Sydney Harbour Monday madness

Hit the water at 5.30am to chase kingies. We headed to Middle Head, then South Head for squid, but couldn't get a follow, so went to Sow and Pigs again no squid and not even a Yakkas. Got lots of undersized Trevally and a bucket load of leather jacket.

We only had fresh frozen squid and no lives, so not very confident but Set out to the heads for kingfish - the target species. What a day, we had 10kg and 15kg braid outfits with 40lb fluropro carbon leaders and mustard circle 8/0 hooks, but could not stop the hoods. We had 5 bust offs. They just headed straight down and were unstoppable. One other fellow was better prepared and land 2 around the 90cm mark. He also said he had several bust offs before upgrading to 100lb leader.

Even though we didn't get a king to the net, it was blinking good fun (for 2-3 minutes).

I'm upgrading my tackle and heading back next weekend.

This post just screams excitement!

We were out 2 Saturdays ago and couldn't find anything bigger than a 42cm bream. Well done mate!
