G'day raiders

Today I headed out in search of kingies I knew I had to head wide I find clean water so I did

Got to Drummoyne at 6:30am and launched into the chocolate water it was filthy with rubbish everywhere

I headed straight out the heads to a inshore reef which has been producing lately the water was still very brown and there were no kingies to be found

I headed wider to a offshore reef and when I arrived there was over 50 boats some catching fish I marker good and dropped my 200g jig straight down jig jig jig bam I'm on after a long fight on heavy gear I had my pb in the boat 81cm!

I kept fishing and landed a 45cm Samson fish and more kingies around 75cm I ended up landing 5 kingfish kept 3 let one 75cm go and a rat and kept the Samson fish I got busted off on my light jig rod once and dropped a few on my heavy gear.

It was a great session and it was great to finally beat my pb

Lost 2... One snapped 20kg mono after taking a pilly on the way down the other spat the hook on a jig at the boat, left after that. Had been a long day of trolling for very little reward, the pinnacle was our last ditch attempt to get something decent and after we dropped the 2nd we cried and went home!

Oh we didn't come back empty, a few jackets caught while jigging at 12 mile and a few small Bonnies for next weeks bait - but not my thread so well done Seamus on your PB, next time I'll come park up next to you!

It went hard after you left mate, we ended up with around 25-30 fish. Got smashed by hail on the way in though which wasn't fun

yeh I saw you out there mate they came on after the tide change i was just starting to get them on jigs again but then left to beat the storm Edited by Sydneyfisher12

I think you will find it had more to do with less boats than the tide. We kept moving away from the main pack and found a couple of schools that had tightened up and we hooked-up straight away. Then 10 boats surrounded us and the school thinned out and the bite turned off. Later when there was only 3 of us there it was non stop action for about an hour and a bit with the fish around 75-85cm

yeh i kept moving following you its my first time there its seems to be that the fish move around a couple of pinnacles. super fun fishing especially when the fish are all over 70cm and on jigs
