The Rev Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Like Tdogz, ive been out in JB fishing for Kings the past week. Caught a heap of rats between 50-64cm (25 sent back to grow bigger) and just one keeper at 68cm. Most fish were caught on fresh squid I caught each morning. Even though they weren’t big - they can still pull hard! Here is what happens when you put a green king in the boat when you have forgotten to put the lid back on the chicken pellets used to burley up yakkas!

The Rev Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) The marine life is quite amazing down here. Having court enough smaller kings I thought go big or go home and I had just rigged this squid whole and had it in the water at the back of the motor as I was attaching it to the Downrigger when a huge seal came and ate the whole thing while managing to avoid a 6/0 live bait hook and large stinger treble!

big Neil Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can't give seals any opportunity to ruin your plans...they NEVER miss a trick. Catching squid and feeling the (as described) awesome power of a Kingfish, as you try to wrestle it to the boat. These experiences are very high on my bucket list. One day, hopefully? bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss'n'Broke Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi The Rev, myself & my brother are heading down there Friday week for 8 days. Just wondering if the kings are at Point Perp? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, except my kids think going in the boat is all about eating, so I have chips and biscuits crumbs all over the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_White Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 If the Kings are not at Pt. Perp .... head towards Currarong, to a place called "Devils George" .... Troll or live bait about 50 -90 metres away from the platform !!!! Big Kingies, used to live there .... Oh, and Hang On !!! Great_White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in a 4.2m quintrex renegade. Good for when it is calm but the seas have been too rough this week with constant onshore south to south east winds ?. i will have to wait till next time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
