mikei000 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hey all long time between posts. Been up at the bay for a couple of weeks now and been trying to catch a kingie (only ever caught one). Was close to catching one at the marina yesterday because some spearfishernan swam across from the other breakwall under my line and speared a good size kingie right under where I was. Wasn't too happy about that, tell me if I'm wrong? Lol Only here for 1 more day but keen to have a crack tomorrow morning if anyone is keen for a partner for some rock fishing or if your boating Im Happy to contribute and clean etc. Currently been trying ganged garfish with a skirt, cast and retrieving like a lure from marina and rocks.

Hooked-Up Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I wouldn’t be too impressed either. Saying that, where there’s one king there’s usually more so maybe the bait you used wasn’t (good) enough on the day. put some freshly caught squid baits down and I’d be surprised if you didn’t get one if they are still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikei000 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yeah that' a good point, I just bought them from the coop unsalted and gutted which unfortunately they don't last as long being casted. Might have a go for some squid later tonight if the heartbreak from yesterday has healed enough. Thanks for the advice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Unweighted fresh squid floated with the current at the end of the outer breakwall and your a real chance! Get there early before the boat traffic, especially this time of year! Cheers scratchie!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
