Port Jackson SP action

[ALI-G]

Was up early and hit the water at 545am.

Plan was to head out to troll some skirts in the hope of a Dolly on the way to long reef but had the oil light flashing on my dash! Gutted. Figured Suzuki must make allowances for an early warning system but decided to stay in the harbour just in case.

tried a few spots for squid but only managed one small cuttlefish which was ceremoniously demolished by leather jackets when dropped at a marker. Grrrrr!

Decided to have a flick at the markers with some 9in Slug go's and my mate Max got hit straight away but the 40lb fluoro wasn't strong enough and he got snapped off!! It was a big king maybe a metre plus.

Second hit and the fish Stripped the plastic from the jig head!

Third hit and the hook pulled!!

Fourth and we managed to boat a fat 73cm king!!!

Perfect conditions and lots of kings sounding at the marker buoys but they would have been easier with live baits.

Also saw a seal pup and some dolphins. The pup had teeth marks all the way around his body but was fine. Must have escaped a GW attack

What model suzuki do you have??

Cause the flashing oil light just means it's due for a service on mine.

To get rid of it flashing you can pull the kill switch 3 times

Great work on the king mate

I tried a couple of markers yesterday with a 5inch jerk shad would you mind telling me what marker you got them on

I also think I saw that seal it had a couple of marks from something at the back

Well done mate

Great fish

To get popped off on 40lb means it was something BIG

At least you boated a king, always nice to get one, especially a legal one

Hi mate great effort those kings are freight trains I don't fish kings much but from what iv read on this forum so far 40lb leader might be light on?

Well done on the king mate they seem to be finicky at the moment.

Sure mate, I think the longer slug-go's/slap stix have a better action which helps to get the fish excited :0)

We hooked them all old yeller.
