Raiders First day out tmrw chasing the kings after a long winter. time to break the duck hopefully. I was hoping you experienced kingy catchers can give me some advice... when i'm fishing from a boat using a live yakka how much added weight if any should i use or am i better leaving the bait to work its way down the water ? i'll be giving a few big peeled prawns a go and just leaving them unweighted and if we jig up any squid putting one hook thru their heads ond using as little weight as poss. any tips please? Hoping to be able to give a bit back to the site once i have bagged my first King. Wouldnt care if it was a baby rat! any help really appreciated Claxton

Raiders Thanks heaps for the info. Am going to go and try landbased in MH this evening. Will let you know how I go. Hopefully I can start sharing tips rather than just taking them ! Cheers Claxton

Well Done fella this summer has to be the summar of PB's esp on the kingies. managed to have a rod pulled over the sid elast year and still havent popped the cherry ! it is becoming an obsession for me, i think reading a few of the threads i'm not alone! Get some Claxton

What bait were you using? I am a rubbish beach fisherman and am determined to up my game in the next few months Claxton

cheers fella. fingers crossed!

Cheers Flattie Hunter Would you let them drift down the berly trail to the bottom with minimum weight on? pretty large hook ? Heading off from Bayview where would you recommend this time of year? thanks for the tips Claxton

Morning raiders I noticed mullet strips in the local servo and am off fishing pittwater on the weekend. have any raiders tried these as a bait and what do you guys reckon? Will be using prawns and any livies we can get. Have any raiders had any successful trips out there recently. Prob going in from Bayview? Cheers Claxton

Cheers Tripper. Live over the other side so will have a go near the spit and let you know how I go. got some pellets and some cat food so fingers crossed Claxton

Ah but a cr%p days fishing beats a good day at work any day! If you're talking about the one around the middle of the harbour? I am thinking of having a go in the next couple of nights. any other ideas to help attract the fish? burley? livies? any help or tips greatly appreciated fellow raiders Cheers Claxton

Congrats Adz - you're now officially addicted, jsut like the rest of us! Good luck on your next PB Claxton

Cheers Musty Thanks heaps for your advice, it looks like Diawa might be the go. And as for the epic kiny battles - bring em on! tight lines Claxton

You too Fella Will be heading out with my old gear on sunday - good luck on popping the kingy cherry. i hda a rod/reel dragged over the side at North head last year. Didnt see the fish but definitely akingy looking bite. have been obsessed since. Will sort the new stuff out next week. Good Luck Claxton

fellow raiders, i'm in the market for a new reel and unfortunately my budget doeant stretch to a good small reel and a good big'un. Has anyone got any good suggestions for a good mid range all rounder that will do for light boat gear and land based efforts? Any suggestions and would be brilliant thanks. The Shimano Stradic or Tierra look like good all rounders, does anybody fish with these? Thanks heaps Claxton

Cheers Skramp, i usually use a uniknot for everything. will look into the others over the weekend and give it a go next time i manage some squid! thanks heaps fella and happy fishing. Claxton

Gday Raiders Can any of you let me know what is the best rig to hook a live squid/yakka to a float. Will be fishing land based around the northern end of the harbour. Can i expect Kingies until it gets too dark? What else would you guys expoect to catch? Sorry for all the questions. Long day at work and i need a fish. Cheers Claxton

Raiders have any of you tried the hydro squirt jigs from yo-zuri. They look the nuts and was wondering if any of you have had luck catching Kings with them. If not Kings what else have you guys boated. thanks again Claxton

Top fish Plankton. what bait were you using?
