Well done on a cracking Red! What depth? And what size jigheads do you find works best. Hats off to you.

fisholb loves the D

Estimated Size of the fish?

Hey Fishraiders, Went for a jig last week out 12mile and the peak, Jackets everywhere. lost a fair bit of gear but did manage a 13.5kg Kingy. Very stumpy but she was a barrel, like a fat NZ king. Also managed a massive nannygai on a Hawk jig. That was all she wrote and we headed back for Kingfish Sashimi and nice bbq lemon butter Kingy. The Kingys seem to be getting bigger compared to last year!

Mate would have loved to release the big fella but they just dont survive, its weird, only 28-30m of water and there stomachs blow up big time, very different to Sydney where I pull snapper from similar depths and there fine. Im still chasing up more photos, there just photos I took with my phone, will add soon.

Hey Guys, just ran a trip down South Oz last weekend, Although the snapper season is slowing we still got a few big snapper. Went out two days with a charter, ran 30-40miles out into the gulf. Awesome weather for the two days. Biggest went 22+lbs and 98cm , next biggest was 87cm, and got a couple around that mark. also nearly bagged out on King George Whiting biggest going 54cm and 1.5kg it was a ripper. anyway thought id upload some photos. Cheers.

Hi all, Headed out on Sunday morning through Botany heads, the swell had a huge period which made for an initial comfortable run out, then the wind picked up a little and with the raging currents we some pretty sharp seas. we hit the 70fathom line and the right rigger goes off screaming its tits off. I strapped on the gear and we had no idea what we were facing, fast blistering runs, the call was a bull dolly but it there was no breaching action, the fish was stubborn and after about 10mins the trace popped up, still no sign of the fish though which burried her head down, next thing she pops up and we see the beautiful electric blue bars across her, WAHOO!!! The gaff went in after a couple of attempts and we were extremely lucky that the hook pinned her in the corner of the jaw, she went 160cms and around 15-18Kg Very exciting.. once the wind had subsided the swell calmed down and the sun decided to poke its head out, a beautiful afternoon was to be had. but not fish were found.. Did happen to see someone in what looked to be about a 25ft bertrim hooked to a large marlin the went ape and then dove down, saw them fighting with what looked to be hours, with the currents at 3.5knots they would have ended up in Kiama if they didnt get her up... anyway a good day was had and my first ever wahoo! and catching her off Sydney made it all that much more memorable.. Tight lines!!

Good to here there some fin around! Once I recover from a broken ankle ill be sure to get out there and into it..

Whoa nice catch..cant wait till studies are over and i can get back out there

Great stuff mate, good to still see a few around with this shitty weather

Great stuff! looks like those big deep water kings are starting to show up.. time to get out there

That is a bream to be proud of, congratulations shes a monster

I was going through my fishing photos and found an older picture from a while ago, while the deep sea fishing is pretty quiet i thought id post his up, Bar cod went 22kg and its still the boat record... didnt measure it up but its a good size Barrey... It ws my first bar cod and from 180m deep Dad told me to keep pumping the whole way not knowing that once you get them half way up you can back off and take it easy.. It was a solid effort from 180m and a great table fish to go with it... Cheers Sorry Guys this needs to go on the Brag Board not in Fishing Reports...

Hey guys, I got a photo from a days fishing not too long ago, 2 boats went out and had a little fishing comp, 3 Blokes in each boat, 5pm weigh in, winning boat got a case of beer each, anyhow this is the combined catch, im spewing i didnt go out with them that day its a great catch... cheers

That is an awesome session guys, cant ask for much more than that. I see you have a Fish Rule sticker on the side of your boat measuring up a snapper, reminds me of when I was measuring up a huge dolly and te bugger jumped out of my hand and swum away haha. has anyone ever lost an good fish this way?
