thefisherman6784 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 G'day raiders Yesterday (6/6/15), Seamus and I headed offshore today in hope of some kingfish action, and that's exactly what we got!! Was out there at 6am, few drops with the jigs for nothing, then some bird activity was spotted with hundreds and thousands of rat kings everywhere! I quickly tie on a 3" powerbait minnow on my 1-3kg loomis and bam first cast pulled a nice king! All fish where very skinny but all fought harder than usual which was fun Then I hooked another, then before we knew it, a double hook up with seamus getting spooled with only less than 10m of line left but after we back up on him, we both landed two nice kings around the 60 mark This was absolute kingy mayhem with kings everywhere around us Seamus had the smart idea to tie a popper on and we had some of the most amazing hits, I even got a picture of a king launching the popper, and it's self out of the water!! Anyway, they went down and began jigging and got a few kings and trevally the size of our jigs! Then moved to a few spots to try our luck on snapper or trag but nothing so headed back to the kings and there they were busting up again For the next hour we caught plenty of nice kings, including seamus catching a 70cm king on a surface popper! Then when they went down, dropped a few plastics and got 2 more Headed back in at 1pm, then went spinning for a bit after seeing some bust ups and I pulled a very nice healthy salmon and to my surprise, a very late season frigate mackerel Then seamus catches a very nice squid What a day!!! A day to never forget with over 20 kings coming aboard! And seamus caught an absolute stonka of a kingy measuring in at just over 30cm!!

Yowie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Very good effort there. Save your money and have a holiday at Lord Howe Island. That is kingfish heaven. When I was there many years ago, I caught them on handlines on a charter boat trip, if I did not like the size of one that was about to eat the bait, I would pull the bait away towards a bigger one and hook into that instead. The kingies taste better than the ones caught on the mainland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eli Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Nice one guys looks like fun, not too far offshore at all, looks like it must be very close to a certain spot where fishing isn't allowed, careful now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
