Hey guys,
Well went out for a fish today, the first decent chance i have had for a while and after last Saturdays Southerlies making my reg grounds unfishable that day i wanted to get out and give the harbour main a good go.
Two mates went out yesterday and told me they got onto heaps of kings so a call was made to Steve to see if he wanted to go out, he said yes and we were set.....
We hit the water about 4.00am and started for squid, by 6.00am we had an assortment of 8 Arrow and 6 Calamari Squid,....
Off to the kingy grounds we went......
got my new riggers down and within minutes we are on and a 66cm king is boated, then another 2 minutes later.....Steve puts them both on ice and then we start having fun
Over the next 2 hours we boated over 15 kings ranging from 65cm to 78cm, mind you these are extremely Fat kings for there size and fought very well, We also got busted off 4 times by much much bigger fish, each bust off was on the Stella 20000 and the fish could not be stopped......Steve nearly fell in on the last fish as his drag was locked to about 15kg and the kingy was still pulling drag....
Unfortunately the bad side to today was some tackle damage, I need a new Bail arm for my STella 20000 as it was damage during one of the bust offs and i also snapped the handle of my squidding outfit when i landed on it after being busted off and falling down on it...
We saw 20.5 Degree water throughout the harbour today and the kings are definately here to play....
We callred it quits at about 10.30am when i ran out of Sliding Snell rigs due to the bust offs...
All fish bar the first 2 were tagged and released........
