Penguin Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well Well Well,what more can I say, You now know how to get the Kingys goin, you certainly deserved that King mate and the next few that im sure you are goin to catch. I've been out bush last 7 days,so I didnt read your report till now,and it was a good read. U didnt say though what bait you used,and what method you used to catch the king,Im keen to find out. Anyway well done top report and capture. Cheers Penguin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
