Hey hey,me and a few mates went out this morning to christen a downrigger this morning on some kingys,we got some yakkas and started downrigging from old mans hat with a livey and got to the front of nth head and booshka,drag screamed of with a solid fight after 5mins up came a 95cm kingy,what a way to test the rigger..There were also plenty of surface action in the harbour with bonito and frigets,also spun up a little mack tuna ...With no action over the last 2 days in the harbour i was so suprised to see it alive with surface action,with lots of blue water around around i knew the kings were back again after the greeny water has moved on.....:tease:

Yeah Kamil he didnt even mention the other fish that smashed him up straight after. It took almost 100m of line and did him cold onto the rocks.
What a morning!

Well done Nathan, a nice King indeed. You are the man for big Kings !!!
I spoke to you on Thursday at the shop, about jigging etc....
Shame I did not get to go offshore, was stuck with the action inside the harbour. Will have to get outside another weekend.
