PowerFisher Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Headed out of Sydney heads today for an offshore trip. The day started off not as planned was supposed to be on the water from 12 midday until sunset. Left home at 12 and with all this traffic on a Saturday by the time got to Drummoyne boat ramp and out to the heads it was already 2pm. The swell couldnt be better than today it was better than inside the harbour. Got to a spot which we spotted fish on the sounder and the anchor wouldn’t hold so put further chain on the anchor and it sorted it out. As soon as we started fishing it went well, using squid mostly as bait we did not too bad and we had a school of jewfish go past because within 20 minutes we picked up 4 jewfish around the 70cm mark. I hooked something big straight after the last jewfish was caught and can tell this was big and would be a PB, I believe it to be definitely a large kingfish or Jewfish after a 10 minute battle with heavy tackle it was so close under the boat I did not see it and as usually happens we had 4 other rods out in the water and too excited to take them out, it wrapped around the lines and while trying to fight the fish and untangle the braid I got reefed on the bottom under the boat. I learned my lesson and always if a big fish is on get everyone to take the lines out if there close. OTher than that it was a good mixed species of fish caught. ITs going to be a good fishing this winter offshore and can’t wait till the big snappers arrive in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kings were big this year than average and im hoping the same at long reef and the other reefs around that area will hold above size snapper this year.
