Sydney Kingies

Hey raiders,

summer is upon us and it seems the kingies are here! Haven't managed to get out yet but hope to in the next month. I will probably have a crack at pittwater. I do not have a downrigger however, i will be livebaiting still. Mainly with yakkas and slimies. Can anyone give me a few tips and or spots to try. Any other tips on techniques and locations for other species would be welcome too!

Hey Mate, i live bait for Kings with either squid or yakkas. I dont have a down rigger either but put on a small to medium bean sinker (depending on depth of water) and just walk the boat in and out of gear. Mainly have a leader of at least 1.5 - 2m. You really only want to be trolling at 1-2 knots. Im mainly in less than 7m of water so i use a bean sinker about 4-5cm long. As i said just walk the motor in and out of gear and if your in the right spot, you'll be on!!!

Hope this helps... and good luck!
