Cracker fish well done good to see someone getting into the kings.
Shame we never saw the one that bricked you

Crawling gold.
Yep. Ditch the pool, start selling your Mudeyes

I dont reckon it is as skinny as it looks.
He has de-inflated its swim bladder from underneath to make it stop moving.
Nice fish chris!!
Ceph will never look skinny.

Frozen works just fine. In some situations it out fishes live, and vice versa.
Ahh
the joy of difference in opinion. :-)
Personally, it's my opinion that at THIS time of year is not the time to be collecting the squid to freeze for future use.
The squid are breeding and its not the time to taking the mums and dads from the water, we need em to do what they do, if we start taking away the breeders, its just going to make it harder squiding for the summer in front of us.
but again
Thats the joy of difference in opinion.
See you on the water

I'm with you Ceph.

Hi chris
I have all the SOL up to 4000. ( think thats as far as they go )
great reels, however slightly disappointed with the 2000, Just doesnt have the same feel as my advantage.
Its worth a look, and see what you think. ( its cheaper too )

looks to me that we have the same trend as last year.
The big Sydney Harbour kings ( fish between 88 and 105cm ) left on the 27th of April. Well, 73 of the 74 fish that were tagged with a radio transmitter all pasted North Head on that particular day.
Then Pittwater fired up for about a month afterwards.
I know where i'd be fishing this weekend.

We had salmon schools on Sat and Sun in the Harbour.
Not big schools, but they were on the top feeding on Sat, and we got amoungst them on the bottom on Sunday

yep still around.
got a nice 80 today, and some cracking tailor, 6 of, all between 45 and 60 cm.
all inside the harbour

they were shy around summer especially the big ones....
Its just i've never seen a squid jump 2-3cm out off the water to grab a bait
I know about the humbolts they are beasts
I think this coming year is going to be the best squid year...
Never seen them jump out of the water, but have had them take a jig skimmed over the top of the water.
What is special, and esp this time of the year when the big fellas are paired up for breeding, is when you hook one, and its partner follows it in to the boat, if your real lucky, you can get a double hook up. It does happen, although i've only done it once, and been close a couple of other times.
Those other times, i've caught the partner almost instantly as the jig hits the water again.

proof is in the picture
the first day we had around 12 hook ups landed 6-7 kingys i didnt have my camera 2 days later we caught another 3 kingys this time i took the camera yes the proof certainly is in the picture.
I'm refering to big kings, not those little fella's.
I guess my best advise is to go with what you think is the best option, looks will often sway you towards the holder of choice.
I have made plenty of mistakes when it comes to rod holders, which is why i'm currently having mine custom built, and they will be welded to the boat. Ugly as, but what i need.

Gday Gazza.
Ive got to say that i would have my money on the boathoist over your plastic fantastic numbers.
Its a long story, but i have had a king this year pop the rivots on a stainless rod holder. no word of a lie.
There have been some very serious fish this year, and i'm hoping this continues to next year

They look like a good idea, and would suit most fish that you target.
I will say that if your after some of the bigger kings, they look a little too vertical, much like the ones on my boat, and the reason that i have snapped 3 rods this year.
Just something to consider.

hi, im pretty sure i know the tripod you guys are reffering to, the one just before the big yellow buoy as you pass rosebay?
is it a no anchoring zone? iv never actually noticed a sign there?
Yep.
Best you get a chart which will show you the no anchoring zone. The Zone itself is actually a very large area,
It actually runs all the way Sth of the Tripod to Shark IS. There is alot of cables and pipes etc in that area, which are owned by teh Navy, hence the reason they dont want any anchores dropped in that area.
-
They are still around, but not in the numbers we are used to.
We managed a few rats and a mate was smoked as well.( on Sunday )
Be warned anchoring on the Tripod. Waterways WILL book you.

Tried to PM but didnt work. I know we arent meant to put links to other places, but go to this shop and he is good to deal with. He sells gear you wont find at all in Australia. Patriot gear is nice and very limited here but has some great light tackle gear thats not available here either.

Hey Raiders
Does anyone know of any good tackle shops in / around Honkers.
If so, would you have any web site address

20kg drag ?? bit of an overkill.
Ceph is on the money, 80lbs braid, 100 lbs leader. Set the drag so its bloody hard to pull of with your hand, ( that will be alot less than the 20 kgs as previously mentioned )
I prefer to leave the rod in the holder, and let the fish hook itself.
For those that just have to hold the rod and cant leave it alone, make sure you resist the tempation to strike too early. If you feel a decent nudge, do the opposite, instead of striking the fish, drop the rod and go with it till you cant go any lower, then hit the fish.

Happens to me on a regular basis....
Hmmmm
So in summary
You often fish Oblisk for jew, in the hope of bending your rod, and while playing with some plastic's your rod gets tugged off the bank
And you do this often
Interesting

I Think the lack of posts may also have something to do with everyone going back to work and school, but you're probably right, inside the harbour it has been a bit better than this at times throughout summer but i like autumn for fishing, the fish always seem to be at their fattest stocking up before winter sets in.
Cheers

Lets hope the big fella's come back.
We have had an awsome time this summer, our best day was 15 bust ups and 4 fish landed, all 98 - 102 cms
As for the squid
I have to disagree
i think this has been the easiest year ever on the squid.
We got 15 two days ago, and we were worried that we'd run out really quick
I would say that on average we have been getting between 20 and 30 starting at 6 am and finished by 7.30 - 8 am
i reckon thats good going
