hook'm

hey thanks Matey congrats on your second post young champion!

Yeah that wind sorta ruined it, i remembered you from the neilsen park sesh a couple of weeks ago mate,you looked very busy at the helm yesterday while Rob was at the back on rod duty. Did you catch the 95 where we were yesterday?

Thanks Champion! I was fishing in my boat

yeah it is probably an Amberjack very similar at that small size often confused with samsons had beautiful light purple shoulder colouring with a slight band over the eye ...... and a light yellow coloured line running the length of the body at lateral line when i bled it...... which species is it anyone ??Seriola Fasciata or Hippos?????????????? it was caught on a fresh INKY squid head

Hit The Harbour this morning for a bash managed to get 20 odd squid .....lucky anchored up at around 6am and persisted in one spot. Ended up with 8 Kings,2x Sampsons and a 50 cm Tailor ....a couple of the kings had followers so i dropped another bait after landing the first to get the follower and was successful twice...... a bit chaotic on your own but great fun smallest king was 63 and the biggest was around 73 or so Here are some pics.. I kept the first king i landed which was 68 cm and the second sampson as the first was only 40 cms everything alse was released!

Ahhh 3 cms out I love the thin yellow line running the length of the body Lovely fish mate imagine a double hook up with two of that size ! lol

w00t!!!!!!!!! What a great fish! i call it at 98cm's!!!!!!!!!

Mate they were between 10 and 12 cm but that fat 65 cm had a 16 cm yakka in its belly i was a bit gobsmacked

yeah Dan it was a beautiful day .. My son sat down after battling the 70 cm king and said "now i know why you do this!" haha he had a dumb grin on his face for the rest of the day!! Im out on monday if your out ill see you then mate! Rod i hope your getting better ..recovery is a bitch. Mate the young bloke caught both his kings on yakkas and i have never caught a king on a yakka!!!..only squid!! so he has one upped me there cant wait to see you downrigging everything in site mate get well Cheers mate Jason

Took my son and his mate out on sat for a romp on the harbour to see if i could get them onto their first kings........ all in all they landed 2 each with me getting one (i was busy ) Biggest was a 70 cm caught by my son Jarrah as you can see hes pretty happy His mate with a FAT 65 Also hooked up with Timo1 and Dano1 Beautiful day on the harbour cheers

Mike its still good to make contact with a hoodlum....even if it is brief I took my son and his mate out yesterday and they are no longer king virgins Jarrah (son) caught a 70 cm and a 65 his mate caught two 65's and myself one 65 I am yet to land a king with a yakka but my son landed both of his fish on yakka..... can you believe it! any way in regards to braid i use either the biminitwist to connect my braid to leader......or the albright knot. Then only ever use the uniknot for connecting swivels and hooks because its quick and easy and strong. Cheers Mike Jason

Mate thats a GREAT Jew!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work mate id love to catch a Cobia great looking fish cheers

Mate bad luck,was hard slog today thats for sure i took Dan from Dan and Greg out today Hung out with Dano1 for the day too he got a nice 70 cm king we got 10 arrows and 3 southerns 2 legal kings and a throw back shitloads of rain/wind horrible conditions good company though Cheers Mate

Nice Work MIKE! Good to see fish being caught of a boat like that!

nice work man apparently THE ONLY WAY the aussie salmon can be eaten is if you put the fillets in a smoker and smoke them fresh they come out firm/white/ dripping and taste great big white chunks of juicy flesh im keen to give it a go i bet the missus is pleased her rod and reel work cheers
