Thread: Kingis in the dinghy

Got 2 mates onto their first kings and regularly outfished the bigger boats in the pass with smart use of the sounder. Absolutely loads of Bronzies around, got a set of teeth marks in the Suzuki to keep, and maybe lost 6-8 fish to them. Landed a 2m shark to the boat on a Calcutta 401 baitcaster... Took 2 kingis home for the freezer. Epic trip.

Good stuff. Amazing place eh.
The sharks can be a good battle too if you target them. Especially from the shore.
