Fishing is never a waste of time if you learn something, just give it a try, or see if there's any fish closer in. Someone has to be person that finds out if there's fish on the bite.

Kingies can run hot and cold. There can also be a lot of boat traffic on a Sunday at the Peak which can put them off the bite. A lot of boats try the Peak first then go on to the 12 mile if things are quiet. I have heard some good reports from the 12 mile recently - though you need a decent sized boat to fish there safely.  I would recommend taking some jigging gear and/ or fresh squid as well in case you can't catch live bait or to give them an alternate offering.

Hey tarik, I was there a few weeks back - most people were jigging. Not much action that day, but all spots can be like that at times. Still worth getting out and having a go.

Post a report of the outcome if you go
