Thanks! Haha, the secret is in stretching your arms out! Get out while you can, now is generally the time kings gather in these reefs.

Hooked up about 14m. Only fish the inner reefs up here between 5-25m. That's where the big boys live!
Nice, thanks for sharing!

Sydney: Inshore reefs are currently barracouta city right now, I advise not to use your most prized jigs... The kingfish were few and far between, had to work really hard to find them today. This 85cm kingfish was caught from 120 meters deep using slow jigs. It took the jig after a few fast jerks followed by a long fall and did not struggle much in the first half of fight, but woke up half way up and took a heart-pounding run straight back down. Took a while to finally get it on the boat.

How would you compare the fight to that of a large luderick on 4 lb? Similar battle or just different moreso than harder or easier....just curious as i dont suceed with pelagics other than salmon.
Nice report and fish btw. You are lucky to have a good cook to reward your hard work.
I have never caught a luderick, but I think pelagics like tuna have a really exciting first run and give the rod very strong, high pitch vibrations.
Don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but that cook was me, haha, alright I am bragging a little...

What jigs do you use mate? I've given a couple 20 and 40g koika jigs a go with a fast retrieve/sink and repeat technique. You seem to have it worked out mate would be keen to pick your brain!
I use IMA gun, 40g and 60g depending on condition. Basic theory is find where the fish are at, be it surface or down deep, then focus working your jig in that section of the water. That is the major advantage of fishing with jigs, it is so versatile.

Glad to hear that the pelagics are finally making their way in.
Thanks Mike!

I posted a pic of sashimi I made, looks familiar? XD
