crazyboutfishing Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Started out from kurnell boat ramp at 06.30AM Sat Morning 20/11. Headed out to the heads for a troll, within less than 2 minuets my 2 mates Ian and Macca had a double hook up, Ian pulled in a 58CM Salmon and Macca pulled in a 63CM Kingie!! I couldn't believe my eyes, I have been waiting to pop my kingie cherrie for so long and now there was one in my boat, only problem is it didnt catch it! Being undersized we put the little fella back in the water but kept the Salmon Right I thought, now is as good a time as any to try and get my first Kingie, so I took over the rod. A few minuets on and........... Whack the fight was on! My friend Ian reeled in a Bonito, as we got a double hook up again, I thought maybe I had a bonito too but keeping my hopes up I continued to reel in. Then when mine turned into a bit of a fight, I knew this just wasn't the usual Bonito I am used to catching! Sure enough it was a kingie!! At last I get to put this on my list of fish that I have caught, it has only taken me 2 years to get one. Unfortunately it was only 58CM so he went back in the water too. 2 more Bonito on the troll then we decided to try a little driffting, picked up a 53CM, 50CM & 38CM Flattie that we kept and a few smaller which all went back in the water All in all what a great day on the bay and we couldn't have asked for the weather to be any better!! Hope you like the pictures, see attached a picture of what we believe is a shovel nose shark, Ian hooked him up, at first we thought it maybe a monster Flattie! the little shark also went back in unhurt.

crazyboutfishing Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks, I was well chuffed Yea hopefully next time I will be posting some pictures of some keepers!! I was using a Halco Laser pro 120 (blue) 1-2 M diver, this only seemed to attracke the salmon and bonito. The kingie were both caught on a Storm 120 (lighter blue with a silver strip up both sides) I think this lure is made by Rapala although sorry but I am not 100% sure. This was also a shallow diver 1.2 M. Sorry to hear you missed out on the kingie cut_loose, fingers crossed for you next time. Lets hope it's a good summer in the bay for the kingie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 hey mate, great sesh. I havent caught my first kingie yet and hope to end up like u very soon. Also, i thought that fish looked more like a banjo shark. Shovelnose sharks have very pointy noses. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
