RPL Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Went out today fishing LB fishing some flats around the Hacking as the tide fell, landed my new PB on bait and lure that was a 71cm king. Impressive effort from me considering there was structure around, anyway the king fell to a 5inch jerk shad in camo on the 1000 Stradic loaded with 4lb and a 6lb fluro trace.
kevinfallon Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Well done mate, great effort especially on light weight gear - that must have been fun. I am still trying to catch my first King.. Been out chasing them a few times last year and once this year with still no luck.
mrj031 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Good fish mate Congrats, how far up the hacking were if you dont mind saying?

Nice fish on light gear. Been doing the hacking a bit lately but have not had the luck/skill of a kingy on lures yet.
DaveD Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Excellent work mate. Thats a healthy king for a PB. Let's hope that it increases over the coming months I miss being on the water at the hacking.
taloyoak Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Great job mate, thank you for the report and photo. I always look forward to hearing reports and photos from everyone Have a great/productive weekend.
Camoman Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Great fish for inside the hacking land based.. well done. Will av to try my luck tomoz morning
Davemmm Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks, surprisingly pretty far up. I've caught undersize Kings near Lilli Pilli and have seen a legal taken off the front of Gymea Bay. The Hacking has a lot of bloody deep water in it and obviously holds good fish. When you have a look at the distance away from the heads Lilli Pilli is probably closer to the ocean than the airport is in the Bay. No surprise Kings, Snapper, bonito etc get nabbed up there at times. Dave

When you think of Sydney you think of like all other waterways not PH, that is the only waterway i fish and the only one i know so i cant really comment but there are great fish to had. Thanks everyone for their kind words, i have finally got my mojo back! Two PBs in one week.
