craigbutcher Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 HI Raiders, Nice to see some good kings about during the 18 degree green water. Took a long time to get enough live squid, however, eventually had a bait tank full. Out the heads into the King grounds and they were on. First drop, got reefed by a solid Hoodlum, couldn't turn it's head locked up on 80lb braid & fluro leader. Ended up getting a few small ones around 80cm for the dinner plate both sushi and cooked.

craigbutcher Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) damn if they are what's considered small around these parts I'm gonna have to upgrade some gear before I get out for m my first Sydney King session! Yeh bud, they get huge in Sydney, up to 20KG. This one isn't 20kg though, but still around 14kg. Edited September 10, 2013 by THE BUTCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
