Yellowtail King

Had a good week down south last week.

Managed to get a couple of days out deep, same spot I fished January 2011. In my boat (5.5metres centre console-90hp Yamaha two stroke) I only head out there when the weather is good, low swell and light winds. We came across heaps of Sambo's a few Blackarse, Harlequin and Nannygai/Red Snapper.

Highlight of the fishing was this Yellowtail King caught on a mulie which gave me a good workout for 20 minutes before landing, a few hectic moments when it tangled with the sea anchor but eventually got it in for a few photo's and it released well.

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.
