Pickles Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Had a great day turning “Cabin fever” into “Kingie fever” off Barrenjoey today (Friday). Prediction wasn’t great, but other than a little choppy in morning the conditions were perfect, small swell, no wind, overcast and slight current. Yakkas we’re non existent at West Head, but I had squid left over from last trip (4 weeks ago) and the Kingies were hungry. I was with 2 buddies and between us we boated 11 good sized Kingies. I tagged 7 and we kept four in the 70’s for the table. I’ve been finclipping forDPI fisheries so we were able to get quite a few vials with samples to send in. Also got some nice flatties, so fish on the menu again😊😊 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJames Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Noice! How was the water quality? Many trees/cattle/Holden Commodores/fridges afloat? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Well done Bob and crew. Hmmmm now remind me what does fresh fish taste like? Oh that’s right … fantastic! Enjoy the fruits of your labours - even though it’s a bit rich implying fishing is laborious. cheers Zoran 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water was surprisingly good, not clear and lightly discoloured, but viz about 5’, but still a fair bit of debris floating around. Went out to 50m mark, but still murky. Most debris was tree branches, small logs etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall read your posts with great interest and await the opportunity to head back up to Sydney to catch up with yourself and Derek. Look forward to it.
