Thread: Canterbury kingfish

I’m just getting my head around it here but a few things I have learnt so far.

Spend the time locating good current lines and the clumps of kelp, logs etc that you are looking for will be close by.

I’m finding that the fish are very boat shy and when you have spent the time and effort in finding them don’t blow it by being impatient and charging in range with the boat for a cast. Use the wind to drift silently into range and get that first cast spot on. Better still try and line up several objects for the same drift.

The wind yesterday morning made things hard work, but there were a few fish around. Hooked another 2 which is bloody exciting on the surface with a stick bait but am yet to boat one so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Keen to hear how others are getting on.
