Formosan Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Hi Guys Went out today and got some squid as you do when chasing Kings, then proceeded to DR around and drifted for kings. Got them on DR , plastics and just plain old Fresh squid strips. They seemed to be everywhere there there that spot and threw back close to 30 or so lost count after a while, and got busted off by 2 bigger models. End up with 4 keepers. It was the most kings we encountered so far, Worked hard to sort out the bigger ones for the table, The bigger ones tend be holding deeper...Wrist and hands were getting tired so we Left them biting. It is going to be a good season.
Yowie Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 A reddie there as well, get a bit greedy with the squid, did he?
griffox Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Well done Formosan! I hit the Harbour Thursday morn' but only managed a few Tailor inside and a couple of greedy Sergeant Bakers off the Sth Head bommie... But seeing your catch makes me even more determined...! Tight Lines!!

quintrex480 Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) well done again buddy and thanks for the kingie, finished a whole fillet myself last night. knew I should have paddled over to where you guys were in the yak but my arms and shoulders were goneskis.

BMac Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Great effort. Squid are like gold at the moment!!!! Sounds like the perfect session. Well done.
whittley580 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Good to see that the Bay is showing signs of a promising summer... Great catch Formosan... Were you able to target them inside the Bay or outside the heads? (if you don't mind sharing) :-)
Formosan Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 A reddie there as well, get a bit greedy with the squid, did he? Yeh Greedy Reddy..by catch. Well done Formosan! I hit the Harbour Thursday morn' but only managed a few Tailor inside and a couple of greedy Sergeant Bakers off the Sth Head bommie... But seeing your catch makes me even more determined...! Tight Lines!! Yeh don't give up, when you have squid you are in with a good chance then you just need to find them. Hey Anthony Nice work. It's going to be a good summer. Were they inside our out side. Thanks..It is going to be a good season see ya on the water and have a chat. WOW!!, good onya mate, top catch of kings and a heap of fun too.. Yeh heaps of fun ..lucky to stumble on a good patch that was hungry at the time. Even with 100lb leader all rigged up for DR, we put on a snap on sinker and they smash it everytime the bait hist the water. Not leader shy at all.

Formosan Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) well done again buddy and thanks for the kingie, finished a whole fillet myself last night. knew I should have paddled over to where you guys were in the yak but my arms and shoulders were goneskis. Should have taken the boat, stuff the thoughts about exercising next time!!! You were invited but you decided to yak instead. Btw give me back the ice blocks. Great effort. Squid are like gold at the moment!!!! Sounds like the perfect session. Well done. You are right.. squid wasn't easy. Nicely done Formosan cheers Thanks. Good to see that the Bay is showing signs of a promising summer... Great catch Formosan... Were you able to target them inside the Bay or outside the heads? (if you don't mind sharing) :-) They are inside and outside. They move around depending on bait aggregation and tides. Edited December 17, 2012 by Formosan
