Launched from Bribie Island on Tuesday morning at about 8am. Nice ride out to the back of Moreton. Very few boats, as you would expect for a Tuesday morning, and very calm seas. Threw out the sea anchor for a drift and on the 2nd drift I put my rod in the holder whilst getting some bait out and BANG....off she went like a rocket. I picket it up and set the hook and it was on. I wasn't sure what it was for the first 10 mins but once I got it to about 10metres I could tell. 15 mins later I landed this lovely 110cm Yellowtail Kingfish approx 12kg. For the rest of the day everything else was 2nd best. A few squire, some taylor, sweetlip, spangled emps and heaps of reef fish to small to bother with. Ride home was superb. The bay was like a pond and at 40mph was back at the ramp in no time. Kingfish steaks for the whole family this week !!!
nice fish, what depth did you get him, bait etc. I got a 18kg specimen in 95 metres at deep tempest the other week and they put up a hell of a fight from that depth.
Lethal 98: I caught him in about 25metres on half a pilly. He took a lot of line for the first 5 minutes or so. Had only just got started and wasn't really paying to much attention, just wanted to get a line in the water. My mate caught one near shallow tempest a couple of weeks ago. How was your arm after 95metres? Ouch !!!
