If only I had seen this post a long time ago - my gf has been living in tamworth for the last 18months for work - as such have been doing a lot of travelling to tammos.. Would have been good to catch up for a fish when I was up there - Unfort the gf is back next wed for good. Cheers Steve.

great effort - you must be stoked! keep em coming mate!

Nexus has it spot on raiders. Stop thinking that everyone else has 'special' spots better than yours. be confident when you fish - go out there with a plan & try something new for yourself. It makes fishing exciting and you will learn far more in the long run by fishing with an open mind. You never know - you might stumble across an awesome jew-hole and land a 22kg beast this way...

Just grab them by the claws(both of them).. pretty simple = if you are controlling them by the claws there isnt much they can do right? anyway works for me

really... in the harbour? what size/colour jig mate? I have tried in the past with no success

Anytime if you can put up with small 'tinny' fishing.

The kings have been VERY finicky lately - I have been having big schools chasing my lures and even snapping at them - so much so i've been putting a stinger hook in the tail of my plastics.. but to no avail. This is the trend with lots of reports of frustrating days - even the fly dudes can only pick up one or two. I had a few runs on the weekend on squid strips and baby yakkas free spooled. They will be on thick and fast soon, but unfort we are just going to have to wait it out. At least there are some BIG schools going around - and a few that are holding 10-15kg fish.. again just going to have to wait it out a little. tip: sometimes when i rock up to a marker I bash the christ out of my tinnie with a big screwdriver... quite a few times it's woken them up and first placcie to hit the water gets nailed.

Sounds like a great session.. Those choppers have been around for a few days now and there is some size to them as well. Glen, mark, myself and a few other fishos hit them up on tuesday evening. good fun - happy days. I want a few of those metre+ kings!

My03 - try and sound them out to find what depth they are sitting.. let your lure sink to that depth (helps to count it out - 10-12 seconds, depending on current, or let it sink all the way to the bottom) then two BIG rod length retrieves and a medium retrieve thereafter with twitches and pauses on the way in.

Good work on the flatties Dale, Marco and I scored a few there on saturday afternoon. Ha! got one on a 6" sluggo Cheers Steve.

Hitting up the harbour on Sunday for a session on the kings

Can any raiders recommend a good mobile outboard mechanic that they use? I'm located innerwest. PM me cheers Steve

haha too funny and very true!

Top work Marco.. Shame I was playing footy and couldn't join you.. I'll have to show you a few other jew holes in the area that I know of! Good luck up at Jindy on the weekend mate - we'll get into the kingies when you are back! Cheers Steve.

Pete - sounds great - gonna give it a crack next king that comes home with me.. Thanks for the effort. Cheers Steve.

I have the line come out the mouth then wrap the nose/beak with some small gauge wire.' Cheers Steve.

I'm with you on the FINS - top line - have been using it for years on three of my outfits.

Thanks for the responses guys - looks like there is def an online opportunity here.. Any of the site sponsors interested in a local online plastics store with me? (10 years of ecommerce exp here)

Justin, gotta be happy with that! Good work mate

Guys, looking for local(AU) based online suppliers of larger softplastic stickbaits. A lot of places have an extensive range of smaller placcies.. but little to offer the harbour kingy diehards Need to feed my addiction and my local tackle shops are not up to scratch. Cheers Steve.

top work - you must be stoked - 78cm isnt bad either!! A sign that its going to be a good season!!!

good work on the kingy! great work on getting your first of the season!

Heading out with squidboy on saturday morning for a session. Saturday afternoon, heading up to pittwater with my boat, and staying over night on Glen's yacht. Of course fishin all night long then hitting up the morning chasing those pitty kings. Steve.
