    Mean, what you getting, I've got a F14 at the moment will likely be ordering a 535 this year. Looks like they have a heap on at the moment

    Yeah I have got then within a k quite a few times but find myself around 10k off usually, been really rough last few days, very good bite today, speaking of which, saw one swimming around with a well chewed up tail

    Awesome.

    Trolling, jigging, swimming live baits - what's the best way to target them here?

    Must give it a go.

    You can get them trolling but I prefer casting stick baits at them, had a few chasing high speed jigs today but water is too shallow to be able to really work them properly

    Thats awesome to see, I have just got back from Picton and there are really good numbers of good sized fish as well. I only caught them on Rapalas but the guys who had the stick baits did 10x better than me. Just wondering what size stick bait are you throwing at them?

    Has anybody been out looking for Kingfish around Banks Peninsula this season?

    I was out on Thursday and had one solid hook up on a stick bait (big thanks to distant stalker for the ‘how to’ advice!) and saw another fish stalking the current lines. First fish I have seen this season.

    How are others doing?
