bojulabah Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Kings have been at Long Reef for 3 weeks now and still around. Predictions for this weekend were "average", but no one told the rats as they are there in number. I've boated over 50 in the last 2 sessions - mostly in the 55-75cm range. Of the 50, I've kept 4 and released the rest. Kingfish won't freeze and besteaten on the day there caught. ive been catching them on squid, yellowtail, strips of seargant baker, soft plastics and even on saltwater flies (red and white weighted clouzer style with a 9-12 weight rod). On Sat 2 of us were fishing and boated 33 (3 kept, the rest released). lots of trevally 30-40cm in Berle you trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
