rats can be a pain in the arse at times
we had 50cm rats smashing 10-20cm yakkas on the weekend
planning on using poppers on thur to try lure the big ones up
if you have a school of rats with some big ones mixed in i think its just luck to get a big one
the little rats will just smash any thing they see
-
with jiggs stick to the cheap ones
the cheap ones fall to the bottom just as fast as the expesnive ones when leather jackets chew threw your line

for only $50 more i would pick the more powerful transducer

Hi Ray ,
Slinky is on the money , Cotten cordell popper ,they are not cheap but will get you the desired results or cost you a fortune in lost lures..... Another good lure is they spray poppers , will try and post a couple of pics later , usually found in the bargain bins at your tackle store just need to upgrade rings and hooks if fishing heavy tackle . Fishing marker bouys or calmer water , Owner tango dancer 115 is a great strong lure out of the box , lots of action ( definatley a must have ). River to sea make a similar lure , rover 128 both work well, fished winding flat out of popper style fishing with pauses
Cheers Dogtooth....
. John.... cheers john looks like im off to the tackle shop again

yeh no guru but i have a few diffrent Halco Roostas
seen them being used in quite a few kingie dvds i have and those guys seem to no what there on about
-
the small ones make great live bait for kings
there little ink machines a kingie cant resist hitting it when it puffs a big cloud of ink it its face
be carefull when handling them ive had a few grab my fingers and bite me
but i would of bitten me too if i knew what was going to happen to me
-

-
heres one of mine from the weekend
do u think ill get in the record books for this one haha
-
thanks guys
checked the DPI website and there is no size restriction on these fish and can keep a total of 5
he didn't put up much of a fight didn't even have enough power to snap the elastic band on the downrigger
he stood no chance agaist the Saragossa with 50lb braid poor little guy ha
-
yeh tasty things too
cant wait till thur when i plan to get out there again and have another go at a big one
-
i believe the SA one is referring to aquaculture where they farm the fish
the NSW is referring to wild fish
-
not to worry i found out
“the estimated size at which 50% of females and males are sexually mature is around 83cm and 43 cm FL respectively. For males this size at maturity occurs at an age less then 1 year old
Growth is rapid being nearly linear between 1 and 11 years old with fish reaching the 65cm minimum legal lenth at around 2-3 years of age”

does any one have any idea how long it takes a kingie to grow from a little rat into those big guns we love to catch
-
taken on a live yakka while downrigging for kings
was released to catch another day
are they any good on the tooth
-
nice work Ray
how did the new reel go ?
i too got stuck into the kings on the weekend a big school of rats with some monsters mixed in
catching them on live yakkas and metal slices tried sluggos but couldnt get them to hit it they would just follow
forget to try out a big poppa might have to take a RDO and get out there again and try the popper
-
what are you guys casting at
people in boats ??
-
ill be outside tomorrow hitting up the wrecks and reefs in chase of those big kings weather permitting ofcourse
first stop will west head to fill up on livies then off to the reefs
just got back from the tackle shop stocking up on new supplies so hopefully all goes well
im keen for a fish pretty much any day of the week i have alot of RDO's to use up
so just shoot me a pm when you want to catch up for a fish
im always keen
-
fishing the reefs tomorrow like boutins trawleys and newport
and try some of the outside wrecks
i must get my king
-
why not just modify this one
ive seen a post on here of some one doing just that
its just a matter of extending the pole and the wiring
would look just as good as a original one
-
took the day off work and hit the pitty witth a mate for some kings
went off first to catch some squid
just as we start squidding a big school of tailor starts smashing the surface a few meters ahead
quickly change to small metals and proceed to catch a few
once they went deep we went back to squidding
squidding was slow only got a few which we planned on turning into kings
sadly it wasnt too be kings just wernt on the chew could see them on the sounder but they didnt want to take the bait
so not the best days fishing but a hell of alot better then being at work
water temp was at 21 inside pitty so things should really start to fire up soon
no pics im sure you already no what tailor look like
-

using a flashy jig is best as this acts as a attractant
or if you have no jiggs just some snapper sinkers
