Bottom bashing produced Trevs & King

Recommended Posts

Hit Terrigal ramp about 630, bit late for my liking but the old man is getting older 😝. Water was 21.5 relatively clear, wind light. Stopped for a few livies, we were keen on a good Trag session, and hoped fore a few snapper.

Set out for reefy bottom in about 30 m. Trevally were hungry and hitting hard. Tried a few rigs and few depths but no Trags no snapper 🤷🏼

As we got a few Trevs for tea we were looking at another spot. Then bang the livie rod starts singing. Big head shakes I was getting pumped and lucky to get him off the bottom, I was fishing quite low. Dad got the other rods out the road, and readied the net
 

Good while later started to see colour, beauty was a king and must of been his brother coming up with him. Dad did well on the net, very much a team effort. Few hugs, yells and high fives, we were stoked
 

King was 1 meter on the button, my PB and most memorable fish I have ever caught because I did it with Dad, he was very proud. We don’t get out as often these days, and hope one day I get to net one for my boys. 
 

Southerly started to come on and we both knew it was time to head in. Passed tonnes of whales on the way in, Dad and I were high fiving the whole way in.IMG_6506.thumb.jpeg.b3ac004f4ebb5bc42b9afe9202e9575f.jpeg

You have me very jealous!

Sure a 1m kingy is amazing. But all those very respectable trevally!!!! Its been about 2 months since I've caught one, they almost seem to have stopped coming up the Georges were I am and I miss them dearly, maybe its the time of year idk. They taste soo good, I really like them in a teriyaki marinade and pan fried, they are very close behind fried flathead for my favourite eating fish as of recent!!

Great haul and doing it with your father is always a great experience, out doing him is also good fun too!

Sounds like a fantastic day out with your Dad - well done.

Well done. That kingy will be remembered for quite some time and makes for an awesome memory with your dad. 
Enjoy the feast. 
Cheers Zoran. 
ps- how do you cook your trevs ?

I usually have trevs  sashimi and Ceviche. However regularly put them in a tamarind base soup with spinach and broccoli, serve with rice it’s beautiful. Also do them in foil on the bbq, served with a soy / lemon mix and rice! Filipino heritage here, many fish recipes in the bag of tricks!
