jrzila Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Hello Raiders, My first report. This was actually a report from 3 Jan as I have been too lazy to drag the foto off the fone. Hit the water at 5 am and went in search of some squid. My mate Feng (fellow raider) hooks a massive squid 1st cast, at least we have bait now. Ended up with the one squid but caught some yakkas for backup. Fished 3 rods, 2 with yakkas one with squid strips/ half head. Around 830 we landed a nice Kingie that went 73cm on the half eaten squid head. Here's how the action went, the rod buckles over and the reel screaming and the rod is stuck in the holder and I'm trying desparately to lift it out of the holder, after 5 sconds its out and I am thinking its nearing the bottom now and stressed out that I might lose this fight before it even begins. Gradually I gain some line back and slowly pump and wind him to the surface. Great fight on the 30pd gear. Came to the surface 5 times before I could tire him enough to net. Nothing touched the yakka. Swell became unbearable at 1030 and we called it a day. Awesome day. Cheers Simon Pic of Feng with the fishy. I guess you know where we were.
