Krispy ! Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hey raiders im heading out to 12 mile and the peak on a mates boat on sunday and dont really know what to expect as ive never gone out that far off sydney before. Am i a realistic chance of yellowfin? Or am i better off jigging for kings and bottom bashing. Also what kind of fish can be encountered on the reef? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amkr Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You'll be getting calls from magazines everywhere if you get a yellowfin at the peak! Jig for kings What other fish can be encountered at the peak, other than kingfish? Leather jackets :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaClH2OK9 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The peak is a great spot for long fin Pearce too. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaClH2OK9 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 That's what me and katoe were using last time there. Obviously you need a mild current to hit bottom. We found just Ne of the peak 200m ish was best but worth a longer drift to find them)( sorry I'm not 100% on best times of year for them) Others will have more experience than me on the kings but you will need to sound around for them. They are not necessarily right on top of the peak. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towlersbay boy Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Was out at 12 mile on Sunday. got a few kings but no monsters as they were a bit thin out there, fish sitting about 30m off the bottom. live bait will generally works better than jigs but some days they will smash anything. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breed Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 As said above, if you're looking for Kings its best to sound them out rather than jigging in the dark. You should see them where the bait stacks up. In terms of bottom bashing, there are definitely plenty of species on offer and its quite a lucky dip. A few weeks ago we pulled kings, morwong, perch, nannygai, leatherjacket, snapper and pigfish. Standard paternoster with a suitable sinker will do the job. Good luck!

fragmeister Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Should be fine with a fairly low swell predicted. If you are not familiar with 12 mile its a bonus if there are a few boats our there because the reef takes a bit of mapping out. Good luck. Looking forward to reading the report.
