Yowie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Fished the deep out from Lilli Pilli during the morning. Pulled out a 43cm tailor on the first cast, then the reddies attacked most baits. Managed to catch 2 about 38cm, a 50cm jewie, and a 66cm kingie. The kingie was landed on a 10 pound handline and spent all of its time fighting under the boat, so that I could feel the line scraping along the bottom of the boat. During this, another line took off so I grabbed that and it felt like another kingie, but the hooks pulled after a short time. Moved to Gunnamatta Bay and pulled out 4 good sized squid on a green jig. Yowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught a couple of yakkas, so cut them into strips. Also used squid strips. Fishing on the bottom. Took the kingie from the bottom, as sometimes happens.
