cflife Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 hey mate got back after crissy.... great fun! are there still hundreds of sharks hanging around? Yeah there were a fair few about , you had to pull the kings ect in pretty fast or they would get munched and a 6 footer would be on the end of the line ,all fun and games (for the first 10 mins) felt like reeling an otto bin full of water in. Mate i reckon u could have thrown a piece of bread on your hook and pulled in a hood or big trev it,s by far the most fishy place i have been. Still cant beat ya sydney harbour kings ( they seem to go much harder pound for pound. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirost Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well done on the kings guy. They are some big bruisers. One question for you, were your arms that big before you left for Lord Howe or is that a result of the workout the kings gave you !!!! cheers mr mojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inhlanzi Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wohooooo Those are amazing fish Clife well done Have you got any lengths and weights of them? What kind of tackle were you using? Looks like you have the strength to handle those hoodies too! Cheers inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Good stuff Guy... I'm sure they made up for the few that smoked you on the heads a couple of weeks back. What was the deal with the fishing - were you on board a charter? Are they reasonably priced. Very keen! Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Soprano Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'd need a weeks notice and about 12 months in the gym by the looks of it. They are some great fish, LHI is definitely on the to-do list. Good stuff mate. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennmreid Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Lord Howe Island is a beautiful place. I visted the island a few years ago and would love to go back. On of the best things I saw was the daily fish feeding at Ned's beach. The size of the kingies that would swim between your legs was amazing. Would love to do some fishing there. Talk about XO fish.
