Huon kings

Gday raiders

 

Was wondering if its worth a run up to the Huon cages to see if any Kings are still hanging around?

 

Cheers

It’s been a no go zone all February so I haven’t heard anything. I have heard that there are a lot of sharks hanging around the pens though... with the usual quotes “never seen so many sharks”, “I wouldn’t put a toe in the water” etc. and I also read that the dolphin watch boats are not seeing the dolphins in that area like they normally do - they reckon they’re staying well clear of the sharks.

Having said that, there’s plenty of places to fish at Port and plenty of fish to target. There’s a heap of marlin around... some of the boats in the last two game comps tagged 10 or more a day. The forecast is not looking too bad for the weekend... of course it’s looking good - I’m working! I can’t get out until Monday - slight seas but southerlies predicted I might fish south but you never know. ? From Wednesday, I’m on holidays. ? Bring it on! ? ? ?

Great advice Baz. Plenty of places to fish not just the kingfish pens. Although I still have 10 filleted in the freezer! Port is always worth a trip even if you don’t catch any fish!  

cheers scratchie!!!

I’m at the  kingfish pens now with 2 other boats. Not a lot of action. Got a live yakka out. Half a pillie and flicking lures. The depth alam on my sounderkeeps going off due to bait under the boat. Frustrating!
