Spit Kings 6 And 9/1/2010

Howdy

Went fishing at the Spit on Wednesday in my mates boat and got a nice fat King that went 70 odd. Boat close by got an 80 earlier. No pics as it was dispatch to the eski nice and quick.

Went fishing this morning in the canoe. Got half a dozen squid then went to the same spot using the down rigger.

Landed another good fish that went over 70 but it proved costly. Got too clever when I saw a follower as it came to the surface throwing out a large slimey mac looking minnow on my 30lb spin outfit and hooked up almost instantly. Now had two fish on. 2nd fish screamed off triggering first fish to take off which managed to collect the down rigger clip with it and get tangled. So I put the 2nd rod aside on light drag while I sorted the first fish out. Ended up losing the bomb but got the fish. Meanwhile 2nd fish must have found the bottom so I lost my lovely looking slimey minnow on its very first fish. Continued fishing using good ol sinker set up and had a pair of kings follow a live green eye up (catching calamari squid amongst the arrow squid at the spit now) but things just seem to get quieter as the sun got higher.
