Dano1 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 Early Saturday Morning Met up with Jase and Dan ( d&g) and jumped aboard hook'm. Managed to get enough squid in quick succesion for a good king sesh! Off to find the kings and have a early morning fry up!!! mmmmm.. bacon and eggs! then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Jasons rod screams off and a beautiful 79cm king is landed,, Nice one Jase! There were a few pickers around witch was a bit annoying but out of nowhere Dan’s (d&g) rod screams off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….zzzzzzz holy s*##* this is a biggen! After pinching about 50m of line off him Dan starts to get some back after a short fight a massive surgeon fish at just over 60cm was landed. After a short tussle with the anchor. 11am decided to call it a day! But what a great day to be out on the water! Ill let Dan and jase elaberate on there fish Having dramas posting other pics will try again in another post! Dan. Jase Hopfully you've got some pics on your camera that u can post up as some reason my computer won't let me
southerly Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Well done guys, thats a big surgeon fish. Tell me did its tail thrusts come up through the rod tip as tail banging like Bonnies do? It was fun fishing near you, thanks for the bacon and egg role gents that was awsome and mightlily generous of you. That was an excellent king Jason, it gave you a good work out. I trolled back to Clontarf for zip, so my tally for the day was a few cuttles, an arrow and southern, but who cares what a beautiful morning. Will probably head to Balmoral with my daughter Siena tomorrow morning. Southerly
hook'm Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) well here i am 1 month ago dreaming of summer ,kingfish in abundance ,warm weather holidays . Well i didnt think MAY would produce quite like it has!! Now im dreaming of May subzero temps and BIG Kingfish! 3 weeks ago an 84 was landed then a week later a 91 cm model then this weekend a 79! Stuff summer the last 3 weeks will do me for a year! oh and Cafe de Hook'm will be serving bacon and egg rolls at spot x from 5:30 am untill 7 am! byo coffee southerly making his way back home mmmmmmmmmmmmm! I thought i had a picture of Dans mighty Surgeonfish but i didnt take one!

Piss'n'Broke Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Stuff summer the last 3 weeks will do me for a year! oh and Cafe de Hook'm will be serving bacon and egg rolls at spot x from 5:30 am untill 7 am! byo coffee What about the beer mate? DAN D&G Well done guys, thats a big surgeon fish. Tell me did its tail thrusts come up through the rod tip as tail banging like Bonnies do? Will probably head to Balmoral with my daughter Siena tomorrow morning. Southerly Hey Southerly! Great to see you out there again! That surgeon fight was exactly like a kingy,,, hit an bolt at a million miles a hour! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz HHOLY CRAP . I called it for a kingy but it was a hard fight with no distinct tail thumps vibrating up the line an into the rod. Not that I would have probabily felt it on a BB Elite 15kg with a tld 2speed. Still more than a good match for the gear, made me work for it, then dano1 an Jase to get it off the anchor for me. Top day there Jase an Dano! Jase thanks for the invite to join you again. Mate I dunno how you can put up with the xxxxxxxxxxx! D&G, an Dano Time to drink alot an call it a day in preparation for tmr! DAN D&G
Robbielites Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 For those that don't know where spot X is... Follow your nose Robbie.
frankp Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 those kingies look awesome but i have to say that i would choose your breakfast over catching a kingie any day.

gretsch Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Well done Lads.. I can't believe this season.. incredible length. The Surgeon is interesting. Good fighters eh?? Cheers Ceph.
ophet Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Well done guys, your BBQ on the boat is inspirational, we did the same thing on Saturday morning. Certainly makes the cold mornings more reasonable. Some nice fish there, and one massive surgeon. After gathering the squid on Friday night, we tried offshore for zilch and then picked up a couple of just legals inside MH.
STOCK Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Daym thats a big surgeon nice work! did the surgeon take a live squid?
Piss'n'Broke Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Daym thats a big surgeon nice work! did the surgeon take a live squid? Yup took a whole live squid (15-18cm) I had, had down for over 30mins! Absolutely slammed it!!!!! DAN D&G Edited May 28, 2007 by Dan and Greg
arpie Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Well done, guys!! Great fish & even better squid!!! Did that big one get cooked or eaten?? Aren't those little bbqs the best? Brilliant for smoking fish, too - much safer than the metho thingos! Cheers Roberta Edited May 28, 2007 by Roberta
