bojulabah Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Went wide today (Wednesday) and boated 17 rat Kings - none over 65?, but a lot of fun on light gear. Came inside the heads when the southerly blew up about lunchtime and the sounder was chockers with fish - there were lots of gulls circling, but none diving. Several casts with tiny metal and pillies, resulted in nice sized salmon and 35-40 cm Trevalyy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvarking Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nice job mate. I have had my worst winter season fishing of all time, so it's nice to know that at least someone is catching anything. Out of curiosity, what is considered light gear for kings? I was thinking of using my 20lb outfit for chasing kings, but I'm not 100% it's going to be up to the job.

ebenos Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nice to see some surface action around the heads. I plan to head out saturday morning for an SP session around some of the washed and maybe out wide for some snapper in deeper water.. hopefully i have your luck.

Not just you mate, my house-mate runs a charter in Terrigal and has had to cancel 9 of his last charters and has had 3 doughnuts when he did go out...the water has only just dropped in temp so maybe some late season love will show up. We have resorted to rock hopping for blackies and grouper on the fly....the grouper have yet to be landed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger ones need a bit more grunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
