sebi Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hi Raiders, This is my first post so here goes. Went in the harbour Sunday night, arrived at the boat ramp at 7:00pm with two mates, Enzo & Phil and headed out to spot X. At 8:45pm Phil pulls up a nice snapper then i pull up a bream then Enzo's little bream outfit pulls up a nice 62cm Kingie which was put back to fight another day, or should i say night. Kingie at night!!! I didn't think you could catch kingies at night??? By the end of the night we ended up with 1 snapper, 1 flattie, 1 talor and 3 bream.

rehab Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have always wondered where the kings go at night? Do we have anyone who can vouch if they feed at night - what happens to them - or do we just not really fish for them at night specifically?

King slayer Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have caught one at night before and heard of them feeding around lit up structure occasionally, but it's not the norm. Kings are day feeders. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evets Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hiya, Over in NZ they catch monster kings at night. And Ive seen some massive kings caught way way down deep - and it must be dark down there. There a number of FR posts a while ago (from Rzee I think) where he caught heaps of kings reeeeeally early. So Im not so sure that Kingies are a day time only proposition.

WANNAFISH Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Good couple of fish to fill up the tummies. One of my mates always do a 2am session every summer to catch kingies. So definitely u can catch them at dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petkovd2006 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Have caught kings before at night as a by-catch on two seperate occasions attempting to catch a jewie, and in spots you just wouldnt think a kingie would go. Maybe they were desperate for a feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quangvo1989 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 to the forum! Nice evening king there Dazza. Last Sat I hooked up a 60cm rat on pilchard cube and 10lb gear near Wedding Cake at about 8pm, catching it on light gear is satisfying. Small Kingies seem to hang around structure after dark.

gregr2 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 to the forum.. Great post. On the subject of kingies, I got my first one today, quite unexpectedly on my 2.5 kg gear whilst fishing for whiting on Bloodworm?? Gave my gear a good workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
