Piss'n'Broke Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Was just wondering if anyone has tried holding a hooked kingy to try an bring others up???? On the several occasions when myself an greg have brought a hooked up kingy with followers, an dropped another bait down for the followers,,,,,, ITs been a bloody nightmare! Lines tangle, bustoffs, an the cream of the cake, not 1 kingy lost but TWO! Just wondering if anyone has tried it? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingrod Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Ive done it. But only if the fish that is hooked looks undersize (incase you loose it and miss out on dinner) Its ok if you have at least 2 people on board and then only throw one other line in. Nothing worse than a tripple hook up. I normally keep the "hooked" fish just below the boat so it cant swin far enough away to cause much of a tangle.

Guest DV8 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yeah my mate reckons in the old days blokes actually tied one kingie off to the boat. To me though "its just not cricket", and may help explain depleted fish stocks. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 We do that on a regurlar basis but sometimes you have to keep the hooked fish in the water for 5 mins to bring his friends up. In regards to tying up a live king to the side of your boat, Im pretty sure that is now illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsRule Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, it worked today at clifton, a single hookup quickly turned into a tripple! just by putting baits in close range to the hooked fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
