King chaser Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Sitting at my desk all week watching Willy weather, psyched myself up for a trip out wide for the weekend. Had to fish solo today, the old man wasn’t keen. launched at terrigal and filled up on livies. Sea was 21.3 degrees, water was clean and seas were gentle made a quick Punch out to Texas (The cones if your speaking with a local). Not long before it was a car park. Fish were spread out no big schools or markA few people had some luck but they weren’t thick by any measure. Did some exploring to the south and found a nice rock in the middle of nowhere with a good show. They were not interest in the livies. My yellow and green jig was left untouched. Switched to a red and blue jig and the action started. Got my 5 pretty quick biggest went 90cm. Stoked when I got the fifth, my arms were gassed The run in was quick, nearly flat stick. The oldies, in-laws and my house hold will smash up the fillets in no time! Stoked I found a new mark, now back to dreaming about my next trip. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi King chaser - great report. I share your passion for Kingies - a great feeling to have your arms (and calves) burning from a good session on the kings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hey hey hey, awesome mate! They are some decent kings. I can only image the different ways you will cook them and I’m salivating 😋 Good to see you did some searching for yourself and it paid dividends. A mark is a mark and a good place to start. But fish have tails and they swim too! Lol A very nice solo trip indeed. I hope you gave yourself a hi 5 👋 cheers scratchie!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole body was hurting today, but that was ok because still on a high from a cracking fishing trip. Can wait to get back out there and get stuck into another King.

Nicely done Some of the guys out at longreef the other day said the kings around that size wouldn't take any livies either & got there's on jigs as well. Sounds like a bit of a pattern for this time of the year maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
