    A livie close to the bottom is probably the best way to target Kingies,Just need to find them

    Hi Mate,
    Livies on the bottom will score you a king.
    If you can get them PIKE are a top king bait.

    Down in Sydney we found that trolling lures around rocky headlands for tailor also gets a few kingies. Should be the same up here, but haven't tried it. Other than that, livies are your best bet.

    Here in SA a live squid would have to be my number 1 bait to use.... we suspend them about a metre or 2 below a balloon...

    Try live yellowtail or live squid at sunrise and if you can't get them use a metal spinner or soft plastic or even frozen pillies around deep water were their is alot of rocky stucture and available food.
