Raysway Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 That is a great question. I have caught similar fish at different times, and I'd agree, pound for pound the kingy would fight the hardest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Hi Marty, Well done guys what a fantastic report well worth the efforts, If you don't mind could you tell us the approx. fuel used and time taken from Port to Port?, did you stay at the Marina in Nelson bay? It's just that some day I would love to do a fishing trip like that one. Edited September 25, 2014 by Robroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes for any trip for that matter. Just putting it out there. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secho Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi Marty, Well done guys what a fantastic report well worth the efforts, If you don't mind could you tell us the approx. fuel used and time taken from Port to Port?, did you stay at the Marina in Nelson bay? It's just that some day I would love to do a fishing trip like that one. Approx 175 litres each way per side (sailfish cat) Honda 150hp 4 strokes.. Botany to port via bait station, Norah canyons and car park is 113 nautical miles (211km) we steam to broken bay wide at about 25 - 30 knots before we drop lures in on way up. On return we steam to carpark before dropping spread. We leave 4am and get in at about 7:30pm. Marina at nelson bay is usually $70 to $90 a night for secure berth, fuel on the marina is $2 a litre, seabreeze hotel across the road does rooms for $105 (3 ppl). Cheers Secho.

Scent Blazer Lures Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) that's unreal, well done, I just checked ripcharts and there is a crazy temp break that runs along the shelf at the moment haven't been get out myself for 3 weeks, too much work and school holidays. So jealous, I am stinging to get out, might be able to get out there next Tuesday, fingers crossed the fish hang around Edited September 26, 2014 by Scent Blazer Lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippinlips Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Great stuff....amazing pictures of the fish under it but I really think you should have tied a line to the boat and towed it a little closer to sydney!!! Cheers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
