On Monday I went out in the harbour to meet a
boat Mechanic and I decided that I would have a quick fish before I met up with
him at around 7 AM in the morning.
The morning was overcast and the water
looked clear as it had not been raining for some days.
As I was meeting the mechanic off Noakes
boat slipway I decided to see if any fish were biting.
At first I trolled around to see if any
fish were on the sounder and found a patch of fish near a large barge that is
moored up near Noakes slipway.
At first I used the downrigger and
trolled a plastic lure to see if I could get any bites.
I was reasonably hopeful that I was
going to hook up as the plastic lure was taking a number of bites however I did
not manage to secure any hook ups.
I then went opposite the large barge and
proceeded to drop the lead gig plastic
lure to the bottom and on the third drop I had a significant hook up from what
appeared to be quite a substantially strong fish
As I was using a light rod which is one
of the new micro jig rods I was able to control the fish within reason although
I am sure that if there had been any moorings
or reef in the area I would of lost the fish
Finally after 10 minutes I saw that I
had hooked up a kingfish of around 6 pound and this was the reason for the
difficult fight. They certainly can pull out these kingfish.
So great morning was had and a much
enjoyable fishing trip
