omo Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 armed with the squid that i caught the day before, i fished land based in Port Hacking with the goal of catching a kingfish during sunrise. As soon as I started a berley trail of cubed pilchards, I saw a rat king come and enjoy some of the food floating in the water. I fished with squid strips on a float rig for half an hour then I had a good take. The fish easily pulled line despite there being 6kg of drag. after a minute of tug of war the kingfish started to tire out. Even though it was a rat, it still pulled hard, which I expected. After I netted it, I got a picture of it and released it. The bite eventually went quiet so I packed up. All in all, a pretty enjoyable and relaxing sesh. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookerbruce Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Good work getting the king they don't seem to be in the hacking in any numbers at the moment. I find it works well to use what I berley with for bait. Try the pilchard cube on a 2/0 or 3/0 single hook.
