of them.

Hey stewy Looks like you had a top day, good catch. cheers james

Yep it has a 5liter iinboard mercruiser 260hp from memory Looks pretty similar to most other bayliners although theres only 4 of this model in australia. Has a full transom board with lader, bowrider style with seats in each corner at the back, back-2-back driver and passenger seats and the seats at the front. All seats have storage underneath, top riding was heading into 35plus knot winds across nelson bay and it gets messy there, handled no probs. Has 3 ski hooks on the back and a wake pole, digital gauges with a teak wood look finish, carpeted deck. He was saying a few months ago he is looking at selling it and getting a bigger boat, if you would like me to i can call him too see if he is selling it. Olive green and white sides, single axel trailer with for 14inch mag wheels. cheers james

Top pic of the white bait, should take a mullet trap with you next time and try and get some. cheers james

shuddd up u, my biggest is 65 i want one of doms. cheers james This is the best pic of one of my own flattys, all the fish were on 6lb gear. cheers james

Put it onto free spool and adjust that, i have setup some of my overheads really well, although it still takes a little pratise to get it right. cheers james

Farout thats alot of money, even the trailer kelvacat was selling is worth more than out boat. You could go places in that. Has it got any form of a galley in it? cheers james

Big fish????????????nah Staying at home , was hoping to get out saturday. cheers james

Does the reel have an adjustable knob on it somewhere that tightens the spool up when free spooling. Hrd to explain, put it in free spool adjust a few knobs on the reel till you find the one that puts more tension on the spool. cheers james

The harbour looks like it is really firing for pelagis at the moment. Top catch mate. cheers james

Im still tryin to get over that boat, its AMAZING, ust wondering what kind of power is it putting out? And what year models the hull. cheers james

Try wrapping a brick in sandpaper and sanding it back lightly, thorougly clean it after you have done. Another option is to buy new plates, no idea on cost and where you can get them Another idea is just cook more fish cheers james

Just wondering mate, where abouts did you catch them? I have fished portstevons for about 8-9 years and have never seen one caught inside the bay?? cheers james

Now thats what i call a kingfish, thatd eat rats for snacks. cheers james

Good work rob, did you use lure or bait on the tailor, if lures it is top fun cacthing them. cheers james

Hi guys Thought i would add this for member DOMZA, caught on a live yakka near the captain cook bridge during a night session. cheers james

I use a 50lb trace with 2 big gun mustad hooks and a slideing snell rig, i think its called a sliding snell. Bottom hooks is fixed, the top hook slides to suit the size of your bait. cheers james

Mate that was exactly right, the nut on the inside had come off. We opened it up yesterday arvo took a look and found the nut, all fixed. Our bearing buddies are the metal ones about 3 years old, been topped up about once every six months. cheers james

Chris loves his catermerans Mate thes definatly officially my new dream boat, i want one of those, but money doesnt grow on trees . cheers james

Hi guys Just had a thought whilst talking to DOMZA and IFISHSICK. How about making fishraider fish tags? Stick one in each fish you release see who catches another raiders fish. Would this be possible? cheers james

Mate top salmon and tailor, would have been top fun on the light gear. cheers james

Good catch mate, seems the kings are starting to arrive in numbers. cheers james

Ouch, such an expensive car, would ate for that to happen to anyone imagine the gut feelings???? cheers james
