    Very interesting 30mins or so, a 1 to 1.2m kingie was nosing our burley pot. I dropped pillies, squid, 3x lures and a bloody live Trev on its nose - nothing. I guess they don't get big by being dumb. Awesome to see .


    Would have liked to have caught it though........
    I would have suggested you dive on top of it with a knife in hand but then realised that a Kingi that size would have outweighed you! Take a slasher next time.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That is true

    This is the second time I've had it happen. Great to see but really wanted it.
    Today had a flash of inspiration - I need a spear gun......

    Your challenge is to design a semi auto or perhaps a pump action speargun.

    Brought spear gun, went fishing, kingie having a go at burley bag - again. Tried my limited skills to catch it (pillies, squid, 2x lures, a jig and a livie (which a bird got....) ) again wouldn't take anything.
    Spear gun over the back, first shot (and first shot ever of a spear gun) mis. Second shoot - right behind the eye. 90cm kingie. No pics as it got abit interesting from then......

    Tasted very nice last night for dinner.....

    Work and other commitments have been getting in the way far to much lately.....I am desperate to get a fish on the end of a line!
    As it was the best I could do was soak a net for a couple of hours today in between jobs....2 flounder.

    Hopefully I can get my ute sorted next week and trailer sorted over the next few weeks just in time for Snapper(ok spikey dogs but I might get a few snaps)
