ilk fish Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 hi go to the corner of where monlineux breakwater meets the beach. there is a small reef there with plenty of kelp and seaweed over it. anchor up and berley , usually there are hundreds of yellowtail there. live yellowtail are great for kingies. I found the smaller the yellowtail the better. I also suggest you go to a well stocked tackle shop and get yourself a good quality 4lb line as well as some medium shanked light size 16 fly hooks. these small light hooks are beyond unbelievable in getting you yakkas when they are finicky. regards ilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1990 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Small peices of prawn, pillie, squid, bread. Sometimes you can pick up other species such as bream, trevally and squid. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
