Great report Tony, you 3 are tearing up the harbor lately.

Hello all, just wondering how people prepare there kingfish for sashimi? Just wondering do you just skin and fillet and bone it then cut up into thin strips? Ive never done it before so am only guessing, didnt think it would be too complicated. Or am I missing something?

Congrats mate - ILL HAVE A COUPLE DOZEN BEERS FOR YOU Im heading out on the harbor for a couple hours tomorrow with Black CC (Tony) to chase some kings and the at lunch time heading down the south coast for a bucks weekend!!

onya mate well said. fyi i still leave my house unlocked when i go out but thats only because im after a insurance claim only kidding!!

Hello, Will there be Fishraider stickers and other bits and pieces to purchase at the social?

Hello raiders, Im looking to go for a fish Friday morning but unfortunately for me the needs the car for work. If anyone has a car that is able to tow my 4.7m Aluminium boat and wants to fish for kings let me know. I live in Cremorne and will launch from Tunks Park (5 minutes away). My plan would be to go chase squid and yakkas at around 5am and then go chase kings for a few hours. I need to be back at the ramp by 10.30 so it would only be a quick session. Post or PM me if you are interested.

Well done mate, theres no better feeling then getting your first king (well there is but its a family site )

nice looking king there mate, did you bleed him??

mate i installed my own and it works fine. If i can do it anyone can.

yes mate, terry hill and bob fultons son gone done

No need for the watties Byron when theres feasting on Kings to be done! Inhanzi we ended up with 3 for the day and done by a fair few more mainly because it was a training day for Booga to get him hooked

weather was fine mate up until we could see it come over near Watsons. We did head home but mainly because the races in Randwick were going to jump in an about an hour from when we left. It was good while there was not many other boats there.

well done mate, wish i was out there today.

Hello all, Took my mate Booga (Chris) out for a kingy session on Saturday morning. Weather looked bad and I was hung over but that wasn’t stopping us from getting out. We headed to the Spit for squid at about 430am but didn’t manage to land any so on sun up took off into the harbor with some fresh frozen stuff. Downrigged the first spot for about 30 minutes for no result. Booga isn’t really a fan of fishing and he probably thought dragging a big lump of lead around with 1 line out was garbage so I decided to head off to a marker anchor up and drop over a few rods. Not long after we got to the spot we were chatting away and Boogas line starts screaming he looks at me and says what the f!@# do I do. That one ended up dusting him but at least he saw some action. After a little while we pulled up the anchor and started drifiting past the marker. I had a couple bites and then came up solid on a king, after a few minute tussle a healthy 67cm king was in the boat and faith had been restored. We took off to another marker a little while later because I was convinced I could get Booga into a king. We baited up and drifted the marker and afte a couple of minutes Booga's line gets smashed at the same time as a wave hits the side of the boat, we both hit the deck but the fish is still hooked. I coached him through it and a nervous 3 or 4 minutes fight Booga lands a nice little king at 64cm. A couple minutes later I hook up again and have another good tussle with a king, this one went 67cm as well but was twice as fat as the first. We could see the rain coming from the East so we decided to call it a day there and head home for a feed of fresh fish and salad while watching the racing channel and having a punt. Another good day out and another king cherry popped!! I think Booga may have changed his mind a bit on fishing now!!

well done on the fish mate, were you downrigging with 2 other blokes in the boat off dobroyd on Saturday?

nice fish mate

well done mate, at least you got a mate over the line

vice versa mate

mate im going out rain hail or shine. If the wind does get up there are plenty of sheltered spots to drop a line. The king action was too hot.

I can easily tell you what that arc was Mike. It was one of Cephs rods still hooked up!! Id put money on it!!
