KG saves the day
Went out early this morning in the hope of finding some inshore snapper. Got to our spot and water was green as but started the burley trail anyway.. Spent about 2 hours there for no reward so we decided to move closer in, a few hundred metres off the beach, to get some whiting (for bait). DIdnt take long for the whiting to come on the bite, they were all good sized 25-32cm so kept them for the table. Ended up with a good 15 or so..we drifted into some very random broken ground in the middle of sand.. Kept persisting with the whiting rigs and up came a bigger darker spottier whiting, woohoo! a King george in very unsuspecting ground, kept going and another 6 soon followed but lost plenty more due to the baitchasers straightening.. Biggest KG went 43cm, good size for a few hundred metres off the beach. Hopefully we have found a reliable spot for KG's especially with the demersal ban looming.

Sheesh, I was happy with my suprise catch of a single 44cm kg yesterday. Nice work, bit of filleting to be done there...
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Cheers guys,Spent way too
Cheers guys,
Spent way too long trying to fillet and skin the sandies.. Thought they were big enough to wack a fillet off them but going to just cook them whole next time. They went down a treat anyway.
Very suprised at the size of these sandies, usually around that spot there are alot of smaller (bait sized) ones but none were under 25cm.
Have previuously bagged out in the sound with 30-35cm KG's but this was N.O.R literally a few hundred metres off the beach. Size was much bigger than in the sound in my experience anyway.
