Thanks folks.

Thanks and I wish I had read this before I went. No kingies for me but I did see a boat land an 80ish King at the Peak.

Hi folks, New to offshore fishing and was thinking of heading to the peak and 12 mile this weekend to target some kings. In case things are quiet, I was hoping to get some advice on whether there were other spots worth fishing. Planning to hit the colours and around the cliffs on the way back but planning to stay offshore at least until the tide swing at 1pm. Thanks in advance.

Any concerns with electrolysis?

Thanks. Yours sounds like what I’m after do you have any pics? Also what metal is the scoop made out of?

Hey Raiders, Recently purchased a boat (Formosa) which has a live bait tank although requires plumbing. Internal bilge looks a lot cleaner although I’m looking for some guidance: - any pros and cons of a through hull (scoop on the bottom of the hull vs elbow on the rear of the transom)? - any concerns using plastic parts considering the boat will be taken offshore? E.g could the scoop break and let water in. - are these safe with an isolator installed? Anyone had any bad experiences? If you do have a Leak how would you even know (before it’s too late)? Thanks in advance.

Anyone had luck with kingfish inside the bay? I've only heard of the odd capture here and there. Seems unusual to me having fished the bay for many years now there's normally more kingfish action than this.

Nice catch there mate! Yeah we got done by the jackets last week near kurnell. Lost 2 hard earned squid to them.

I use a simpler, less appealing alternative. I have the bilge wiring rigged to a male cigarette adapter and clamp a female adapter to the battery. When in use I plug it in and pull it out to stop. All easily removable once finished.

Well done Trung, looks like you've had a ball! Your mate must be appreciative for breaking his drought. Also I can see you're putting those Samurai Reaction rods to good use!

That's a machine of a fish! Sydney kings are getting better and better.

Hello, Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts regarding new reels and whether they should be oiled/greased in any particular places for preventative maintenance? If so, any advice would be much appreciated. I haven't had as much time to fish lately and as a result have purchased 3 new reels. I want to keep them in tip top shape and was curious about pre-use maintenance. Cheers,

Is that a luvias rod? If so what model and how do you rate them ? Oh btw, nice king especially for botany

Water temp at Mol point yesterday (anchored) was 22 but I did notice it as high as 24 towards the main channel when coming from kurnell side.

Great report mate.. Congratualations on one fine sydney harbour jewie!
