    thnx i just started fishing this year and i don't really know the size limits :wacko: so yeh first time using tailor as bait prob wont be a next time since stingrays are huge :( forgot to post in the thread that we caught a 40cm tailor :thumbup: but i guess its all good since i threw around 25 of them back in

    Good chance for you and your mates that you fish with to learn the rules.. They are their for a reason :)

    Here's a link to a download that will have all the saltwater rules..

    Hey steve,

    Thanks for the fishing trip on saturday first of all. Was good to get out and try the old plastics. That pot we caught the squid is a productive spot over summer, but remember that marker where I said it holds squid too if the wind blows the other way.

    nice healthy rat there, seems like the time of the day plays alot when goig for the rats at spot x.

    I should be out this sat if you want to jump onboard the squidboy vessel lol

    Cheers for the day out once again.

    Yeah i'm keen to try the marker you pointed out - I will be making it a regular stop off on my sessions.

    Definately, that spot holds kings 90% of the time but late afternoon shows a marked increase in hookups/follows. I'm heading out this afternoon again with Daleyboy for our regular midweek session.

    Saturday is looking the goods - would love to go for a run on your boat mate.

    I'll give you a call later in the week.

    good job skunga!

    dont know why you tried all day on squid and yakka! youve been killing them on the plastics(of all sorts).

    the way your going you could probably chuck a rubber band on a jighead (actually id like to hear that in your next report) :074:

    Ha, ill give anything a go.. ive got some big rubber bands sitting at home.. just add some scent and whack it on the jighead.. ha what do I get if I bag one?

    We were trying with the baits as the plastics were just not firing.

    I think it has much to do with the amount of boats out - I hadn't fished in the morning on a saturday for a while now.. dayum - so much traffic and everyone chucking plastic around..

    give me an arvo sunset session anyday! (will be out there tomoro arvo)

    Beautiful Kingy Skunga.. what plastic did you get him on? :biggrin2:

    6inch stickbait - a brandless number that i picked up cheap..

    in a flouro green/yellow pattern with lots of speckles.. fished on a heavy jighead.

    Hit the water at 430am on saturday morning - An ominous looking sky and still a lot of wind blowing it didnt look too fishy - I met up with Squidboy in Balmain and we set off in search of some yakkas.. no luck..

    Hit up my usual position and we were onto a few 30cm tailor.. certainly not the runs of early season kings!

    after a few torn up plastics, Dale rocks up and has a few shots.. no luck.

    We head off in search of squid.. many spots tried but with no luck. I managed to pick up one perfect size for kings and had him out live at various markers around the place. No luck - downrigged and all.

    Dropped Marco off, then sat in the sun with Dale trying for something to take home. No good..

    An enjoyable session, albiet minus the kings, but great to have a fish with a raider.

    I took the boat out again on sunday late in the afternoon. I was getting smashed by the wind and wash from all the weekend warriors coming home.. really frustrating to have 40ft cruisers come thru at 20knts about 10m away, waving... I got wet several times :ranting2:

    anyway, just on sunset the wind died down and i managed a few drifts past my fave spot..

    how sweet it is after all the frustration to be rewarded - 67cm ratking on placcie

    Headed home after that :thumbup:

    Very early session planned for saturday morning..

    Scaling up our usual assault & going to work some deep holes that we have been sounding at our mark.

    Hopefully all goes to plan.. cause I have a feeling of a magic-metre king is imminent :1prop:

    If it doesn't eventuate, I will be just as happy to be out there - I need it - Family probs, work pressure and now the :wife: is kicking up a stink..

    And Skunga if you wana find some of these king that are everywhere can you please send them my way ive been a little quiet.... seems they must all be in the harbour main and havent really mooved into mh yet!!!!

    If you are looking for kings at this time of year.. forget about the usual summer haunts - they are WELL upstream. You are looking for strong current, forming eddy's from structure(or bottom contour) that they can hold in. I like the lower end of the tide and lately we have been getting them with much more consistency in the arvo's than the mornings.

    Just get out there! :1prop:

    To funny, mine is a similar story only hooked one one a 5 inch lumo shad as i left it out behind the boat as we made our way up for another pass at a fad, so i guess you could say that i trolled up my first king on plastics..... i got him in but he was only a little tacker!!!! :thumbup:

    The more you give the kings the more they will give back - if you are gentle with them *sometimes* they can be turned and boated with ease.

    Ahh all this talk of kings...

    the wind looks light this arvo and i was in at work early again this morning - looks like ill be giving them another crack solo today.

    on fire boys! on fire! :devil:

    Glen couldn't believe his luck, he was even falling over himself(and the boat)!

    ...the placcie hadn't sunk more than 2m on the first cast - doesn't get better than that!!

    Dale and I are having a 'who-can-get-the-biggest-king-on-the-lightest-gear' comp this season haha

    on 10lb the guy has a death wish!

    :1prop:

    ps: Ill post a pic when i get home tonight - pics are on my phone..

    I always try to pull up to guys like that and politely explain what they are doing wrong and how with some fishing etiquette and co-operation with the other fishos that they can all benefit ( just as skunga said ) However, from my experiences in the majority of cases these weekend warriors seem to think they know it all and it hurts their egos to be given advice in front of their passenger mates.Sometimes you just cant educate mugs. :thumbdown:

    Unfortunately, this is true in some cases...

    Heh, once the school is put down a few times i tend to tie on a few old sinkers and start casting at said weekend warriors.. they soon get the idea "clunk" :1prop:

    as much as this frustrates me, using the forum as an outlet won't really change much...

    I suggest, politely, motoring up to them and helping them by sharing your knowledge.

    You can bet that if they are newbies, they wont do it again, especially with the promise of more fish.

    You can even expand on the story and explain that they will get the bigger ones by being stealthy.

    I'd bet my last plastic stickbait in a school of kings that they wouldn't turn down catching bigger fish.

    Steve.
