Took a good mate out last week aiming to get our first kings for the season , managed to get a few squid then we hit our usual piece of reef and deployed our live squidlies , within about 10 minutes my mate grunts that he is on. I wound in and readied the gaff. He got a 10.55 kg off the bat , nice now he can relax. He waited about 30 mons , had a beer and gave me a chance to hook up. No good , I said to him to drop another squid , saying I bet you hook up straight away. Yep he did too , another about the same size. I was now getting anxious having seeing him land 2 good fish and me gaffing them too.
Well it took about another 20 mins till I had a sudden bend in the rod and I was on , got him in the esky at about 9 kg.
We had a crack for a bit longer before deciding to call it quits having enough fish and headed back to the ramp to clean up.
Great arvo session , good to get one early and now ready to upsize. Looking for the 18 kg plus now.
