Scent Blazer Lures Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) only comment i can make on this is that Ive had some massive baits out around Sydney heads that i couldn't even begin to stop the fish on 100lb braid with 120 mono leader. They could potentially be sharks but the fights were very kingfish like. in other words it was all of about 5 seconds until i was completely bricked. i doubt this report is true but there could certainly be fish in excess of 20kg lurking around remembering that most of the fish that make it past about 15kg are rarely caught. yeah I couldn't agree more, you are way more likely to get busted off by the really big ones Does anyone live bait at Northerners for kingies anymore? We never managed to pull a big kingie out of there, but not from a lack of trying, We only landed smaller ones up to 8kg. The bigger ones were unstoppable on 80lb, they'd just run us into the reef and bust us off everytime. We mainly used live yakkas but would prefer sea pike or small bonito if we could get our hands on them. We hooked kings there that took 3lb bonnies. Some might have been sharks but I would say most of them were big kings. Edited January 19, 2016 by Scent Blazer Lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
