Vertical lure. Big ones that you jig up hard, jerkey and fast.

Before you post, think about what you know about catching a certain species and then post questions to improve your knowledge.

For example: "Hi all,

I've been doing a fair bit of landbased fishing and wanted to venture into something a bit more fun.
I'm looking to catch some Yellowtail Kingfish off the land as I do not have a boat.

Has anyone had any success and can recommend an area for me to try?? Also, what should I look for when trying to target Kingfish?

I understand that people with boats troll for them with lures. I also understand that one of their favourite baits is a live Yakka. How can I catch these Yakkas?? What hooks should I use??

Any help would be appreciated.

Matt"








THAT IS HOW YOU WRITE A TOPIC!!!

Spot on mate , you nailed it . :clap:
