arty9 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Raiders: Wet a line a saturday and what nice conditions, especially after rain all friday night. Was very sceptic on what it was going to turn out like for saturday. Probably the opposite to what it was supposed to be. Anyway didnt head out till after 7 first three (almost) fish were Kings on light gear. Yep smoked me everytime, but hell of a lot of fun. They were smashing the old favourite service station frozen prawn. Must be hungry buggers. Had a mate out with me and he landed one in the boat for his first ever king. Undersize, swam for another day. Never had a fight like that before, so excited. After they gone off, tried somewhere else and about to leave when my mate hooked up again to pull in the biggest trevally i have seen come out the bay at 57cms. I may be wrong, but i think its rare to catch them that size inside. I just dropped more fish during the day. Think i need to fish more to get some practice in. Or just one of those days Tight lines raiders Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got smoked by a kingy too that had the rod bent right under the boat, then 5 minutes later i looked over and saw one of you guys get busted off too.

Welster Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 how do you find out the records of certain fish? Be good to look at if there is a certain link on this site Sounds like you had a great day and a top trev to finish off the day. Here is the link to the fishraider Trevally records. Your mates would be second, but I think he would need to be a member to submit it to the records section. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=24442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggytrevally Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just read this post about the big trevally riminded me of the trevally i caught just off cooks river drifting along the first runway on the 10.02.2008. Gave an awesome fight on light gear 12pound line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 That's an excellent trevally. Largest I've caught was 47cm off the rocks and that gave me some curry. I'm sure yours went even harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
