SNAP-ER Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Hi Raiders Hope Everyone had a Happy Easter,just posting a quick report went out to Swansea yesterday with my father and brother-inlaw to see if we could manage to get some squid and maybe a kingy.The water was running out for the first couple of hours and we were finding it veryhard to find a single squid as I suspected.I told my company to be patient as they were becoming frustrated and bored,and said that things will change with the tide, as they did.My brother-inlaw mannaged to get 2 squid and I got a couple of cutttle fish.So I pulled out the downrigger and lowered a squid a few metres behind the boat.20 mins later and my okuma V-system is sreamnnZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz,Were all excited especially my father as he has never seen me actually land a kingy in my boat but has seen many come home with me on other trips with other company.I wanted to hand the rod to my brother inlaw as he was the one who caught the squid, but was worried that we would get reefed up as we were only 8 or so metres from rocky structure.This kingy went hard!! and fought stonger than other bigger kings Ive caught.So all the squid jig rigs were pulled in and cleared out of the way as the net was brought out and had this Beauty!! netted.
