Just a second opinion for you VO, If the bonito are actively feeding on the surface try casting small metals at them in about 10gram size rather than trolling through them as it will often send them down. besides its more fun anyway. I pulled in a few bonito out of the harbour on friday and it was a fish a cast on my bream gear with a 10 gram slug. Hope that helps

Probably going to be on the water about 530 am latest i think. Try for some squid early then yaka's I just talked my old man into coming to so i might have to get him onto some salmon for a bit of a show if we cant find the kings.

Hey guys im heading out on the harbour early tomorrow, anyone going to be around?

But damn its fun catching 3 kilo salmon of the rocks with 2 kilo bream gear!!!!

Wow they are some monumental lizards! Well done:thumbup:

Top work on an lb King!!!

Hey guys, Just thought i'd share some info for those planning a trip out soon. We visted the botany fad on sunday it was showing 20.1. Saw one boat pull in what looked like a 60ish kilo marlin but didnt see any showings of dollies and we had no live baits to drop down (silly move by us). trolled out past the shelf then down to the haking fad. We found 22.1 in the 160-180m mark and some pretty blue water as apposed to the green surounding the botany fad. We worked long and hard but didnt find a single bait ball the whole day and the current lines were only resonably small. When we were approaching the haking fad we saw a pup mako of around 1.5 m launch into the air and also saw a large marlin of 100kg + jump and we thought our luck would change but finished with a big donut after putting in an hour or so trolling round the fad and throwing some jigs and down to see if we could excite a dollie and also floated as well as burlying with some pillies but no go. overall it really was a desert for us with not many birds or bait. Thats game fishing i guess though! Probably should have spent some more time getting livies before heading out. Cheers Fishlexic

Well done guys! I hate loosing hard caught squid to taylor...... I hate it even more when a salmon takes my downrigged live squid. Its only happened once but ooohhhhhh that sambo was so close to giving me a reason to try eating salmon again!!! I recently bought my first boat and lie you dad taught me how to fish (well sort of) so now its time to return the favour!!! Hopefully ill be able to get him and my sister onto a king so the understand this passion of mine that takes up half my waking hours!!!

Nice work netic, I should finally be picking up my first boat this week as all the guys i used to go out with have moved north. Hopefully they are still on the chew in the next few weeks.

Hey guys. Just wanted to know if anyone has any good gps marks or spots for south west rocks. I'm heading up there for the weekend to fish the inshore grounds if the weather permits. If not the river will have to do. Thanks in advance.

Awsome fish guys. Well done!

Thats freaking unreal!!!! Well done!

Great day full of action and some great dollie fillets to boot! Awsome!

To easy!! Congrats on your first jews! Good work catching bream on plasticks the first time you tried.

Well done on your first! And as people have already said, You wont forget it in a hurry!

Sounds like a great day on the water!!!! heaps of dollies around at the moment! not to many biguns though. shame about the hookups. What rigs are you running? stiff? single ? double?

Nice work on getting the little fella onto some fish! we have been really slow at the moment as well with the dollies and a few stripped tuna saving the day! Lost about 5 jig at 12 mile and the peak the other day so the answer to everyone is yes the jackets are still there!

Great fish well done!!!!

Great fish well done!!!! If it makes you feel any better i lost about 5 jigs at the peak today!

Top gts well Done!

Nice work. Congrats. That's game fishing for you with themarlin but the flipside is youhad some great action out there anyway.

Great work ill bet he wont forget that in a hurry!!!

Some great fishing and a bag of dollies and a jew is not what you hear about every day!!!!

Yeah we worked the area for a long time and only had about 2 showings on the sounder the whole morning which may have been kings so they definitely werent out to play. We probably should have fished the harbour instead but hey isn't hind sight a beautiful thing!!!!

Yeah sorry guys didn't specify.... we were targeting kings only. Im sure there is plenty of other quality fish around like snapper as there is still bait.... we just couldn't find a king to save ourselves.
