  1. Look like pike to me - still arguably good to eat - even better as livies.

    Botham's Reef?

    I have a feeling its around Scotland Island somewhere but not sure. Was that you out there yesterday Jack who dropped a king in front of me? If so tough mate - I always lose them there if I hookup right on the wreck but have better joy if I hook up off the wreck slightly. Anyway if you do find out please PM me and I'll return the favour. Cheers Flea
  3. Does anyone know the general wherabouts of Botham's Reef? I have quite a few wrecks inside Pittwater that my mate and I have stumbled across, but am unsure where Bothams is, or even if it confused with Boulton's!!!. I am willing to divulge one of my own wrecks that I have found Cheers all and tight lines. Flea
  4. 70cm model two weeks ago. Went out last week and saw a small school of around 5-6 fish on the sounder - they were 'big' - Guestimate at around 1m long. Couldn't raise them though and they didn't hang about long. Cheers Flea
  5. Find the squid then find the kings. Use your sounder to sound out the markers, wrecks, dropoffs etc. If you find balled up bait then usually the kings aren't far behind. Concentrate your downrigging time around the bait balls and you will have success. Downrigging is a slow process and therefore no point in dragging your hard earned baits where the fish aren't!! Kingy Kid - i agree with you mate - Pittwater is not dead and no rats among them either (yet) but keep it quiet
  6. Thanks for the replies. I have rigged up a few metals with singles no 4's. Unfortunately the fish have moved on. Was hoping they would hole up for a few days but I'll have to find some over the weekend. Any reports on salmon in Pitty/Broken Bay?
  7. Went for a spin session on a local beach yesterday. Hooked 6-7 salmon in the half hour I was there but the hooks pulled every time . Two fish took me right down the beach before spitting the hooks. Very frustrating but at least I know the drag system works well. Got home and inspected the hooks on the little chrome slice - not blunt??? What's going on?? Anyone got any tips for staying connected to these guys? Use single hooks or smaller trebles or sharpen the existing ones to needles? I tried not setting the hook at all to just belting them nothing worked. Any suggestions? Cheers Flea
  8. Look slightly better than schoolies mate - nice brace of fish. When and what system - give us a little tease with a report as well. Sorry - just read the report in a seperate thread. Well done but still look a fair bit bigger than 65cm
  9. thanks fellas - now I know I should hang out a little but I probably wont be able to help myself. This weather is fantastic I just hope it lasts until Friday when I'll take a day off work and hopefully take the young bloke out. I'l keep you posted how I go. Cheer Flea
  10. Thought I'd put it out to the more experienced king fisherman as I've only been at it for around a year. When can we expect the kings to show up in Sydney in numbers and does this revolve around water temp? Any help provided to help maximise the precious on water time vs brownie points at home would be much appreciated. Cheers Flea

    Pittwater Squid

    I've been getting a few cuttles around the wharfs recently - but no kingy action at all to follow either.
  12. Try this link out for some great flyfishing vids www.hook.tv in particular this one on some great sight fishing for kings http://www.hook.tv/player.php?key=C2E429A2192563E0 Cheers Flea
  13. Good work - I love seeing Dads pass on the knowledge and passion. I'm assuming the skipper was also wearing one them red uniforms!

    No Kings

    Went for a fish in Pittwater with a good mate today. we did all the right things - got live squid and yakkas and downrigged these amongst a few wrecks before trying outside around the Joey and a little further south. Could not find any kings or any serious schools of bait. Water was a balmy 17.5 degrees, so we were hoping for some action. Hopefully it won't be too long before the kings show up in numbers. All in all a great day to be on the water - I hope others have more success over the weekend. Water was extremely clear and clean. Cheers Flea
  15. Awesome - reminds me of Ernest Hemmingway's the old man and the sea. AWesome, awesome awesome - you deserve all the accolades you get Well done.
