Today's trip consisted of half beginners and half regulars and they are always exciting as the beginners luck sees for an interesting day. And this was no exception! Although the closer spots held heaps of bai
t the kings were lacking and a move to deeper water saw instant hook ups on large kings. The first timers did well with some big ones hooked and lost and eventually some landed. One particularly big one was hooked pulling off maximum drag and eventually reefing the angler, a shame to loose his first big king. Sometimes it doesn't matter what breaking strain your leader is, when you hook a big king right on the bottom they know exactly what to do. The River2Sea Spike jigs were doing all the damage, they remain my favourite jig for the larger kings. The kings were in a very small area so boat positioning is crucial otherwise you catch nothing. Unfortunately the kings didn't play for too long and didn't return at the tide change but a couple of bigger models each was a good effort for when the kings are temperamental.
