Good Day But No Kings

[kingpig]

My son and I went yesterday to see if we could get some kings. After trying all the spots I know in the harbour we downrigged some live bait and squid around North Head. Still nothing and no sign of fish on the sounder.

It was a great day, so when we got to bluefish I decidede to go to Long Reef Wrecks. We Jigged the wrecks and I put a couple of squid down but still could not get a touch.

In a effort to get any fish I moved in from the wrecks to a gravel patch in front of Mona Vale. We found a patch of flathead.

In 45 minutes we bagged out with 20 fish between 45 & 50cm.

We ended with 20 flaties, 2 trevs and 2 big jackets.

There was a heap of slimies around but nothing chasing them.

I took a photo if I can get off my phone I will post it.

Cheers

Shame about the kingies Kingpig, but bagging out on flatties is a good bit of compensation! 45-50cm is a nice size to eat as well. We did almost as good as you last weekend ... four in six hours! We just couldn't find them in any numbers, so well done to you and your son. Were the jackets a problem? We didn't see any last Saturday (thank goodness). What depth were you in?

Cheers

The two big ones we got were the only 2 all day and we lost no gear.
