Nice bag and a good feed for all!

Great post, always good to read about Raiders getting together for a fish even if the weather doesn’t read the invite🙏🏻

Gotta love flatties when they get air! Nice landing on 6lb👌

Still a 3 course meal Dave, crabs the star this time!

Thanks, The lud had some decent fillets on it! Thanks Dave, the 6lb got a workout and I was happy for my son's mate getting a decent king first up....lucky boy! Thanks Crabstar, poddies were big ones and have been hard to get for me this season too. Last season I could bag out in 30minutes:( Thanks! It's a good feeling to get youngsters onto a decent fish and the lud was my bonus! Good to know Chris, the boys went out an hour earlier and could only manage a few, I'll try those jigs next time!

I took my son and his mate out for a fish this morning to try and get one of them onto a king. The boys left early to go and catch some yakkas but only 3 were secured and pretty big ones. I picked them up and headed up river to try to get a few poddies to bulk up the live bait. Dropped the trap in and the tide was starting to crank in. The boys each put a yakka on and we slow trolled them through a channel into deeper water and my son's mate's rod bent over. Drag was set very light and the fish took off with ease, I helped him tighten the drag and then the fight began. Fortunately we were a good 100m from any moored boats and after a good fight up comes his first king at 78cm! We dispatched it and put it in the chilly bag with some ice bricks. We were all pretty happy with that result at 8:30am and collected a few poddies from the trap and soaked them on the troll in a number of spots for no joy. I dropped the boys back at the wharf about 11am and headed to the flats to try a few nippers I had collected yesterday arvo. There wasn't much run or wind so the action wasn't that great but I managed a feed of whiting a a bruiser of a lud, coming in at 46cm, a PB for me. Off the water by 12:30:) Just finished cleaning the catch and I'll take some kingy fillets as commission and give the rest to my son's mate:)

Great stuff Bob!

No Larkin is a jet ski fisho, he does the right thing!

Cracking haul Mass! The whiting must follow you around:)

Very well conditioned too!

I like the bravery of light line so when you do land a cracker it will be memorable! I fished 6lb the other day and luckily only small flatties liked that lure, otherwise it's touch and go if they swallow the lure:)

How about we get all the non-fishing jetskis into a square km offshore and they can play gladiator until they are all wiped out:)

Nice work Mike, I've got so many one off surface lures I have procured over the years....always good to get fish on a HB:)

Imagine the size of the flathead or Jew that would have a go at that tank😜

Maybe they should ban all of them except Larkin:)

Thanks, I've been working on the whiting and haven't fished the Georges for over 6 months! Thanks Dave, at least in the Hacking I can fish flats when the jet skis are everywhere! Poddies have been harder to get for me too, only managed 6 of mixed size but as you can see in the pic, flatties smash any size!

Nice breambos Dave, and nice to rescue a soapy too! Maybe this rain will stir things up a bit:)

Tasted great, nice thick fillets and similar to swordfish:)

Hit the Georges for the first time in many months after collecting a bare 6 poddies in the Hacking yesterday. On the water by 7am and tried for some squid at Kurnell but no joy although a rat king followed my jig up. Saw about 20 pelicans and 100 seagulls following bust ups of tailor around Sans Souci. Headed up to one of my deep water spots to fish the run out and hopefully pick up a jew but picked up a nice flatty in the high 50s on a paddle tail SP. Landed a smaller model on a large poddy and another in the mid 50s on the SP. Switched to a shallow bank and picked up another 2 flatties one on livies and lots of undersized on a new prawn imitation lure. Ended up with a nice bag and dispatched all fish from the livewell back at the ramp as my ice packs were left in the car. Just filleted all the fish and after seeing flathead tails at $60 per kilo, glad to have a stash ready to go! Btw the number of jet skis on the Georges is completely insane😡

It's not the size of the fish in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the fish:)

Great stuff Bob! Great looking fish and conditions!

Great report and nice to see a plan come together on a holiday break. Looks like a great birthday bash!

That’s a great catch on a live bait, keep them coming!

Great story Basil! Always good to get into some good fish while on holiday and you sure made your niece and the crew happy with a fabulous bag!

That’s a day out Bob! nice returns in and out of the harbour and what a day for your guests!
