REELCRAZY Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Fished off a mates boat out of botany today. Launched at 4.30 am and tried for squid, tough going with 1 landed. Headed out of the bay and trolled hard bodies along the cliffs, soon after had double hook up.....rat kingfish. Noticed loads of fish cruising near the surface. Loaded the light gear with plastics and cast into the school, hooked up nearly straight away. The next hour or so saw us hooking into loads of fish all in the 55-60 cm range. Fishing 2-4 kg bream sticks with 2500 reels loaded with 10lb ensured many great battles, a few fish busting us off on the light gear. Great fun, all fish released quickly and healthy. Drifted for flathead for only one keeper, plagued by tiny picker flatties. Back in by 12.00. A great day with great company Edited December 11, 2016 by REELCRAZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That would be a great buzz catching them on that gear, I'd imagine. Never caught one but can imagine. BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymondo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 So easy to burn an hour or two on rats and light gear. Super fun. Great for kids when there on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRoots Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Sounds like the perfect way to chase kings. I see a bunch of vids with guys using 80lb and just muscling them aboard. This sounds like way more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
