kingie chaser

Collect fin clips of captured kingfish for genetic identification. Crikey, I've got catch one 1st 🤨 @Pickles you will be busy then 😂

No worries

Somethings a bit odd with this thread, same post at the top ofeach page & also I can see the pictures on my android phone but on PC can only see http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/15/y5u4a7ar.jpg with symbol. Old thread I know, maybe different format now?? A bit like you some of the badges apear now. Anyway @Fab1 I did look at the thread on phone & you certainly do do some great looking builds! Could have been your calling to do an Aussie version of this show- https://www.natgeotv.com/int/fish-tank-kings/videos

At least you were armed & ready even if it didnt eventuate A friend of a friend has a boat but when he goes out he doesnt take a rod or anything & just cruises around & swim........................strange man......................... 😂 Then how come whenever I go on one of those xmas party harbour cruises I'm thinking........... dam I wish I had a fishing rod with me

Sounds like an great trip & with all the makings of an amazing seafood spread

New boat, fish & good times. Win win win

Nice report, great times with the littlies, memories they will not forget as they get older

When I mix up the bread with some salt water to make a slurry I add a bit of fish oil. Sends them into a frenzy.

Someone did say what I like to do could be a bit dangerous at times............................................. Maybe thats the attraction.................................🤨

Would be a quick trip out to browns thats for sure

No need to apologies, the search tab can be a bit tricky. I find that it works better with one spcific word only most of the time for a more specific search. Another example would be say putting in just Halco rather than Halco lures- https://www.fishraider.com.au/search/?q=halco&quick=1 On hooks, I replace the trebles on most of my metal lures & replace with a good quality single hook. Most of the time trying to get 2 or 3 barbs out of a fish's mouth take 2 or 3 times as long as the single while means you can be back fishing quicker

Sorry can't help you with marks, never been there. I do remember though that my old man used to go to rainbow beach/DIP every years for some time with a group if mates for a couple of weeks & I would look at pictures of plenty of big mackerel, sailfish & other fish they would catch. Talking about the late 70's here so think you would just troll a lure around anywhere & you would get something. Good luck.

Hope you have a speedy recovery @mrsswordfisherman Less time in traction then back to fishing action 😉

Huh 🤨 This is what I found in one quick search

I have bought lots of gear from overseas websites before but you need to make contact with them, check if they ship OS, what the charges are etc. The alternative is to buy from a eBay seller. Good luck.
