galini09 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Had an absolute blast on Saturday morning catching some small kings just around the corner from south head. Loaded up on livies early in the morning and had a school of arrow squid up at the boat after following a mate up so grabbed a few of those to. we anchored up on the edge of a small drop off and sent a burly trail along the cliffs, we decide we were going to try some NZ style fishing (well what we've seen from the videos) as it seems to suit our idea of a good days fishing. So first off went a couple of livies along the surface on floats and we sent some very lightly weighted half pilchards and squid strips down the trail. we basically cast as far as we could from the boat on light gear and let them sink down the right in the middle of the burley. well it wasn't long and we were into em. Only small fish in the 60-70cm range but on a symmetre 2500 with 8lb braid they tested every bit of angling skill we had to offer, and of course there were a few that knew their way around the reef and ended it all very quickly. Funnily enough our live baits remained untouched for the first hour of this mayhem, it wasn't until later on that they came up and we got a few the same size on the livies. goes to show you should always try something different if your marking fish and they wont bite. No fish to write home about but the chaos that occurs when you cant even get a bait into the water because half your lines are busted off and the other ones are taking off in the holders is the reason i go fishing. there is just nothing else in the world like it.
