Well done mate ' top fish I was looking at your photo and thought your motor was a 40hp thought i might get out there my 40hp tinny - (not) I know mate she,s a big 140. nice.

Top effort mate' some nice fish there well done

nice king,s fella,s good work.

Good report mate and some usefull info indeed.

Good report mate, looks like you got a nice feed to

Mate that would have been one hell of a fish , shark. at least you all got a couple.

Thats one Thumper of a fish well done

Nice work on the kingy bro p.s nothing worse than weekend wariors in million dollar cruises going flat chat and missing you only by meteres , when there got plenty of room either side, and then giving a smarta@#^ wave

Yeah cant beat the squid head for kingy bait, Mate that is 1 nice fish. Ill land one that size (1 day) i hope.

Good work mate top pics ,and keeping fit at the same time sounds like fun.

No special technique Rick Mate i get inked every time i go out , the boat cops it as well (Full on) when the squid,cuttle squirt in the tank the water is quickly recurculated , with them squid in the photo i was trying to get a photo laying them on the centre console seat ,stacking them on top of each other they kept sliding off slimy little suckers,so i just laid them out on the floor theres more to the right that you cant see in the photo. I usally slip through car lovers on the way home and give the boat a wash. Cheers Mate.

G,day dan mate i thought id seen you somewere (browsing through these posts ) just fixed the boat ,was no drama, battery went a little weak (from running lights ,ffinder,livie tank,ect makes the starter motor drop down. just put another batt in and rewired ffinder,btank to it. All good now. p.s you snap locking your squid and freezing them for kings or eating em. Ive never eaten 1 before, i got over 200 frozen. I like squiding as much as fishing but i cant imagine catch and release (espesially after copping an ink squirt or 2) have to start cooking em. Cheers bro see you out there Guy

Top report mate , congrats on the 2 thumpers

lol

Mate at least you got out for the day and got a couple of fish , you sure got plenty of nice strips in that squid that the kings will munch on. Cheers and good luck.

G,day Ray mate dodging the ink squirts and copping a few is all part of the fun , i take my boat through car lovers car wash on the way home. Cheers Guy

G,day Noel mate you can set a similar live bait tank up without drilling any holes in your boat. Let me know iff you need any tips (very easy ) Better luck next time on the fishing , see you out there. Cheers Guy

Sounds like you both had a top day cant wait till my daughters old enough to take along

Good work fellas , imagine mid december , cant wait to start chopping in myself

G,day again went for another squid sesh after work Fri. My brother in law came along for company started off pretty slow for the 1st half an hour or so , then craig hooked 1 and droped back down only to hook another almost instantly , that one also came up with a wingman so i sat my jig no more than 20cmunder the water and wamo it was on. We did several drifts back and fourth and kept on landing em, it became a bit of a comp as craig kept in the lead (beginers luck) I was reeling the jig in for another drift when wack i thought i jagged a monster , had a tiny run and would you belive it a bloody tailor on a yozuri around 33cm thats a 1st for me. Starter motor on boat started playing up bigtime That put us out for about an hour and a half,finally got boat started after pulling bits and pieces off with the worst tools ive ever used (lesson) done a couple more drifts for a few more ( i hit the lead ) ended up with 33. Craig 14 me 19. By the way my brother in law Craig is now hooked P.S the fellas that were in the centre console squiding that offered us help THANKS HEAPS i should of taken it ended up drifting a mile away trying to wave u guys down. thought we were going to have to stay the night.

G,day James belive me theres plenty of ink throughout the boat ,and in my fingernails (lol) Mate recurculating 75 lrt tank keeps the water fairly clean. Cheers

Got out of work early yesterday headed straight to my favorite little squid spot in the harbour kicked off squiding around 6 ish packed up 930ish ended up with 37 , including 6 cuttle , most fairly small good bait size , snapped locked em , dropped em off at mums in city as i have no more freezer room aint happy lots of squid around was jigging up to 4 on a single 50 metre drift. All in all good to be out in amongst it , cant wait for the kings. Cheers

Good work on your 1st surgeon

Top report mate and congrats on yor 1st king of the season.

Good work on your 1st king of the season , bet theres plenty more to come.
