This weekend options

[juztaylor]

I was looking to get out this weekend for Fin but given the 20knt westerlies predicted I thought this may be a bit too much for my 6.5m centre console 40kms from shore. I am pretty new to Sydney (from Coffs) but I was thinking of maybe working the cliffs south of South Head. Will this be a good strategy? Are there still kings around at all and what would be my best approach? Otherwise I was thinking of just peppering the cliffs with metals aiming for some tailor and salmon? Thoughts?

Thanks Gary - really good advice there. Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully the wind doesn't kick up too much. I was wondering about using divers around the headlands. I trolled from botany to maroubra once with a range of deep divers out and didn't get a hit. I haven't heard too much about using divers from people on this forum though - are they a decent bet?

we always start with two divers a red and white and a slimmy mac loooking lure mainly were looking for fish on the sounder as i've been doing this run for quite a few years and to down rigg the run takes 2 hours way to long to find fish as soon as we have bait balled up with arcs we work the area with two down riggers squid on one and a live yakka on the uther we start at dawn and finish around ten or go to the peak or 12 mile i never bother with metals in the washes as 20 years fishing the stones i'm over tailor but rosser gully[the stink pipe and bondi murk are real hot spots for big green backs best to fish for tailor just before dawn and till the suns up also i got a heads up today about big kings at longreef i was going on sunday to longy but i might go to the boat show instead depending on the wind cheers gary
