daleyboy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Headed out after work yesterday to chase some kings in the harbour. Launched the boat at 4:30 and headed out our usual marker. I arrive to see birds casually working the entire area .. but not launching into anywhere in particular. First cast out with the placcy (9" starlo n bushy flickbait) gets chased in right up next to the boat by a big 70-80cm hoodlum .. geez that got me fired up Unfortunately there was nothing going after that. Tried some smaller stickbaits on the light rod for no attempt then i chucked out a whole squid and started dragging that around the marker .. no go also. About an hour has passed and skunga finally arrives in his boat ... the placcy throwing begins in earnest again but also with no results. I decide to have another go with the trolled squid .. but this time i add some stumlate gel inside the guts of it ... drag it around the marker and very shortly hooked onto a 55cm rat king which was quickly released to fight another day. (got a pic but no idea how to attach) Unfortunately only took the 1 squid out with me so flicked a few more plastics to no avail so called it a day and left skunga who was still unable too hook up.

skunga Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It was looking very fishy - and with surface boils and bust ups all over the place I thought it was inevitable to hook up.. unfortunately it wasnt the case. That's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not wrong there ceph ... when they hit the plastics .. they certainly dont hold anything back! and at 75cm he would most certainly have given the 12kg tackle a serious workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
