chewie Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Finished work and raced to meet Erroll for a cheeky arvo session with commitments we only had 3 hours to fish and adding to this we had to sit out the big storm at the bait grounds. Anyway, armed with Yakkas we sounded around some of our kingy haunts and were rewarded with a nice big Hood that gave me a real good battle all the way to the boat. of course we forgot the net and not wanting to gaff the fish it was tail grabbed and brought onboard and after a few pics released to terrorise another fisherman. There are some big kings to be caught at the moment for those who have the time to get out there! It went 110cm and was a solid fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim77 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Good fish lads. Well done for putting it back. Eat the smaller ones and save the bigger Ones I reckon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erroll Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Great fish Chewie, the pics do it justice, must be a good photographer!! That was an epic fight and you handled it like a champ. Very well deserved. We have to get back there soon. That spot owes me big time after those two dust ups.. I'll try and bring the net next time.

Can you give me some hints on where to get livebaits, and a place to start fishing for kings, where you in the bay? Hey Mate, the kings move around all the time so its best to look for them around structure. be it wrecks, reefs, the washes, or channel markers. Find Squid over kelp beds and Yakkas around deeper wharfs and markers. I was fishing out of Sydney Harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Luke Cheers Luke Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No, we left the riggers at home. It was caught on a weighted Yakka, long 60lb trace on a marked school.
