AHI SLAYER

Looking fat and ready to spawn no doubt

Bucket and water changes, they are a super hardy fish... the bigger they are the more often you have to change the water...

Yeah I find that when I am in 30 ft or less the livies swim at a pretty good depth.

Haha. that's a real fish!

Hey guys got out on the harbor at about 6:00 went to my bait spot and stocked up on yakkas and started to troll the cliffs. All baits unweighted. no bites at my usual spots so went to the outside marker. Saw a fish hanging on the chain so I sent my livie down and I was on. 64cm Kingfish... Stayed a bit longer but no takers. Started trolling some more baits till we ran into a massive boil of fish. I am guessing they were eating whitebait because they would only take my tiny fry lure. Sent down a small yakka and got smashed by a little rat 45cm. Friend caught another massive salmon on the fry lure, then some donkey full throttled right through the school and started throwing some massive plastics and scared the school away. Went on to Washaway beach back in towards Manly, restocked on bait and did one last pass down to the aquarium and back, managed to get another rat about 66cm. Pretty much fish all over the place. All fish taken on unwaited yakkas and 50lb Fluro cheers

Sick one!

On my sup

1 short of 70!! Caught on the SUP!!! Chronic flattie technique! Like a silent hunter

Plenty of bait starting to show up in North Harbour. Flatties are starting to pick up the pace.. Have been having success on small soft plastic minnows. Also catching salmon using a clear plastic bobber filled with a bit of water and little whitebait fly, this seems to work when all other lures fail, specially this early in the season. Usually throw em back but this one is making tacos... Try the runout tide in the shallows I find they are just sitting there heads against the tide waiting for bait to pass.

Went out early Saturday morning at sunlight. Caught some Yakkas (a bunch of small ones and two big ones). bridled up the two large ones ( 20cm) one weighted and one up top with no weight. Managed to get one on the top bait a bit after tide change(73cm). Put a smaller one on the top rig with the larger still weighted. Live baiting to Dobroyd and back with one samon on the way back. Fish are definitely holding in the harbour with the thick presence of bait around. Saw thick trails of bait fish in the currents. Patience is key.

I fish a with an egg sinker (weight depending on what depth I want it to go down to) to a 50lb flurocarb leader wingspan length in a forward Idle at two seperate depths... I am not from Aus, so I just fish Hawaiian Style.... Use a balloon when I am stationary in the Burly trail, but I prefer to look for them, as my tinny(5hp) is too small to go to the really good structural spots outside North Harbour.

I always mix with bread!

Canned home brand actually

Went out fishing yesterday afternoon to my favourite spot in North Harbour. Used Woolies Brand cat food IMO the best burley out there. Within minutes had thousands of Yakkas and ballyhoo all over. Caught a couple of livies then the school spooked. Dropped one down and hooked a salmon about 60cm. When I brought it up it was plagued with Rat kings est. up to 60cm. Caught one more and a rat. then decided to slow troll a yakka around the shore near heading towards middle head. On my way back I got absolutely slammed, fish took about 70m. I tried to get it to deeper water but this is no easy feet when in a 11ft tinny in a 25km headwind. Eventually broke me off. I am guessing this would have been a metre fish easy. They are out there!! If you are just out there for fun and cant get the rats to bite I suggest white bread dipped in cat food. I have caught tonnes like this. Good luck
