Pb King Botany Bay

[roger]

spent the morning flicking plastics around the bay

saw a large school of surface feeding kings

got smashed 4 times using 10lb gear (there,s one king out there with about 130m of 10lb braid following it)

maritime guys turnt up did a quick inspection of boat & gear etc, while watching me getting smoked by a monster, line was just disappearing and I could do nothing with drag set at max

the school then dived & disappeared

I picked up my heaviest gear @ 12lb

loaded the plastic & started random flicks about 45mins later and bang away we go

30 mins of back breaking runs, fishing solo landed my PB 92cm king

1/2 way thru the fight my 2nd rod, loaded with a pilly tail was also getting hit, it was a smaller fish

both fish landed smaller one @ 55cm

thx to the guys that took the photos

sounds like a good morning congrats on the catch.

The sound of drag always gets my Adrenalin running

what type of plastics where you using if you dont mind me asking?

I heard that the kingies are in good sizes at the moment.

Congratulations on your P.B. Sounds like they were going off, would have been some awesome fun. Shame about gettin spooled & loosing all that braid. At least you've got a good fish to show for it.

Congarts on the PB. Wel done!

Sounds like a great day, kings on light gear can be deadly fun.

92cm on 12lb is a bloody good effort though, well done.

Looking forward to pics.

Cheers

Well done on your fishing. Do you normally fish with the lighter gear?
