As they say......better late than never.......
And about time I contributed after being a long time reader.....thought that this catch being a little unusual and sizeable could be a worthy report of interest to many.
Fishing early morning Sydney Harbour, drifted around for 30 mins to catch some lives (Yellowtail and Slimies) without too much difficulty before heading to a spot that had been working well for me recently.
Anchored up, dropped down 2 lives...the first about 3/4 to the bottom (40 feet) and the other halfway. Not much was sounding, but a beautiful morning on the harbour with very little wind and was warming up........then.......zing....zing....zing.....ziiiiiiiiing.........my partner in crime was closest (damn it) and he was on......was he on........whilst I was bringing in the other 2 lines the fish was taking him all around the boat after an initial 30 sec run.....then just a steady beat and pull.......shark........ray........defiantly not a King.......eventually up it comes.......took a while to grab and get into the boat with much yahooing and celebrating.......119cm........Amberjack.........(not the greatest picky kept kicking and sliding off the matt...as you can see well off the front line in this image)
Had a bit of a lot online and appears to be a pretty unusual catch (especially that size) for Sydney Harbour.....happy days.....
Tomorrow conditions looking bloody great......time to get out again....
Crispy
