hook'm Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Hit The Harbour this morning for a bash managed to get 20 odd squid .....lucky anchored up at around 6am and persisted in one spot. Ended up with 8 Kings,2x Sampsons and a 50 cm Tailor ....a couple of the kings had followers so i dropped another bait after landing the first to get the follower and was successful twice...... a bit chaotic on your own but great fun smallest king was 63 and the biggest was around 73 or so Here are some pics.. I kept the first king i landed which was 68 cm and the second sampson as the first was only 40 cms everything alse was released!

hook'm Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 some nice fish there, well done , it look's like an amberjack to me. was it caught on a live squid? yeah it is probably an Amberjack very similar at that small size often confused with samsons had beautiful light purple shoulder colouring with a slight band over the eye ...... and a light yellow coloured line running the length of the body at lateral line when i bled it...... which species is it anyone ??Seriola Fasciata or Hippos?????????????? it was caught on a fresh INKY squid head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbielites Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Jas, The 95cm model last week was from another spot. PM me if you want to know where. We gave your spot a bash today in two boats, I flogged the area with D Rs and Huntman anchored over it.... ZEROS I then moved into MH and down rigged from The Spit to Pickering point and then Sailors bay deep into Sugar loaf for......... ZEROS Was a beauty of a day though Robbie.
