Hey guys, haven't posted in a while but I've been squidding these days with my brother in law and his mate. First stop Chinaman's bay, headed out and a couple of squid came out and we ended up bagging up on them Got a couple and then BANG got a big one and bagged up and headed home. A week or 2 later headed out to the spit, armed with yamashita's and tried squidding despite the low tide.... Couple of casts and flicks over here and there and BANG! Was on to another one! This one was a monster! Didn't really check the hood length but it was big! While reading a lot of posts from other fellow raiders, what really motivated me was Krispy's After Uni Kingy Got me soo hyped up i had to go chase some squid and but it out live! But Bugger nothing! Headed out to Cliffton garden in the morning, gates were still closed, did an all nighter but the rangers still didnt turn up!!!! Then this guy comes in and just opens the gate like he knew it was open, so we followed him in, but then it came to my attention that this bastard was there the week before and was hogging the top corner of the wharf, so i reckon this guy knew it was open even if it looked like it was LOCKED!! So frustrated!!!! Anyone i hope he gets whats coming for him... Went to buy some new yamashita jigs, and natural colour seemed to work really well.. Went to cliffton again last night and caught one of the biggest squid i ever caught! Took drag and was pushing hard! Didnt measure again but was preatty sure it was BIG! Quickly zip locked them! I was dying to write a report just didnt have anything to show you guys! So now i do and this is it! Thanks guys and tight lines! P.S last 2 photos is the big one!!! P.P.S thanks guys to other raiders for the motivation!

Great catch! i would love to catch a few bonnies! where abouts were you land based?

Nice report paul!!! Pity you didnt have a camera with you, would of been some mad shots! Cant believe the wharf was packed on a weekday geezzz Great fish anyway though!

thanks guys~~! I sashimi'ed it straight away, and it was pretty good hehe

Hi there hehe i remember you on the other side and u hooked up a mad slimey and i think you or your friend hooked the annoying bird lol the guy that caught the squid is just another fisho but yeh he hooked some killer bait

Action of kingys died down, because there was a boiling frenzy near the moared boats, couldnt even spot the kings... But action was good, people caught alot of fish, including snapper, bream, and a nice flatty

Damn,, i soo wanted to know when they are fully goneskies!!! um not to sure about the blotches

Wow nice fish, I seem to never hardly get anything at mort bay. But there are alot of frenzies early morning top fish

Hello Everyone, first time posting about a decent fish that was actually caught!!! Previous attempts at balmoral was a disaster, catching a kingy to see that it wasnt hooked properly and after they surface they spit the bait out.... Boy do i have alot to learn... Any hoo Arrived at Balmoral Wharf around 2am on the saturday night. Fished for Squid and Yakka's however only managed to catch 2 squid. However plenty of yakka's but they were way to big. Fished until morning came, me and my mates were all exhausted, until we started to spot the kingys By then there was alot of people on the wharf, and people where throwing their lines over me. Was a bit fed up.. So i took the sinker out, and placed a squid head where i saw the kingy last. The moment i dropped the bait and was adjusted the drag, i can see the kingy tailing the squid, then turning around and BAM! , i was very lucky that he swam towards the open water, Boy do they pull hard!!!. Was thinking to myself "i Poped my kingy virginity" i was trying to be very calm, and everyone reeled in their lines Thanks! expect for one guy which my line got nearly tangled with. I do recall now that paulthetaffy said "No ones got a net??"hehe now i know its you. Back to the story i reeled the kingy towards the wharf suprised that the kingy was exhausted because it was on its side. Called my friend to go down to the wharf and grab the line, but before he could grab it, the kingy just dived under the wharf then PING! So fustrated i nearly had him!!!! Rebaited and casted out again this time with a sinker and a very good nice live yakka. After 30minutes my line goes off again!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Very strong runs at first, i thought it was another kingy this time i wasnt going to loose it! peeled line off like no tomorrow!! after around 4-5 bursts i gained power over him, he was coming from a distance, YES yellow tails!! and the Yellow stripe!!! WOOOT got him, only to see that it wasnt a Kingy once it came closer but happens to be a nice fat fish. i cant put a name on it because there was some arguements saying samson or amberjack measured to be around 50cm I question to all the professional king fishermens!! How can you tell if the kingy is exhausted?? And that it would not take anymore runs?? I hope people fishing on boat near balmoral had some luck as there was a pack of sambo's or kingy's going crazy near the moared boats. Cheers Sam

THAT GUY WAS ME!!!! where you the guy with the sunglasses on next to where i was fishing? With your Float? Next time im sure to say HI!
