Kings And Other Things
Hi guys ,well today i went out of the goldie with an old mate of mine on a soft placcie fishing charter and what a day it turned out to be . We left the broadwater at 5.45 am and headed out with 10 customers onboard SEA PROBE CHARTERS with gavin the captain and headed to the 84 mt mark north of the goldie ,there were some good shows on the sounder so down went the 7in pearl white gulps on a 1 1/2 oz jigheads attached to 30lb leader which was attached to 30lb braid on my 4000 daiwa capricorn ,the rod of choise was a wilson live fibre blades n tales series rod in a extra heavy.First pass i hooked up on something solid and this turned out to be a kingie of about 3 kg ,next thing while retrieveing my fish two more hooked up solid on placcies while the bait guys stood there with there mouths open watching the action all around them . We made another 8-10 passes and we had all caught enough kingies their were 30 in the esky myself catching 7 of them . They were all between 3 -5 kg so they are all great eating size ,we then headed in to look for some snapper on some shallower ground north of the pin bar ,the first drift produced nothing but a small trevally so we went back up to start our drit again i had now changed to a 1 oz jighead and a 7in green and white gulp ,while the others were jiging away visciously on there placcies i was concentrating on making sure i was on the bottom and slowly rolling it over the bottom. Next thing you know i have a hell tight line and some monster head shakes thinking i had caught the mother of all snapper i had to work hard to keep it of the bottom after a 10 min tussel it wasn't bumping like a snapper usually does but i was getting some big head shakes as it started to come to the surface the captain called it for a silver jew . Well lo and behold the silver glistening side of a estimated 15kg jew started rising to the surface it was a beauty a new P.B on a placcie for me , before we left my mates son zac also hooked up to one as well and so did another bloke rob ,we did get a few small snapper but i wont talk anymore as it maybe getting a bit boring . At this point i would like to thank my mate EUWAN for inviting me along and GAVIN the captain on SEAPROBE fishing charters and ausfish for supplying enough info for me to be able to get the info i need to catch such magnificent fish also thanks ausfish for the new shirt it works for me its my new lucky shirt i guess ....
