Benji-martin Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi everyone, I brought a boat 7 months ago and up untill now I have only ever fished the hawkesbury. I am going out on the harbour with some mates on Saturday and just need some help with some locations. I am going after kingfish, I reckon I can find squid just look for the weedy and sandy areas and have a cast. I do not know where there are any live bait grounds. Can someone tell me where there are a few so I can have a go for some yakkers. For the kingfish I only know the makers like the wedding cakes but my only question is are you allowd to anchor around them or is it in the main channel? But just wondering for maybe some one to point me I to the direction for one more spot for the kingfish and how you fish it ( eg anchor, drift or troll). The last question I have is it what rigs do you use I was going to use 2 unweighted baits as 2 weighted and put on the bottom will this work I don't have a down rigger so I can put any mid water. All help will be appreciated very much. Thank you very much Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoB Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 G'day Martin You can usually sound up some slimies just outside or inside north head. Look for em on the sounder and berley them up to the boat once you find them. If you aren't at the heads try balmoral baths.

rjc123 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yakkas at Balmoral Baths and island. Kingie grounds to try are North Head, Quarantine Head near the Buoy and at times, the deeper water off nielsen park. You rigs sound okay but another option instead of having the bait unweighted is under a float. Just suspend it maybe 1.5-2m under and away you go!

Piss'n'Broke Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Its also worth a shot trying in around the moorings at north harbour, there can be alot of peckers, but sooner or later the kings do cruise through. Though with the water visaility I would fish our baits in the bottom 1/3 of the water column. Dan Edited February 8, 2012 by Dan and Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
