jdudfield Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The wind looked okay a few days ago so I convinced the daughter she owed her dad a fishing trip! Started in North Harbour for some yakkas ... found plenty of all sizes ... lollipop plus. Threw a small squid head out the back while getting the yakkas and bang! A nice bream over 40cm Kept chasing yakkas and a kingy followed one up mmmm ... put out a livey and started throwing a plastic ... Third cast on the plastic and 'bang' then acrobatics, a tailor! A bit of fun and guess what followed it to the boat ... more kingies ... even even they were just rats! Kept the tailor for dinner. Thought I better give the daughter a full on fishing experience in bad weather so I headed out around North Head on a slow troll. It was very messy out there, no wonder we were alone. A few points around the heads the light line with a small rapala pilchard goes off and the daughter has a great time hanging on as I head out to deeper water. Lots of big runs, lots of winding, get it near the boat and see its a kingfish, it takes another big run, she gets it back close to the boat but the 10lb leader pops ... looked a bit rubbed up so assume the kingy got her down to the weeds and rocks at some point. Anyway back we go for a few more passes for nil so we then slow drifted a yakka ... heaps of fish on the sounder and bang, another kingy. Bigger rod with plenty of firepower so this one was subdued. Even though I promised the daughter only one pass in the messy conditions she was up for a few more ... for a few missed strikes and then another hook up. They liked the lollipop yakkas! By 11am the clouds looked even worse so we headed in, although I think it was improving as we left the boat ramp. Just glad the weather didn't put us off at the start! A great day out.

harold Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Kings are everywhere in Pittwater at the moment. They are smashing up baitfish between the moorings. Great to see, we catch them off the front of our boat that is berthed at church point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
