REELCRAZY Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yak session out of little manly this morning. No wind and swell ok. Fished quarantine station to out front of north head. Trolled hard bodies in search of the fish, no takers. Stopped at old mans hat and cast stick baits...nothing. Kept trolling to north head and fished plastics ( white slapstix on 1/4 ounce jig head) around the ledges. Not much bait around, no salmon boils. Turned back and had a flick around the "green wheely bin" just inside north head. Finally hooked up to a fat little rat king. Gave me a good tussel on 20lb spooled on diawa freams on my azusa 4-7kg outfit. Quickly released. They were not schooling up like last weekend unfortunately so after a good size Sargent baker we called it. 3 weekend sessions in a row with kings now!! Keep them coming. Hope the bigger models show up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put all the mods on it, no dramas. 4 metres long and nice and stable so goes offshore well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlvbw Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hey mate. Would be keen to chase harbour kings at some point. Keep me in mind if you want someone to outfish. Cheers. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Awesome fish! It does look a bit hectic out there on the yak. How far out can you go? I have seen some pretty big kings in the harbour recently around the 80cm mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some pretty big kings in the harbour recently around the 80cm mark. Yeah I find the structure a little too spread out in the harbour for the kayak, makes for a lot of paddling. I like to fish the inner reefs just outside the heads, I think you get more concentrated structure close to deeper water and current. Generally don't go more than 500 m out.
