Xmas Kingie presents arrived within 2 hours
Finally i landed my first legal landbased kingie. What a feeling!
Alrite here's the story. Drkcld and I got there at 6am, my rod goes off first, then it some how snagged onto the bottom. I lifted it up a bit and it came off the snag, and pulled the fish in with 1 minute. It was so easy to pump, my first legal kingie at 75cm. The strangers next to me told me not to pump and wind fast, but they are soooo wrong. If i didnt i wouldve lost it as it was going to the pylon already lol, caught on 50lb line, drkcld missed the first netting as the kingie jumped out of it, but got it the 2nd time.
Next it was Drkcld's turn not long after me, people at the spot were just jealous cause we got another one hahaha he nicely pumped it out, but this one was alot weaker, maybe cause it was so FULL! (1 prawn, two undigested yakka, 2 hooks)
Anyways both of our kingies are taken to our Xmas BBQ for tonight. =)
Went home in 2 hours after a quick session. =)
REPORT 22nd December 2008
Got there at 6am with drkcld but didnt have good enough bait! Only a bag of filthy old pillies.
So we decided to plastic and throw a stickbait and my other green squidgy around.
Drkcld was doing the usual until he got his first kingie on my stickbait! first time we got anything on stickbait. landed it and it was around 55cm or so, quick photo and back it went.
Drkcld was doing the usual again until he got his 2nd kingie, this time being pretty decent on the green squidgy. It was around 75cm model, he locked drag, he pumped and pumped, until it ran a bit more and it pulled the hook! Almost had it, but the hook just couldnt take the drag pressure.
heres a photo of what i mean...
