Monster yakkas

[tunahunter]

Hey guys

I have been out a few times, but having Great difficulties with bait, No problem catching yakkas but they Are huge, like I can't imagine a kingfish eating it, any tips in catching smaller yakkas ? Don't want to use squid, too delicious to give to kings hehe

A big kingfish can swallow a bonito, dont you worry about a kingy not being able to eat one of those yakkas if the kingies are feeding they will have a crack! I used to think like you too but never under estimate the capabilities of animals. If you want kings u may have to somteimes eat a salami sanga instead as more often than not kings will prefer the squid over yakkas, even tiny yakkas.

Two years ago we were fighting over the biggest yakka in the live bait tank.... these king were 80-110 and had no trouble with big bait.

Just go for smaller hook for smaller yakkas size. You might get the other baby fish but it's worth if you're after small ones.

Hey mate,

as mentioned above, kings are greedy, size doesnt matter. I pulled in a kingy last year that that couldnt fit the yakka down its throat. The yakka got stuck half way and we boated this king (a rat maybe 60 cm) with the tail hanging out of its moutht.
