Yakka advice

[dacosta74]

Hi raiders

Desperate to catch a kingy.

Have read all the great advice. I can catch the yakkas, I've read about rigging, now what? I'm fishing from a boat, no down rigger.

Do I just free line it?

Or do I need to includ a weight to send it down?

Thanks guys

lets see.. where to start....

SQUID.....

SQUID.....

oh yeh ...did i mention live Squid........

if you can get live or fresh squid you will improve yr chances heaps..

on some days they will smash anything but some will pass up everything on offer so best baits give better chances but have alternatives as i have on odd occasion got more hits on strip baits while livey left untouched..

as for style, poor mans downrigger using a big jig or barrel sinker troll 1knt..

or just pull up near markers in harbour and toss unweighted (or lightly weighted) baits towards structure..

keep eye out for surface activity and even if they are not kings on surface sometimes they will be under feeding on scraps etc from the bonnies/salmon/taylor etc ..

i like to move around looking for em but some prefer to anchor up where they will eventually pass on there movements with tide...

good luck...

hope this helps ...

cheers...steve......
