papafish Posted May 5, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Flatty Posted May 5, 2022 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
