Kings and King

Headed out to one of my old haunts for a sunrise anchor and burley bash, unfortunately we came up short on the pink things after dropping 2 big fish and landing one 48cm model all in 10 minutes, but managed a consolation prize of a nice 45cm king george.

Once we ran out of burley we headed out deeper but concentrating on the shallower shoals we found some nice plegaics feeding under just a few wheeling birds. First drift saw my brother connect to a nice sambo that belted the daylight out of a stickbait on the surface.

Every drift entertained us with hook-ups or surface strikes for an hour or so before the wind sent us packing.

Took home a nice bag that I shared out with some good friends, Goodz sending in a pic later that night teasing us with a delicious looking snack he knocked up after filleting a few kings.

I didn't keep any Glen haha. Goodz took 4 and dad took 1 but from all reports the flesh was all solid and not much blood through the meat, i made sure to bleed them out real well while on the water

kings (without the bug) are my favourite smoking fish. Bloody top sashimi too. I wish they were more prevalent in WA.

 

Also, your bro looks like a terrorist.
