Thanks mate. From memory I think aroound 10-15metres? Thanks Daniel. It was a good day brother. Looking forward to a few more. Thank you Paikea. Daniel cooked it up a treat. It fed two families. They certainly are a special fish to eat. Thanks Shaun. It was an awesome catch. One I'll remember for a long time.

Hi Ladies and Gents, Thanks for the add by the admin team. I thought I would post up a report on my first boat outing in a while and contribute to the forum. I was lucky to get out for a fish with my brother in law on his boat on Saturday. The plan was to chase kings so after a late shift and 3 hours sleep, I met up the Dan at 4.15am. We stopped by for some fuel and a supply of bait in case liveys weren't co-operating. We managed to hit the water at around 5.30am and conditions were great with the bay glass like and a zephyr of wind blowing on our way to Dan's favoured squid ground. Hopefully we would bag some live squid though that proved unsuccessful so the decision was made to see what we could do with the squid we had purchased. We headed for open water and managed to boat a kingy with each of the squid we had rigged though rats were all they were attracting. I must say I enjoy the fight the kings put up even though we didn't manage to bring any home. With that a decision was made to try our luck back in the bay. We tried a couple of spots without much action before settling on a final spot before heading for the boat ramp. The wind had picked up a little so we anchored and decided to try for 30mins before heading from home. We managed to land a trevally each, a nice tailor and flatty for Dan and the best flatty I have ever laid eyes on, let alone caught. After getting him in the net and in the boat, we were high fiving when he jumped back into the water. Luckily I was still firmly holding the rod and Dan secured him in the net a second time. He went 800mm and weighed in at 3.5kgs. Thanks and look forward to a few more trips before life gets back in the way. Cheers and thanks for reading. Tight lines, JD
