allen_f Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hey Raiders, I hope everyone got out today! The weather was immaculate. I'll keep it nice and short. Went out to lilli pilli today for a fish and the goal was the catch my first ever kingy! Safe to say mission accomplished (crying with joy right now). I've been wanting to catch a king for ages and it finally happened today! Couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the raiders that gave me advice. Also I bumped into two other kayak fisherman this morning so if you fellas are on this forum, say hello As you guys know, I've taken to editing all my trips now into videos, so I'll mostly give you video reports. Hope my amateur fishing is enough to keep you guys entertained And also the missus got my a gomoku kaiten to help with catching the kings, does anyone have any suggestions as to what reel would match this beautiful rod? Help would be appreciated. Any how enjoy the video! Fish went: 63cm 65cm 68cm New years sashimi sorted and a fillet for dinner tonight cooked in chinese soy and chilli marinade.

jenno64 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That's a great vid and congrats on the kings...especially the legal edible one! You must have had them burleyed up big time as the hangers on were thereabouts when you pulled each one in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynabolt Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Good work there. Very useful for me as you showed that berleying was quite important.... Whilst everyone says it, I have never seen it in action from a yak Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Allen, That was inspirational. I was down at Dolls Point today. I didn't catch anything, but that wasn't the point as I was getting the feel of a new combo. However, the amount of boats and jet skiers made me think that most of the fish would be spooked. Your effort proved otherwise. I know that area and I'll bet you rode the wake of more than the occasional boat. But those kingies were aggressive. Your berleying no doubt played a big part in that. Well done on both the results and the video report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen_f Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Thanks everyone! I didn't think berleying was too important before either but after today, i can guarantee all old pillies are getting chopped up and thrown around the yak everytime i go out hahaha.

allen_f Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well done Allen great catch and video. Can you share the Chinese soy and chilli kingfish recipe please? Hahah Thanks mate. I would love to give you the recipe except i have no idea how my mum made it. I think you start off by pan frying the fillet then slowly adding a bit of soy sauce, sugar, shallots, garlic, a few slices of ginger and of course chilli. Let it simmer till the sauce turns kind of thick but still runny and it should be done Goodluck, if my mum shares the full recipe, I will update it!

JET01 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 What I'd like to know is how on earth did that guy tip over the Hobie outback in an estuary? I remember fishing that same spot in my Revo a few years ago, it's always flat unless a massive ski boat goes past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
