Squidding and kingfishing - live report

Recommended Posts

It is a beautiful morning out on the bay. Swordie and I decided to take advantage of the perfect weather conditions. 

Jonno and nbdshroom were out also and followed us for the adventure. We met a few other raiders here too :)

Earlier today we grabbed a few squid at Kurnell and headed across the bay to catch kingies. This is my first try and I sat patiently waiting for a tap, tap, tap on the end of my line.

Suddenly zzzzzzzzz and boy don’t they pull. Cheers all round. Gee isn’t this fun! 

I will keep casting this squid out and see how I go. 

So far me 3 and swordie 1. All pics mine so far :)

Mini report:

It was certainly a beautiful day out there at Molineux Point and about 10-15 other boats thought so too!

The bite was a lot tougher today (compared to the previous outing with Stewy which was simply magical and it was always going to be hard to top) but the kings were definitely around. We didn't have to look very hard in the water to see them. They were a little bit picky but they were taking squid strips which is what most people were using. Whole prawns also seemed to do the trick. It was nice to see everyone hook up at some stage, including a father and young daughter duo who looked like they were having a ball. My favourite moment was seeing her dad take control of the net duties and try and land her kingy. 

For us,  Jonno got his first king which was very exciting to see. I didn't take photos as I should have but I did capture his first below. Well done mate! Also congrats to Donna for ticking that off in style too.

It was nice to see Stewy and Donna hooking up in front of us too. All in all, it was a great day, the swell was small and the wind was calm.

Congratulations Donna,

Be warned that they can be very addictive. Looking back at the time I have spent chasing them I love and hate them at the same time. I love catching them but I'd prefer if there was less time between catches.

Thank you to you and Stewie for a fantastic 2018 on Fishraider.

Hope you have a fun time heading into the Christmas festivities.

Warm regards,

Derek

Caught some top squid, and always great to catch a first time kingy, geez they go well!

Congrats to Donna for her first king as well 😎

Pete you’re welcome to come out anytime, it was great having you on board, you make a great net man 😮😂

 

Thats my fishing done until after Xmas as well.

 

Hope everyone has a safe, and happy Xmas!

Love the pics boys!

Good to see you again Pete and I agree that little girl assisted by her Dad to catch the fish was magic! I love to see the Dads taking their kids out fishing. 

Well done team
