Little Kingy

[mark1]

finished work at 3 and decided to go and fish the harbour.

launched the boat at roseville and was at balmoral looking for yakas by 4 (gotta love that). had to work hard for the yakkas only managing 2 in 30 mins.

so headed to a channel marker that ive seen kings around before, sent one livey down and started throwing some unweighted strip baits at the marker and into a kingy of around 45cms.

hang around the marker for an hour and only see one more fish. decide to call it quits and back to roseville by 630.

if any one has any tips on catching regular kingys they would be much appreciated as i have only managed 3 throw backs all summer.

cheers.

quality bait, preferably as fresh as possible and pleanty of patience at times. downrigging also helps cover some ground when the bite is slow.

hi mark,

the smaller the yakka the better, and drop it down - all the way down... that's my advice.
