  1. Fished north Maroubra rocks from sunrise this morning. The full moon and the overcast conditions meant it was pretty light and strangely dawn never really seemed to come which made it a bit eerie. Fishing was generally slow, kept burleying and had a couple of bumps on my pillies which I presume were tailor. Then nothing. I put my rod in a natural rock holder to have a little break, when suddenly line started peeling off my line. I haven't caught many kingfish before but I was pretty sure this was one by the way it ran. A short fight (30 pound line might be overkill) and I landed a just legal kingfish. A while later, with my rod again in the rod holder, I saw it buckling again! But when I picked it up the line broke before I could have a guess at the size of the fish. After this I kept losing bait, but couldn't feel bites, so called it a day. A very wet and soggy day. A Chinese fella offered me $20 for the kingie, but that's my dinner tonight!

    PS, loving these forums
