    Cheers

  2. Good stuff Guy... I'm sure they made up for the few that smoked you on the heads a couple of weeks back.

    What was the deal with the fishing - were you on board a charter? Are they reasonably priced. Very keen!

    Brett

    G,day Brett how are you.

    mate i was on a charter.

    price was around $140 half day

    It is such an easy get away , 1 and a half hour flight from Syd.

    no mucking around when you get there , was in the room then snorkling neds beach getting smothered by xxxl hoodlums within an hour of the plane landing.

    2 easy.

    let me know im keen to go back , ill need a weeks notice :thumbup:

  3. Well done on the kings guy. :1yikes: They are some big bruisers.

    One question for you, were your arms that big before you left for Lord Howe or is that a result of the workout the kings gave you !!!!

    cheers

    G,day penguin it sure is a lovely part of the world ,and the fishing is unbelivable ,i fished off the rocks and was using small live blue fish for bait and getting smoked on 50lb no chance.

    hey mate got back after crissy.... great fun! are there still hundreds of sharks hanging around?

    Yeah there were a fair few about , you had to pull the kings ect in pretty fast or they would get munched and a 6 footer would be on the end of the line ,all fun and games (for the first 10 mins) felt like reeling an otto bin full of water in.

    Mate i reckon u could have thrown a piece of bread on your hook and pulled in a hood or big trev it,s by far the most fishy place i have been my shoulder is pretty sore from winding. :biggrin2:

    Still cant beat ya sydney harbour kings ( they seem to go much harder pound for pound. :thumbup:

    cheers

  10. post-4239-1207481143_thumb.jpgG,day raiders

    quick report

    Headed out from Tunks with my mate shane this morning in hope of some more kings.

    Headed straight to the usual bait grounds for squid (hard work very quiet) only managed 3 small arrows.

    so off to get some yakkas , gathered a few quiet quickly so off we went in search of kings.

    droped a yakka down 12 foot on the scotty , and a live squid on the other 25 foot deep , idled around the usual spots for not much but peckers :thumbdown: .

    armed with 1 squid left and a tank full of yt we then headed over to my new spot x

    again within 5 minutes to my suprize off goes the yellowtail zzzzzzzzzz quick (tuff) fight and our 1st king of the day was boated.

    Back down fast with the squid on 1 , and yakka on the other , we score almost an instant double hook up

    another good little fight (not to mention tangle) and another 2 were landed.

    By the time we managed to untangle (cut) and re rig new lines up we only managed 1 more king and a bust off.

    Then all went quiet , (funny that) some days you pull up on top of a school for mulltiple hook ups.

    Where as other days you use half a tank of petrol trying to locate the kings.

    Got a lot to do with good old luck i think.

    All in all had another top day on the harbour (watched a little red bull flutag) and nearly ran over some nut :wacko: swimming in the harbour (anyone see that guy maritime and cops were all over him ) lol.

    p.s biggest fish was around the 75cm mark we kept 2 and released 2.
