Jigging The Peak

[kingpig]

Just a quick report on the peak last Thursday.

My son and I went out form Botany to the Peak last Thursady morning. After a brief but unforfilling attempt to catch yakka in the bay again. (I have only fished in the bay twice and cannot find any). We set the GPS and went straigth to the peak.

First jig sent down 400g white & red got hit and i pulled in a King. The fish only went 55cm and was the only king we hit for the day.

Nearly every drop after we got Bonnies or bitten of by jackets. I rigged a three dropped rig loaded with squid and caught jackets three at a time. Big ones 45-50cm.

Total for the day. 10 Jackets, 8 bonnies, 1 Trev caught trying to catch yakkas. Lost about 10 jigs and a lot of braid.

It was a nice day on the water and at least i have a good excuse to visit my local tackle shop.

Cheers

Kingpig.

Yakkas are pretty consistent at the breakwall. SE corner. Keep motoring around til you see them on the sounder, then drop bait jigs.
