your dead right there too I WILL be going after them again...... I am also going to scale down the tackle too. I guess i will have to peruse the forum for a few tips on just how it all works. Just thinkin' about it gets me going

Whale beach behind the pool... or the same place at palm beach. I have used yakkas, prawn, squid, pilchard.

Remind me .... not to go fishin with you.

Took my son out fishin in the tinnie this morning It was perfect weather in pittwater and we thought to give flint and steel a bash. I had a heap of old frozen bait in the freezer and thought to get rid of it before the did it for me. Arrived around 10 and fished the bottom of the tide for a just legal flattie and a flounder.....the son got zilch. Decided to pull the pin at 12 noon, the sons stomach needed refilling. So went back to the salt pan, on the way I convinced him to eat and go back out. So after a BLT and a We headed off out again. We had no idea of where to go as he had work at 5 so I said lets just go over to the western forshore and drift around and take it easy. Got to Towlers bay and lay back not expecting any action at all. When all of a sudden the water is boiling all around the boat. The kingies had turned up!!. As usual we were not prepared for this kind of action ( being kingie virgins). What to do ....what to do !!!. I grab an overhead boat rod that I had bought at an unnamed place and wack on a lure, the one that looks like a fish and has those dangerous tri hooks on it. I try to cast it into the school and promptly get a giant birdsnest. Well that was it. I manage to wind it in and right next to the boat this monster just smashed the lure, bent the rod double and promptly broke my 30 pound line like it was cotton. I quickly cut the birdnest away and put on this little lure that is about 4'' long and got the son to just drive around the school while I trolled the tiddley lure through the school. SMASH...... my god the thing went nuts and started peeling line off like there is no tomorrow, meanwhile Im trying to tighten the drag without get busted off. after about 5 minutes( felt like an hour) I boat this 85cm model. No time for congrats, I take over driving and its the sons go. He does the same and gets his first kingie too. After much back slapping and handshakes,We didnt even bother going after more. We took off for home to brag. A brilliant day by all accounts. We will never forget today.

And I thought i was a keen fisho.............

Just looking at your sons face says it all... not to mention a feed of squid. A day to remember.

Pity the navy dont belong to fishraider. Could have avoided a nasty accident.

Just my kind of fishin'. I love the fact that you eat all you catch and the rest go back. Mmmmm gar, My wife goes nuts for them. Ps ..you can eat the shovel nose. just treat it like any other shark. I dont eat big ones, to much mercury for me. but lets face it who can beat a weekend away fishing.

Who da boss NOW!!!!!!!

Ahhhh.............. the life of a fisho. Ya wouldn't be dead for quids, would ya. Monty python put it best { you wucky wucky bastard}.

[ After all, opinions are like arseholes – everyone has one. Regards, Andrew Hahahahahahaha...... Never a truer word said. PS.. In my house, you even have to hide the yakkas from the . Squid for bait, I dont think so!!! I have already tried that one.

Ditto from me too Andrew. All the best for the new year

I just love those stories. Nothing better than beatin' the old guys..... Never under estimate a kid!!!! is my motto.
