MacLon Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 hi all i am heading to Port Stephens for a weeks fishing. Any tips for Kings early around the heads, inshore reefs or breakwall? All help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 There have been some reports of rats along the NB breakwall, inside on the marina side too. There are occasionally some hoodlums amongst them. Live squid floated out around first/last light might do the trick. You could also try slow trolling a live slimy, yakka or squid along the wall. Some guys also try stick baits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest rats to date I have ever seen! Havent seen them for a while but the coop & surrounding area is a lot different now, no traps all over the place etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I landed one once... I wish I’d busted it off! I hate the dirty things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLon Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Thank you i will concentrate on the squid and the Kings should happen. When slow trolling do you find they strike on one direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
