Ended up going over to Flinders and sounded some nice arches. Towed a few lures around plus a dead bait. but no takers.

Re: Deck hand tomorrow(friday)
It's a lot easier managing rods trolling with a Deckie especially fishing in treacherous waters, near headlands or other boats. If it's open water then thats a different story.MsShimano wrote:I went with a friend.rb85 wrote:Did you go Solo or with a charter?MsShimano wrote:Should of tried trolling a few livies! seemed to work last time.. they were coming up to smack the slimey as I was reeling in.

Hydraulic or non feedback steering, little bit of throttle and being mindful which way the boats pointing. Doable quite easily, although difficult

Re: Deck hand tomorrow(friday)
Not wanting to start a shitfight but dont forget the fact that its a lot easier finding kingfish in sydney than in melbourne. I wish we had a similar king fish fishery. Hopefully the ban on netting will see it improve.MsShimano wrote:Should of tried trolling a few livies! seemed to work last time.. they were coming up to smack the slimey as I was reeling in.

That's what I do with engine tilt neutral still easier having two people to fish properly I feel.cobby wrote:Hydraulic or non feedback steering, little bit of throttle and being mindful which way the boats pointing. Doable quite easily, although difficult

I agree. Kingies in Vic are hard going. Just like a big snapper here is a common occurance in SA / WA etc.purple5ive wrote:Not wanting to start a shitfight but dont forget the fact that its a lot easier finding kingfish in sydney than in melbourne.

Kingfish will improve tremendously as bait populations improve in the bay. Soon you will be able to land based kingies from St Kilda!

Re: Deck hand tomorrow(friday)
Yep exactly Victoria's a different game. There's many techniques for lots of different species some will work one day and not the next.
