Hey Guys,

First time on the site in ages, i finished my exams (school certificate) and i am signed out of school for the rest of the year now. So after getting some other issues out of the way, i am getting back into doing some more fishing, so today me and dad headed out to the bay.

First stop at around 8, we were fishing at the breakwall, one whole squid on the bottom, one floated out in the burley trail, with 2 rods out for Bream/Flatties with prawns for bait.

An hour and a half later, no bites, and no one around us catching anything, we thought we'd do a troll outside, so i set up 2 Xmas trees lures, 1 blue, 1 pink.

Anyways, we put the lures out at the drums, and planned to troll along the rocky headlands, around to boat point and back, but within 5 minutes my rod (1500 Sonora, 4lb mono, i was asking for trouble) started screaming. (The other rod had my 4000 BaitrunnerD with 15lb mono)

After a lot of runs, chasing with the boat, i seen a Kingie around 70cm at the boat, but as soon as he seen me, he screamed off again but this time he didn't stop (Must of found a reef or something) and busted me off. Couldn't believe it, would of been my first legal Kingie, but far out it was fun on the light gear.

Anyways, i got some footage of it on the Camcorder, i'll edit a video and put it on YouTube.

We kept trolling around for another 2 hours, and got nothing, so we went for a quick drift at Towra point, it was windy, cold, and i just wanted to get in.

Anyway, with all that done, i got a few weeks free, Jumpy you got 2 spare spots in your boat to teach me and dad something about Kingies ? We are getting a new boat soon and i am thinking of investing in a Downrigger. Any tips or help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ewe wont risten will ewe ?? told ewe to cover the melon ask spud 4 wun of his potato sacks



Better served trolling divers /bibless minnows if after girly fush rather than xtrees



They are a bit of fun on light gear wait till ewe have them behind the goat 4 hrs hooking up with virtually every cast



Can be arranged but ewe're not allowed to ride in the LBT else the jellybean will get the Pu Pu's
Girly Fish are velly easy to find when they're there been meaning to make a teaser which I can clip onto the udder outrigger to attract them alot better

Alright thanks mate, sounds good.

Take your earplugs with you Dan.

Haha, i'll be right mate.

Jumpus, what are the days i can get a spot mate ? do i need to bring gear ? If so, what would i need to bring ?

I'm more then happy to chip in with fuel cost/lunch, whatever.

Buggered if I know have to get over this annoying wittle virus 1st
Besides the weather not being to kind wind wise 4 next week makes it hard to get live squiddys

No worries, i got 6 weeks off, might try another troll with deep drivers this week, last trip to check afew things before putting the boat on the market.

You getting a new boat Dan?

Yeah mate, had a looky at a 4.8 AllyPlate with a 70hp Yamaha and really like the room in it, so that looks on the cards.

Poly is selling his goat Danusun
Thought ewe would have jumped to buy it

Next Munday has the winds downgraded, just needs a bit of cleaner water in the bay to draw the girls in

Got told the water was dirty as on the weekend with 2 million peeps downrigging for only a wittle handfull of girlys being caught
