middle harbour today

[sydangler]

Got a call from a mate around midday seeing if was keen for a fish. So headed down to middle harbour with some pillies and some squid I had in my freezer. For the out part a slow day apart from something boiling up on the surface every now and then but had no interest in our baits or any lures.

Had a good burly trail going and to our suprise a very solid 85-90cm king followed it all the way up to the wharf. If sprung into gear scattering some pilchards cubes to keep him around and went for my first rod loaded with 30lb went to bring it in only to find it was snagged so back in the rod holder and grabbed my 15lb outfit a few more cubes. And sent one down one the 2/0 that was on it and he came up and inhaled it. After about 10 minutes he was starting to tire and was coming in but he was still taking line at will me and my mate were laughing cos I had left the net in the back of the ute. He came into site and then another run and just as he came back into view the hooked pulled. This was followed by large amounts of swearing and cursing. Not long after it was the it was time to go. I'm on the water tomorrow so hopefully have some better luck.

We were up in Middle Harbour today as well, saw heaps of those boils you were speaking of. There was the occasional baitfish getting smashed in the same spots, so i'm guessing lone ranger kings? We hooked up to two....both times taking the 4lb leader offerings safe to say no pictures!
