    Jigging Kingfish - Lorde Howe Island

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hi Raiders just a quick question about jigging in relations to kingfish. Heading to Lorde Howe Island chasing kingfish on the jig and am unsure about which rod to look into. I am tossing up between a Nitro Grave Digger PE2-5 max drag 26kg and a nitro Hell Raiser PE3-6 max drag 30kg+. They are both nice rods but obviously the 3-6 has a much thicker body. If anyone has jigged lord howe or jigs kingfish often any help is appreciated. I will be putting a Saltist LTD 5000 on it. 

     

    Cheers Tight Lines

    Hey buddy welcome down my way haha!

    Mate I've fished there a couple of times with no result but this was midday while the family was at the markets they hold there so that's probably why. Your best bet is going down at normal fishing times early in the morning and late afternoon/night.

    id go with soft plastics and prawns for bait. Also if you fish the area in the harbour that's after the fish and chip shop be careful as it is very snaggy, but in saying that I think it might hold some squid given the right time. 

    All the best mate, I hope you catch something, and look forward to a report if you do post it.

    Hi Guys,

    Was thinking of heading down around the Kiama Harbour area for a bit of a fish. Im trying to stick to all lures but if baits preferred in the area i will adapt. Any pointers are much appreciated.

    WHO SAID ITS TO WINDY TO GO FISHING!

    Hey Guys just a quick fishing report,

    Got home after work around 1am noticing that it was very windy. We made the decision and decided to go out on a quick 3 hour flick. Docked at Oatley Wharf at about 230 and were at Como 15 minutes later. When we got there it indeed was choppy and very windy. But this didnt stand in our way. 1 hour had passed and still only very few hits. We moved further up the shore towards a sandy drop off as noticed on our Sonar. We placed the Motor Guide on anchor lock and threw in a few casts. On about five casts each in, we both hooked up to two small 25cm flatties. Not much but still, better than nothing. We continued around the flats until i hooked up to something decent. A 55cm flattie that took a hella good run. After around 7 fish in we ended the day with a solid 34cm Bream making it around 8 fish. We returned home at around 6.15 making it a perfect day.

    Thanks.

    Catching Mullet for bait

    in Fishing Reports

    There are a lot of mullet around the Chipping Norton lake area at the moment. When we go flicking out there they are jumping out everywhere around the boat. I have also noticed people using mullet traps full of bread near the Georges River boat ramp (Georges Hall).

    Good Luck

    Hi Mick54,

    My dad and I have had this problem many times before as we have a Raymarine Dragonfly 6 with down vision. Most of the time we look for small round circles that we are sure to be fish (generally they are in clumps). I don't use that type of setting though, but that is more than likely to be bait fish going by.
