South West Kingies

Got a good tip off from the guys at Dunsborough Outdoor Sportz about some good size kingies been caught. With the weather looking the goods I shot out today to see if I could find them.

Within minutes of arriving at a particular spot it was on. Managed to get about half a dozen to the boat in a hour long session. These guys were a great size and went extremely hard. Easily the hardest fighting fish I have come across in the metro or south west.

Was one of the best jigging sessions I have had and to top off a great day we found a massive school of SBT on the way home that where hitting lures as soon as they hit the water.

I always tow a lure or 2 out

Mon, 2011-12-05 19:43

I always tow a lure or 2 out the back when cruising past Cape Notto and have caught quite a few that way, deep diving lures worked the best, especially red head ones.

 

Cheers

Hi Brendon

Mon, 2011-12-05 20:35

Nice to see you on Sunday, although, i would have preferred to have been with you today by the looks of those YTK. Dave mentioned today he got into a few the other day. Good to see that you also managed to find them...again. As i always say, you boys down there know how to make us city dwellers feel really good.

Hope to catch up soon.

Nice work mate.

Dave
