gretsch Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Gidday Raiders, My good mate Stokes and I hit the Harbour on February 6th for some cracking action. We caught around 25 Kings over a 4 hour period. Many rats, half a dozen 78-86's and one brute at 110cm and 12kg (weighed on my Shimano Bogas - not sure how accurate they are). For all you Squid challenged anglers out there, you will be pleased to know that the big one had a stomach full of yakkas!! One of the 80's also had Silver Biddies loaded into it along with Whiting in the other couple. Seems they feed on all manner of bait. Here are the photos.
