Great post and top kings!

Cracking bag, bet they are full of roe! Enjoy the fillets!!

Nice work Scratchie, you showed the relos a thing or two and gave them a great experience and a feed!!

Great stuff!

Love a post with a cook up to finish off, well done!

Thanks for you comments guys.....it was good to persevere on a slow day to get a good fish, just reinforces that you have to have a line in the water every chance you get:)

Ribs I do plenty of Westfield believe me🤔

I used a juice bottle yesterday, they were everywhere at high tide in the shallows!

Thanks Yowie, I sharpened the knife and got to work in the arvo, some nice sashimi from the belly and some cracking little steaks:)

Headed out in the bay this morning for nada squid early so I headed around to a bait collecting spot and loaded up with poddies. Drifted around for and hour at a couple of spots with very little attention apart from a couple of tailor halving my baits. Then a phone call from my better half about 9:30am had me zooming around to to pick her up with coffees from the beach. We found a spot away from the jet skis and trolled a poddy around while I flicked a few plastics from the front of the boat. My livey line took off in about 2-3m of water and I set the hooks and chased it with the leccy. I was calling it for a salmon or jew or king and took my time as it headed up towards a bank a few hundred metres away. After about 5 minutes I got a visual on it up on a shallow bank and had a glimpse of a yellow dorsal:) Got the fish closer to the boat and called for the net. First attempt saw a front flip out then a few tense moments as it took off under the boat....perilously close to the outboard and the leccy. Second net attempt got the fish in and a holler of relief as I dropped the netted fish on the floor of the boat. No brag mat on board today so measured it at home at 75cm, a PB for me and second decent fish on the new rig. My wife brought me the luck today and what was until then a pretty disappointing morning despite the good tides and conditions. We took some shots and I dispatched it into the chiller bag with a couple of ice bricks. Had a relaxing swim nearby and then retrieved the boat at the ramp and battled the insane crowds on the way home. &%$#heads at the ramp loaded crap onto their jet skis on the pontoon whilst boats were waiting in line to come in. And now for some sashimi and a cold beer:)

Cracking bag! Good luck with the marlin:)

Great eating size!!

Epic report and catch! Well done and happy birthday...bait nippers?

Nice brace of flat chaps:) Who the *^$# invented jet skis???

Looks a natural!!

What a great haul! Fillets for all 10 guests:)🤐

Merry Christmas to all and may 2021 be COVID free and very fishy😁

That is Christmas dinner and conversation sorted, awesome fish well done!!

Always the way...plenty of unattended rod stories have ended in disaster but you came up trumps!

Nice work Pickles and good to see the catch on the plate!

Well done Yowie, some spot swaps and a good result overall...lovely red!

Any joy from the mullet baits on the beach?

Great post and awesome for the youngsters to get into the kings on light gear!

Nice report of a couple of days and a nice jew for the table!

Nice work and a great feed from the beach, enjoy the fillets!
