PPSGT Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) [ Hi Raiders, saw these two keen kyakers chasing a bucks party boat with a topless waiter (i have digitally added a pasty over the exposed nipple so knowone is offened ) Had my cousin over form Adelaide, and promised to put him onta a kingfish..... we went outside the heads and got squidded on a our live baits, and he missed his only hit. While I was watching him drop his fish, i left my jig dangling mid water for at least a minute without movement. When i pulled it up, it has a 45cm kingfih on it. It was my smallest king to date, almost as big as the jig so i took a photo and let him go. Only got another rat on a jig - it went 55cm We tried all over the harbour for zero kings with squid and yakkas. Finally got a strike on a whole squid head, but it didnt bust the rubber band on the downrigger on the strike. So i busted the band and passed him the rod, the salmon must of made a last ditch bid for his freedom, and got airborne, but on 80lb braid on a 15kg outfit ( we were only after trophy fish!) there wasnt much of a battle and he skull dragged in a 50cm salmon - but at least he got his photo with a fish with the harbour bridge in the background It was great to show a vistor the harbour, he's only ever been here on business, so gave him the grand tour. Had a ball catching yakkas, throwing metals at the north head salmon hordes, downrigging almost every marker in the harbour and getting caught in the downpour in the afternoon. Some times I think we take Sydney fishing for granted. Today we saw: Penguins Two tall ships Big Cruise ship arrive Sunrise over the bridge Three fanous landmarks (Bridge/Opera House/Kiribilli) More sailing boats then you could count Drove the boat into the fish markets for lunch And saw a stripper on the water Who needs Adelaides 30lb snapper... Even without catching fish there is so much to see ( and for once Jim77 didnt catch any more or less kings then i did when we were out on the water though he did catch yakkas a LOT faster then me with his secret burley mix.... ) Heading out tomorrow rain or shine to have another go.

Day's Fishin Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I bet they never paddled so fast! The harbour has to be one of the best in Aus for fishing and sight seeing, theirs always something happening. Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorms Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Always knew there were White pointers in the harbour. How'd you go Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 had two whales pop up near my boat in the morning a few days ago which was amazing. Am very interested in the penguins. Where did you see them? I'm trying to prove to some people that they exist in the harbour. Did you get any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
