Kingfish starting to bite on the Vic eastern coast?

Post by ChrisAbout » Wed Nov 23, 2016 7:43 am

A mate went past Fishing Fever yesterday and one of the guys there was talking about large schools of Kingfish having been sighted at Merrimbulla, as well as pictures of some catches.

Can anyone confirm this?

The hot weekend would have got em fired up. Back in their shells now though until it gets warm again.

Another week or 2 and they will be running hot at Conran/Mallacoota, and if you're keen they will be pretty consistent at Eden this time of year.
