ALI-G Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited October 26, 2014 by ALI-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman_zx10r Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
