Kings And Bonito.... Lots Of Them!

[herbmozo]

Hey Raiders, went for an afternoon fish just south of coogee. We couldn't find any yakka's so had to be content to throwing a few plastics around. Got to the spot we wanted and set up for our first drift.... Bang straight on with a few bonnies. Few casts later hook onto a nice fish and the reel starts screaming, tightened up the drag and got the fish closer. Was a kingie about 60 cm but very fat. Hooked up on a 2 other decent fish but dropped them. One of the other guys on board hooked a good fish but lost it, had 20mtrs line out in 10mtrs water! Was a fun afternoon, must have caught 20+ fish in under 2 hrs between us, the sea was a sloppy as hell for the drive back. If you can get some decent sized yakkas there a bigger kings under the rats. Sorry no pics as no fish worth it!

Good reports. BTW, were you landbased fishing or boat fishing?

In a boat mate.

5 inch Berkley Gulp saltwater jerkshads with a 3/0 nitro jighead 1/2 ounce, pink and white was very effective.
