Sydneyfisher12 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I set out yesterday of Sydney with the intention of tagging and releasing some kingfish I set out at 4:30am and started squdding it was hard going only managing 3 squid and 2 cuttle fish i rounded north head and was hit with a lot of chop and a big swell i pushed thru it and arrived at my first spot and set the down rigger. i got hit first pass but didn't hook up. I set another one down but i came back dead so it got stripped up I wasn't seeing much or anyone hooking so i moved to another spot i arrived to my next spot and put one of the cuttles down flipped the bail and i was on it was a great fight and up came a nice kingfish going 71cm i quickly put and tag in a released it i set down another cuttle and hooked up again this one went 70cm and was also tagged and released i had one biggish squid left and decided not to send it down whole but strip it up i tried strips but they weren't getting hits neither were jigs i moved around a bit trying to find them on another spot but didn't find anything i eventually micro jigged and 45cm trevally and got a few 40cm tailor in a bust up but other than that i didn't manage much hopefully we can see some good recapture results with the kings cheers sydneyfisher12 Edited October 19, 2015 by mrsswordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
