kingie chaser

Im heading there tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed they are still there as I need a bit of fun, even if its rat kings. You never know a 65cm model may show up eventually

Nice size! Well done, 3kg is better than zip Should be nice on Chrissy day 👍

Hi Derek, it sounds like you have acted in your & the publics best interest & handle it quite well but my question in where does this persons behaviour come in the realm of the law?? Can his action affect public safety? Sounds like it. Can harm or injury to the public be caused by his actions? It sounds like it. I would be inclined to inform the local police who may think it is trivial BUT they are there to protect the public & may at least be able to give him a warning he will actually listen to & if not adhered to then shut him down all together. Plenty of similar situations like this around where someone is doing the wrong thing & when approached that person ends up either a victim or a statistic so let the police handle it. I'd be discreetly taking a picture of this guy to show the police as well!!

Whats the boat anyway?? Looks like a Quintrex sportsman?

It may not be in your 'plans' but its there for a reason. Id be testing how the boat gets up to speed & sits before taking them off.

Could just be a previous owner mod for some reason or a factory mod, probably to disperse wash although seeing the nice V of the bow it also could be to help lower in speed plaining?. That's my answer anyway

Where's the spit 😳 Nice instructional vid

Also plenty of threads on here for info & you just have to type Port Stephens into the search bar & you will be onto lots of good info. You can have a look at what epic snaps & others the boys have been up into recently including many from mr scratchie. along with his guide which I thought he might attach for you 🤪 The search bar is your friend here or google will direct you here as well on most occasions. Enjoy the trip 👍

A good month there mate . Wow on the gummies, I didn't think they were caught this far up the coast. If I got one of those I'd be keeping it as they are a pretty nice fish to eat so I have heard?

Totally agree but unfortunately we are spoilt for options here whether better or not is debatable. Even a lot of what we call 'bait' fish like slimies, mullet, pilchards (or anything in the herring family) etc are all well sort after in other countries. This summer my mission going to try as many bycatch or 'trash' species I can in various was, smoked, ceviche, crumbed & fried, sashimi. I have been told trevally makes excellent sashimi but I have always just throw them back because I guess its has been passed down to me that they are just a non eating fish. Probably only 1 fish I will give a miss, never heard a good thing about the old Sargent Baker although it could be just about the bones more than anything?

Well done pickles

Used to prawn at St.Georges basin when mum used to like there. Some nights we would come home with a 10ltr bucket. At times they run through the inlet there at Sussex but not sure on how the moon phase/timing works.

I like simple & easy, but there are many ways to use the same ingredient. All the fry type of mixes are great for a snack type of meal but these 2 pieces are something to treat like beef cheek & pork belly. Who here likes the idea of a similar thing to an English pork pie but filled with poached fish wing & cheek meat? Not all seafood has to be fired imo , love steamed, or poached in a court bullion ☺️

Any day your out there trying is great day. Well done.
