Savage73 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi All, Went out late Friday night for a quick squid session and ended up with 11 or so. Dropped the boat in at Sylvania at 6:30am Saturday morning and decided to head out and try a new kingie spots I have been eyeing off. Arrived at 7:00am and began my berly trail and poured myself a cup of coffee and breakfast. Nothing happened in the first hour, then ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ rod buckled over and the fight was on. End result was a 70cm King…real happy. 15 minutes later, another king of the same size. After that it was on for young and old. Then the wildest thing happen. I ended up with a triple hook up. Must have been a hungry school passing. Out of the 3, I only landed 1 to 65cm. As I was pouring my 2nd cup of coffee I notice some surface activity. I grabbed my lightest rod (1-3kg with 6 pound fireline and eight pound fluoro trace) and decided to cast out a 7 inch Bass Assassin that Tony from fishfinder recommended to use. After about three cranks, the plastic was surfaced smashed. The fight was on. I ended up with a 55cm kingie. It was my first kingie on soft plastics and light gear… I LOVED IT and the fish was returned. Kings on plastics and light gear is awesome. I ended up with a total of 6 Kings. Took home 3 Kings for mum and the neighbors. I was back the ramp by 10:45am. Another great day on the bay. Richard (AKA Savage73) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkles Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Rich, that sounds like a pretty hot session, you were getting them all over the place. I hooked up a few smaller kings in the harbour last saturday, and my mate was busted by one much larger. So I agree, they are still around in numbers. arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
