fishmaniac Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Launched the boat this afternoon at around 3:00pm. As i walked down the pontoon to the boat i saw some fish which fired me up in the wrong way . A couple of kingy carcasses which had been filleted that were all of about 55cm. I hope whoever kept them gets caught soon! My first target was squid to use for kingy baits. It was not happening unfortunately and after an hour and a bit I had enough of wasting time and decided to suss out the main harbour markers with plastics. My girlfriend and I landed quite a few rat kings which were busting up in the main harbour. Most were around 55cm to 60cm and although small, gave a good account for themselves on my 8lb spin outfit. I also landed a solid fish around 85cm which was a good break from the rats. The fish was very thick and in good condition which was great to see.

fishmaniac Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 dont tell me u got the 85cm model on an 8lb outfit? That one was caught on my heavier outfit. 85cm on 8lb would have been a bit of fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
