miller Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 hi all Me and robo headed out friday night to chase squid got 20 in about an hour and a half so was happy with that and settled in for the night woke to my livie pump making strange sounds at 3am just before i could turn it off it stopped tried to get it to go again but it was dead back to sleep and woke at about 7am headed into MH found a moring and first drop so a good start dropped a couple then it went quiet so decided to move headed for the spit and the pink markers pulled up and sent some baits down dropped a small bait down on my 5ft bait caster and 2 winds and its off tried to so it down as it was heading for the mored boats then snap my custom rod and the fish wins its freedom So i pull anchor and down rig back the the first spot dropped the baits again and bang were on again this brings a smile to my face again and robo in the next hour we boat another six and a snapper 38cm we keeped 6 kings in total and release the rest all fish that were boated were legal not on under 60cm so a goood and bad day cheers miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolan Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Mate,that was sooooooooo good to see the kings are still there. Most thought that they were sort of all but gone. Just remember, "Its war out there, We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the shores, Its not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country, I....had a dream, that all men shall be created equal" Whoops................ sorry........... got side tracked. Sorry about your rod and pump. Casualties of War ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmzbeast Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 rob are they the ones you got from the fish market that day ???how much did they cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Nice work mate.... The king on the bottom in the first photo kinda looks under 65cms though, Dont forget they bumped up the minimum size for kings!!!! Also dont forget that if you get one right on 65 that they sometimes shrink a couple of cms after you bleed em so by the time you get back to the ramp if the fisheries officer is wanting to check catches you might be in a spot of bother..... not that we have ever been checked but all the same best to watch out. Great catch though.... good to see middle harbour already into the swing of things!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shan777 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Nice catch, never really caught Kings before, how do they fight??? Good i imagine........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Collecting live bait and sleeping out on the water with a boat to suit is a good way to fish for kingfish........ Being ready for early morning action saves time catching bait and hunting around when the signs are no longer there..... Kingfish generally move back out when the bait fish have found cover. jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 This one should have stayed in the archives so I'm closing it before anyone else reads & replies to it because they think it's a recent report. God knows why it was dug up again. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
