Savage73 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi Guy's Went out on sunday for a bit of a fish. Got out onto at about 9:00am (bit of a late night ith the boy's the nigght before.). Did a bit of bream fishing around towra using nippers and chicken breast and score a few legal bream and a legal trevally. Then off to Live bait grounds to get some yakka's. I end up with 20 or so yakka, got the down rigger ready and off to Moli point to see if the kings were around. After cruising around Moli point and seeing a little activity, I loaded the down and sent a lollipop yakka down. After about 30 minutes of down rigging I was on only to lose him early in the fight. Loaded another yakka and began trekking along. As I was about to take a sip of my coffee, BANG and then ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I was on and I knew this thing was big. I tell ya it's hard work downrigging on your own as I held the fish in the water while I wound the down rigger up. The fight lasted about 10 minutes and I gaffed a 90cm Kingfish. I was on stoked. After that I did a few passes and got a 66cm king and threw him back and got roated on another. I decided to head home at about 2:30pm with a big smile on my face. Can't wait to do it again...
