    Sydney kings going nuts

    Only 86 this year (had 3 months where not able to fish). I’m always happy to go out with others and “share the secrets”, but due to a pretty bad accident I have narcolepsy and need someone with a vehicle and tow bar to tow the boat (I do have a licence and can drive, but 30kS is about max before I fall asleep - not good for the passengers). I don’t have a charter operators licence, coxswain ticket and wouldn’t complete with the large number of operators trying to make a living as it is. There are some excellent hardworking charter operators who do an excellent job and usually happy to share with fishos, if there is reciprocation.

    86 fishing sessions..wow that is crazy considering the year we have had. .Back in the day when i was hitting harbour in early days of king resurgence i think i hit over 120for a year so you are on track to beat that so well done!! That was when name say and the other Bing was still around. But that was before child and when kings were just little and on the come back. Great to see where they are now....Still remember my  55 kings released in a day solo...that was a fun day. They are a great fish. Still have only ever cooked up 1 ..

    @Rippinglips You'll have to give us some more details on the rods like makers marks etc or a picture to get an idea. 

    Sounds like a plan. Have another old school rod that is a 3 piece but no makers as well it might suit it and a split cane which might be more fly. Also have some floats and a cane shoulder basket and old school net. It also has hooks with no eyelets and tiny leads....only know this as have had to empty out a cupboard to move for painting this week...funny how you forget what you have packed away!! Can get pics on weekend. Is there a for sale section as need to sell off other cane beach rods as well...

    Thank You Waza

    Hi,

    i picked up a couple of super flexible old school fibreglass rods about 7 foot long. Would they be of this era? Could picture your reel on one in a boat...top guide is porcelain i think. Have been custom built...both have a different colour scheme.  Cork grips. 

    Cheers

    Best way to troll a squid at 8 metres depth

    in Fishing Chat

    They only work at speed. You need to troll squid slowly. Best bet is to use snapper leads. We use to use them on a rubber band so if they got caught up they would snap off. Bit expensive though. Just tie them to a swivel a metre above your bait. You will need to mark out metres on mainline though if not using coloured braid.....

    Posted · Edited by rippinlips

    Hi,

    I picked up my new second hand Prado late on a Wednesday night. Next day drove to QLD to purchase my boat. Got back to Ballinna that day.

    Went to local rego place in qld  to get needed  papers  to tow it back. Had wife insure it as well. Drove back next day with new boat and car. Neighbours could not comprehend how this had happened in a day and half....house looked like the castle for a bit!!!

    Did trailer and boat stuff back here at place near Drummoyne boat ramp.

    good luck with it.

    cheers

    2016 Daiwa Certate

    G'day all,

    I have been meaning to pick up a 2016 Daiwa Certate as prices have dropped recently but I am lost for size as I believe reel sizes are not universal across brands..

    I'd be looking at something around the 4000-5000 Shimano equivalent and some research suggests I would be after the 3012h or 3500hd model.

    It is a replacement for my Stradic which broke over the weekend so I intend to use it for light beach work as well as a small boat outfit.

    Am I on the right track?

    I appreciate your time!

    Hi,

    Do you have a rod already or in mind. I have certates in the sizes you are looking at. Personally like them in smaller sizes then Stella's in larger sizes. 

    Cheers

    Hi gents,

    how things have changed but stayed the same. Overseas and came across some guys fishing rocks near a heap of surfers on beach. They had portable shelters set up. Looked like a shanty town with rods and stuff everywhere!! ....Walked out to the point and their gear was pretty average. Wasn't expecting much.. No Stella's or tiagras etc..have a chat and...... So they have a 25kg and 30kg GT in an esky.....they were using old looking rods and pen senators that wouldn't get a mention in Aus in the same sentence as GT.

    So they had anchor rods where they cast a heavy sinker close to drop off  (15ft to 100ft)and snag it. Then slide livies on fighting rods with a simple release line...

    I still have 2 seascapes and my spin rod. Sabre ss220 .  1/2 by 1/4 and hex bars chromed. Iron Coffin and Assasin. Now days it's a Wilson live fibre, 10'6. and a Stradic fk . 15 lb braid in the Surf. With Plastics.  Howard.

    Hi,

    i have a sabre light overhead built by a guy out penrith way way back....he did a lot of light tackle work. Not Miller. The woven work on it is impressive...

    That’s a cracker red, that is the fish I am chasing. Yep, it’s like when you fish float baits, the better fish definitely come well up off the bottom IMO

    For sure. Best thing was the day before my mate got one at 86cm and gave it to us all night until I knocked this one on the head! Got to love Coffs...

    Mate Scratchie and I know blokes that fish as light as 1/8th, yesterday we could of easily with the lack of current. There is a bit of science behind it you want your lure drifting down through the water column as slowly and naturally as the conditions will allow, the majority of the good reds will actually hit in the top 1/3 of the water column I have found. 

    My biggest snap at 87cm was hooked just under a school of baitfish up north. Expected a tuna or sonmething because it was so high up....
