Pickles Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) As promised, a report from today with Steve (FishyMcfishFace) and Lloyd chasing kings. A stop to fill the bait tank up with jellybean Yakkas and then the artificial for slimies. No squid todayđ but we had pilchards, Yakkas and slimies so most options covered. We headed out wide, deciding not to stick in the harbour even though wind was predicted to spring up around 10.30. The right decision was made as we cleaned up big time, boating 16 kings and getting smoked by a dozen others. A hint for newcomers wanting to target kings - donât be afraid to burley hard. We were using 80lb Fluor leader and still getting smashed by some big units, interestingly quite a few were coaxed in on 30lb and some really nice Trevally also. Steve broke in a new rod and landed some really good kings, whilst I just â broke a rodâ - snapped off at the winch / reel seat because I put in an upright rod holder to net one of the other lads fish, I did however land the fish, which was some consolation. We kept only one fish each - the rest released.  A good day with good mates in Gods great outdoors.
