Nice effort Steve - not so easy to get Kingies land based, but a whole lot harder to land them. Good job

Nice job mate, nothing replaces the feeling of the “King hit” and run (except sterling in the net & then releasing to fight another day)

I had dropped the kids from school at Luna Park for a school excursion and drove the bus to park under the bridge. Aldi had a special on 7’ Shimano telescopic rods with a reel (el cheapo, but hey it is Shimano) - perfect for sadly fish addicted school teacher (Deputy) totake for a quick flick when anywhere near the water.
the result - 7lb snapper on a piece of chicken, at Kirribilli- right under the bridge.
kids were stoked.

Planning to, head out fishing wide off TERRIGAL on the weekend, the weather had been so crook and past three weeks with heavy rain and big seas so when there was a break on Saturday I grabbed it.
Haven’t caught a Kingie for 3 weeks and went wide on Saturday - perfect conditions, lots of live bait and target species within 1/2 hour and now bag limit is one - stopped fishing for Jews.

Great effort - pumping nippers is almost as much fun as pulling in the fish, but fish are better to eat

I’ve been out three times in the past week and each time I’ve got good squid, both in size and number.
last trip (Saturday) 9 were boated, 2 annoyingly lost with lures returning with bits of the candle attached (need to be more gentle in future).
They appear to have moved off the deeper sea grass beds and into the shallower kelp and there are a few “Crakens”amongst them, but also some little ones. A month ago there were quite a few little cuttlefish coming in also, but haven’t got any in the past 4 trips.
WARNING - one of my buddies was squidding over near the “Toilet rolls” ( big white circular appartments in Many bay) and was issued a fine. This is / was an excellent squid ground, but not worth it.
Nearly every time I go out on Sydney harbour I am checked by Fisheries, Maritime or water police - I am always compliant and have always found the services polite and positsive, but they are very vigilant.

I was hoping for one of the big winter kings that are around this time of year, but alas not happening yet

Brilliant effort, no “Baby blues” they are good fish and good to hear you looked after them getting onto ice

Hi Raiders,
Im still chasing Kings - Went out with fellow raider Evan and Duncan over the past few weeks and had a great time. The forum has been a great place to “hookup” with fellow fisho’s.
Last week we tried a few spots and over a few days with 12 one day and 84 another - Yep 84. They were all rats, but still good fun. Last week I got busted up a few times fishing with 80lb braid and 130lb fluro’ - Evan boated a nice 70+
God was indeed good - still coming to grips with 84 in one session (best hook up was 4 at the same time - all boated - and released.
