I will have my redemption on the treacherous kingies... Thanks again for taking me Trung. Even losing a fish on a pearler day beats studying for exams!!

That's awesome, did the king that smoked the guy take a livie or lure?

I like the sound of all of this I really appreciate the OZ hospitality. I would go to Bass Point as much as I could but I am limited by public transportation unfortunately. It's tough business hauling my yakka motel across town!!

Excellent, thanks for the information Lungfai76!

Afternoon fellas, I've been putting in the hours learning how to catch yakkas, tying up balloon rigs, buying a new rod and reel combo (9ft Penn Allegiance rod / 4500 spinfisher w/ 300m of 30lb braid) and scouting the rocks around the Gong. I have come to the conclusion that if I wish to do battle with a kingy off the stones before I go back home November 21st, it will probably happen either north in Coalcliff/Stanwell Park or south in Kiama at the blowhole. Basically, if anyone ever needs a mate to head out onto the rocks with or wants to prove their experience by putting my on a kingy, I would be very grateful. Any tips on what tides to fish off the rocks or decent locations for a landbased angler operating on a student budget would be hectic. Thanks, Mike

Hey mate, I'm an American student studying abroad in Wollongong until November 21st. My classes are wrapping up and I'm keen to get out on a boat as I've been limited to the rocks and beaches. I'm willing to take the train up to Botany with my gear if you ever plan on chasing kingies. Cheers, Michael
