VA911 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Put in at rose bay solo this morning at 600. Caught just enough squid to get a heap of kings, Landed 8 fish, droped a few more and amoungst them only 1 keeper at 73 cm. This fish took a live squid about half his size. I was hoping for a big big king on this bait, Oh well. Next time. I did end up getting one fish to the boat on my Breambuster rod and 6lb briad. Very fun but the king was only 50cm. Quick pic of the keeper. 2nd time out in the boat since i had it back from service from Huey, And i must say that he has got my little etec puring. Got my downrigging speed at idol down to about 2.8k/h .. sooo much slower than before. And with the permatrim on there now the boat is feeling great! If only i didnt want to fish out wide so badly i would so consider keeping this boat. Decisions decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nice work, you always seem to do well on the kings when you go out. Good luck with the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VA911 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Cheers guys, It was a pity to loose a solid squid to an average king. At least i got to eat him though.. Steve, Nah only put it out once and only put a lolly pop squid strip on and it was mauled in about 30 seconds by the little baby king.. was a laugh though!!!!!! Bream rod on a downrigger, 2 funny!!!

jim77 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nice work mate - sounds like a fun session. I worked hard to get 2 squid on sunday and lost them both in 2 passes to 2 rats Good fun but no keepers amongst them! Can i ask roughly where you got your action? I'm hoping to head out on Friday. Cheers jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA911 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Jim, mate they are everwhere at the moment. Picked them up on the markers and the ususal haunts. I will note that water temp today was just over 18 deg... Bit cold for this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflife Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 G,day Vince mate i seen you yesterday cruise past , (same boat in swap and sell section) was going to say g,day but you were to quick (must be that etec lol) we downrigged every popular marker in the harbour from goat to old mans hat with live squid for zilch. weird , just couldn"t find em.

VA911 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 cflife, hehehe i dont mind getting around quick thats for sure. Cant have that much fun on the roads anymore... Mate if i had 30 squid i would have had 30 kings, they were thick as theivs. I towed a yakka around for some stupid reason, i cant catch kings with yakkas......
