Epic Day Out... Kings
HI all.
We had a good day out to today so Id thought Id share. Me and the mrs are on a holiday in NZ So i thought Id get a bit of fishing in while we are here. We booked a couple of days out with Epic fishing adventures chasing kings
Things were not looking to good when we arrived in whittianga with a forecast of 30knots winds for day1. So we had a chat to our skipper Toby and he suggested we go out for a half day and fish light tackle (4kg) and stay in close. We left this morning and stayed in the bay. First up we pulled a couple of cray pots Toby set the day before and got a couple of crays for dinner. Then it was King Fish time we were straight into the action with a few nice kings on the 4kg gear. Then Terri hooked into a nice fish while trying to catch bait on a sabiki rig.The Next fish was very stubborn and it was a long battle of about 30min on the light gear and resulted in a 20kg King. Terri landed another nice king about 15kg and a good 20 minute battle. All up we would of caught over 20 Kingis and a few Salmon in there to and home by 1. all fish were caught and released!
Cant wait for Day 2 we are heading out deep. Cheers Toby... Epic
