Well a new year and a new target....
It was early doors for us, woke the boys at 1/4 to 5 and off around to Dads. Hooked the boat on and we were out the channel early.
With the snapper around here well and truly into their spawning cycle we kept the boat free of bait and burley for a change.
It was out to the 'spat farm off Mot to chase some kingies. Only one other boat at the mussel farm early which is almost unheard of at this time of year and just the way I like it
We ran a mixed spread of two tuna skirts, two top water lures and a deep diving rapala. All of which were to see some action.
We found them in packs as is often the case and as per usual the rats were quickest to the lures. We were ready for them tho and who ever wasn't busy when we hooked up grabbed the pre rigged jig rod and got busy with that. Often straight thru the rats to the bigger ones below.
Ended up boating 9 king's. Released 8 to fight another day (really need to get me a tagger) Kept one for the BBQ

Another magic morning on the water but the real treasure is having three generations of this fishing mad family on the boat shearing the experience together
Looking forward to an awesome year full of fun and adventures. All the best for 2023 team !!
