lost kingie and surgeons in harbour! >_<

Went there at 5:30am to be surprised with the usual 2 old asian couples with over 15 beach rods!!!! Thats why i had a hard time fighting the kingie cuz i had to go under all of them.



got there at 5:30 am, started squiding but noting. tried yakkas none. Then burley some soaked bread got a few yakkas. One was a whopping 30cm yakka! we kept it for bait lol.


anyways we proceeded fishing but it was very quiet and strange cuz there was no yakkas at all. Then we realised it mite be a kingie lurking around in that burley trail.

Then at 730am I head my lightest yakka rod (2-4, 9lb vanish) go off liek a steam train. I was using a tiny bit of prawn and a size 12 hook for yakkas LOL! and it took it!! cant believe it. yeh So started fighting the fish for 3 minutes and i had to go under like sooo many rods. and then it was getting tired. it went kinda around the pylon. I knew i was gonna lose the fight but my friend saw it floating on its belly on the surface lol but then it had one last run and cut me off!!!!! ARGH! there goes a 70cm+ kingie. Why couldnt it take my 20lb braid?! i guess kingies are greedy lol.

That was my first kingie hook up!!!

Yeh then we targetted surgeons. Drkcld managed to hook 2 up. One pulled hook and one threw the hook. the first surgeon was a visual hook up which was around 50cm.


Yeh it was a good day but didnt really bring any fish home. I am happy yet so sad
