Middle harbour yak session

[REELCRAZY]

Joined another raider today for a yak session. Launched from fig tree point fishing the bays of middle harbour, out of the wind,  in hopes of a king.

tried for squid in Quakers hat bay from 6am with no luck. Perhaps too much fresh in the system. Lots of undersize tailor thrashing about, stealing baits and munching plastics to bits.  Hooked a bigger model on a fresh caught pilly under a float that released itself boat side. First time for me catching sardines on a bait jig,  though they did not last in the tank. 

Scored a nice sized pinky snapper on a small plastic that was quickly released. 

Sounded up a lot of good markings that looked very much like kings but they would not take anything. Threw plastics (slapstix) and downnrigged some previously caught/ frozen squid strips and fresh sardines  but no interest, even with a stacked up sounder.

weather was suprisingly good despite the forecast. Back in around 10.30

so I think middle harbour definitely holds some good kings at the moment, just need to get them to eat!

Hi Reelcrazy,

How do you manage to launch a yak from Fig Tree? Looks like it would be quite a challenge to get the yak to the water.\

I carry the empty yak to the little gravel beach and then carry my gear tub over and set up on the beach, ready for launch. A fully set up yak would be a bit difficult solo.
