archilles2 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Hey all, Our plan over the weekend was to try and target kingies in middle harbour and along the reefs, wedding cakes. Problem is the weather may not be too good, and a great fellow fishraider mentioned chinamen leatherjackets are stripping all live bait clean soooooooooo i'm changing plan. Good news is we love chinamen leatheries and would like to do our bit to help cull them alil ( if that's possible ) . If anyone could suggest any spots that would be great. I use to catch heaps at 12 mile on steel trace and solid hooks but i'd prefer to try the harbour because of the winds..

Off the edge of the pool at clontarf, just chop up a pilly and chuck it in the water, within 5 mins youll have billions of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason baker Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Having been stitched up by the tin snips the other day I am going to try and turn the tables on them. You know what they say 'If you can't beat 'em'... I haven't caught them since I was a kid. I think they are tasty buggers, what's the best rig? Wire trace and small strong hook? Or will just line do and take a lot of rigs? Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
