  1. is this possible to book one on such a short notice? for the 20/06/09 can anyone recommended charter company that maybe we can jump onboard with others? it is just for me and the mrs? please pm me details if possible thank you
  2. how would you fish this spot ? would you throw the yakka/slimey/squid strip out unweighted or will you throw it out under a float - if so how deep? or throw it out with a small weight ? cheers
  3. where do you buy these machines from ? andrew
  4. for e.g If LOW tide is at 6pm and HIGH tide is at 12 midnight What time is the turn of the tide?? cheers
  5. 30kg and up to 1.5meters long not a wild king, but would still be a beast to stop and the babies after 1 year weight 1.5kg and then after 18 months they weigh 4kg fast grow rate
  6. if you throw it out live and not cut thats live bait, but fresh squid cut into strips is good also it wont be live bait if you cut it into strips
  7. Hello, Can anyone please explain what shape they cut their squid strips into when sitting at anchor and downrigging for kings? cheers
  8. nah mate in the bay molineaux point w/ the other 30 boats
  9. Hello all, Hit the bay this morning with the plan of landing some kings, we had a good feeling today so we decided to bring the camera and ice (we usually bring neither) Got a couple squid into the live bait tank, and decided to anchor up for some kings, I decided i wanted to have some fun so I fished with 6 pound line with 10 pound trace (my flathead setup). first bait out gets smashed pretty quickly within the first few minutes I was on and after a fight a rat kingie was landed (57cm) Next my mate was on (fishing 20 pound line w/ 40 pound trace), we thought it was a good king it was heavy but didn't go on any crazy runs and went all around the boat (lucky we decided to bring our lines in) and guess what emerges ? 85cm Jewfish... best by-catch. hi-5s all round. then we both got dusted a few times i kept fishing light but my mate got busted of a few times also felt like good kings but i doubt it. then my other mate hanging to catch a king gets a good strike and brings up the fish it didnt fight too great untill it seen the boat then it took a run.. and again guess what emerges ? a good snapper, didnt get the measurements but for the bay it was definately a good size. after that we kept fishing with squid strips (running on a low supply of squid) and I had a long fight with a king, took a few runs got some line back and more runs back and forth, then it went a hid in the reef but then i released the spool of my reel, another run and then BANG.. dusted, I was spewing.. also last bit of prawn my mate catches 1 yakka and throws it out within 30 seconds it was smashed and another rat king landed and thrown back. Best day I have had on the bay by far pity about no kingie keepers... noticed a few other people keeping some undersized kingies, I wish fisheries was there... Pics for all

  13. Hi just looking for some options on getting squid at botany bay.. I have heard Yarra Bay, kurnell and bare island. I have heard paternoster rig for kurnell but how do you fish Yarra bay and bare island (im a little worried about the bombora at bare island) do you just scan for weed beds at yarra bay and cast into them or paternoster aswell ? any other tips would be appreciated thanks
