quintrex480 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Raiders, The last batch of kings has been finished so needed to stock up, so a solo mission today to see if I can fix that problem. On the water mid-morning and got a bunch of these guys Then headed to get a couple of these guys. Water isn't the cleanest right now from all the rain, so was a little hard work. Then it was off to downrig Landed rat after rat after rat after rat after rat after bonnie after rat (that's 6 rats and a bonnie) After a couple of hours, called the last pass on a yakka and then head back in, and wouldn't you know it, a good size king jumps on the end, went 94cm. Sorry for the poor quality photos, really tough to take photos by yourself. Wouldn't be long now until the kings move on, so hopefully there are still a few more sessions with some good kings still to come.

Cheers Daniel Yeah everything loves squid, especially one that is fresh, so it justs get's picked on until there is nothing left. Stick a yakka down, and it's usually something big that will take it.
