Savage73 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) When out on friday for a potential kingfish session. Squid were hard to come by. Managed 3 small one and 4 yakka's. Down they go on the downrigger. Not a hit. Anchored up and berley. Dropped a yakka down. 30 minutes later zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The result is a fat 110cm kingie. Great start to 2013. Can't wait to get back out their Edited January 13, 2013 by Savage73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350chev Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Awesome kingy!! I was in the harbour on Saturday. Also very hard on the squid only managed one small one which I sent down on the dr only for it to be picked. No kings but did manage a mixed bag of flattys, bream, Trevally, and some good sized flounder. Did you score that king inside or out??

quintrex480 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 There it is! The first botany bay hoodie report. Well done mate, that would have been a hell of a fight anchored up. How long did it take you and what depth were you at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage73 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hey buddy. Yeah took about 10 minutes on heavy gear. about 13-14 meters of water. Im a firm bekiever that botany bay can produce some of the best kingfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckegg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Mate, Well done. I have been smashing rats for the last 2 weeks with nothing over 60cm. We had a school under the boat and had a ball on knife jigs for an hour but they were all under size. Havent got any good ones yet though this season. We havent had too many dramas getting squid though out of Cronulla. Havent sighted a bonnie yet either!! Johno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
