perch Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hey guys thinking of heading down to Nelson bay and fishing the breakwall was wondering if kingfish are commonly caught around that area and if so what lures/bait to use and do you get sound off the wall to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Plenty of kingfish at the wall this time of year but they are very very difficult to entice! Key tips if landbased- fresh squid unweighted cast into current stickbaits can work at times but no bigger than 150mm 40lb max or they won’t touch it try fishing low boat traffic periods and good luck trying to land them as you have a lot of obstacles to deal with and these aren’t school kings, they have university degrees! Hope that helps, cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not really many reports of squid lately! Shoal bay would be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Ouch! We’ve had a stack of rain. Either the auto bilge didn’t work or the scuppers not open! Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
