papafish Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Went for a short session started at 2pm and left at 4pm to avoid the traffic! armed with fresh school prawns and a bucket of burley, started my Hurley trap while I was setting up my rod. First cast and I was on!!! Bang, while I was reeling in my fish, I continued my burley, and while removing the hook I continued my burley again!😂 hook out 2nd cast! And bang!! I was on!!! Anyone it was fish after fish, it stopped at 7 fish, for the next hour baby snapper came!!! Boring. Just 15 min before I call it a day!! Massive hit and Bang!!! Took off like a train. A Kingie. fought for about 5min and had it almost to the surface and the guy next to me hand his net out, and say tire it out, tired it out!! So I gave it another chance to run around!! And I regret it! It went straight down the edge where I was standing…. The line was stuck.. and pop it goes…🥲🥲 next time it’s gonna be fast and furious. 8 lb line doing the damage 9
Little_Flatty Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Nice one @papafish! It's funny that often you catch most of your bag in a very short period of time. Shame about the king, it would have been a nice addition to the bag if it was legal. Was this in the harbour, the bay or the hacking?
Larkin Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Well done on the feed. Must of hit a school of them! Good fun 1
ilkfish Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Papafish, Thats a top catch. Trevally are great fighting fish. Make great sushimi. I guess the winter months is when trevally come to the estuaries 1

bessell1955 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 You do not muck around in with the line and then out with the fish. Great result.
