Ross Hunter Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Raiders, Because of the bad weather, we have been targetting the kings on Broadbill and Billfisher and whilst they have all been released, they are great fun on 6kg tackle. There are schools galore off Maroubra and Wedding cake. We generally catch 25 or so in a session to then drive away and leave 'em biting. Remember legal size ..Best lures Bloodshot jets and small squid as well as small bibless. Average size 55 to 60cm Remember be kind to them Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_steve Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 when i fished botany boy a couple of years ago the cakes did produce a lot of early season rats that school up, they can be caught in big numbers but are generally down on size but on light gear as ross mentioned GREAT fun... generally once one is hooked 10 or so of his mates will follow him to the boat, then the action starts just keep your eyes on the move .... great fun when there hanging around your baot,..... steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbink Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I had one memorable session near Wedding Cake a couple of years back. The kings were active in small schools. These were good sized rats at around 4kg. I was spinning them up and there was only one speed they were interested in - flat out! I'd wind as fast as I could with my 6:1 Speedmaster and there would be a pressure bulge behind the lure as the kingie followed it. There would be an explosion of spray when the lure was nailed and then I would get my arms stretched to pull them away from the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
